I’m a trained scientist, and spent the last few years teaching at an aquarium and schools, and providing childcare to families in Providence, RI.

This will be my first time in Ireland, and I've spent the past year reading Irish novels and nonfiction, listening to old stories, and learning about my ancestry there.

My main interests are culture, history, art, and natural beauty. Since I’m curious and open, I like talking with people, but also need quiet time to myself sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and *really* experience new places! Instead of renting a camper van, I've chosen the route of small hotels/BnBs/couch surfing so that I can really experience Ireland.
