Hello there :) My name is Claire, and I am Music Teacher from Limerick, Ireland. I would love to accept guests again soon but currently am studying and working full time so it is a bit too busy. Hopefully, I will get to accept guests again sometime :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing as I love talking to and meeting new people from all over the world! :) I love Ireland, and would be happy to show travellers around Limerick :)
Travelling is so addictive to me, and I am constantly planning my next adventure!

I really love the ethos of couchsurfing, and have met many new friends from it. It is so open, trusting and positive and is such a lovely way of connecting people from all over the word. :) :) <3

Interests

Music! Listening/writing/recording/performing :) Favourite genres would be rock, indie, folk, classical :)

I love languages, especially Gaeilge (Irish) and French!
I adore animals, and am a proud vegetarian <3
I love spending time in nature, on land or in the water :)
