Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finished a working holiday visa working as a nurse in Sydney and Brisbane. Returning to Sydney for four years.
Have the craic!!
Get out there & be more inspired to become innovative and happy through seeing new places, meeting new people and being part of a culture of helping others.
ABOUT ME
I enjoy a good conversation about travel, food, experiences, good memories anything interesting. Not fond of gossip & all things celebrity.
PHILOSOPHY
Surround yourself with people who are good for you.
Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meet new travellers, people of all ages and cultures.
To be exposed to new experiences.
Interests
Indoor and outdoor rock climbing in Sydney and Brisbane.
Kayaking in Ireland, Sweden (Arctic Circle), French Alps, Slovenia. I enjoy surfing on Ireland's (cold!) west coast. I've returned to surfing in Australia.
Canoe Polo: I play canoe polo with my university, Dublin City University.
Mountain-biking: I love cross-country biking and road cycling in Ireland and in Wales and Scotland.
Travel: I can't get enough of travelling and do this as often as I can. I particularly enjoy small short trips around Ireland & Europe where I get to push myself out of my comfort zone, meet new people and have new experiences.
I plan to become a pilot of a small single engine aircraft. Currently I am a regular passenger where I observe, listen and learn.
Looking forward to meeting many CouchSurfers this year and hopefully hosting when I get a place to live.

Music, Movies, and Books
Adventure movies, travel/video/ flying blogs from YouTube. Love comedy (Tommy Tiernan, Dara O'Briain, Peter Kay). Enjoy cooking - love tasting new food. I need tuition creating good food! Thai is my favourite at present!
I'd really like to read more. When I do I like to read entrepreneurial books, comedy (anything by Paul Howard/ Ross O'Carroll Kelly) & travel magazines/ diaries/ books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Performed CPR for 22 minutes. Patient survived :-)
Teach, Learn, Share
Fun, a good cup of tea, the Irish 'craic' & a place to put your head.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a great set of ears! I'm a fantastic listener.
I can tell you lots about the Green Isle (Ireland) and confirm/deny truths or suspicions you may have! FACT: My father was a leprechaun!
