Born and raised in the USA, I’ve been living in the England for the last 2.5 years! Since then, I’ve met my partner, Eamon, who is from Northern Ireland. He’s joined me and my cat, Arlo, in our cozy home in Suffolk, where we pass the days painting, reading, gardening, playing Wingspan, and drinking copious amounts of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, my partner and I are on a mission to find our forever home! We’re exploring different parts of the UK and Ireland to try to decide where we’d like to settle, and we’d love a local’s perspective!

Interests

I have always loved doing arts and crafts, and I’ve been trying to get back into regularly painting and illustrating! I also enjoy cooking, baking, eating - basically anything that involves food - especially when it’s enhanced with good vibes and good people!

Eamon is a gardener, and we dream of having our own house to raise our family and host loved ones - complete with a big garden to enjoy!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The 10th Kingdom, Legend (The one with Tom Cruise in a tunic and loads of sparkles!), Practical Magic, The Family Stone, Hocus Pocus, pretty much all Christmas movies, and all of the Harry Potter movies (They are so nostalgic and bring me so much comfort!).

Books: I’m forever into fantasy and science fiction, and I’m currently reading The League of Gentlewomen Witches.

Music: Let's exchange Spotify playlists! I listen to too much of a variety to really keep track, but in general it's indie, classic rock, pop, and folk music. I also love a good 90s/00s throwback.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved abroad to seek a better, more peaceful life for myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

Both Eamon and I are artists, and we’d love the opportunity to do anything related to that! We can also whip up a decent meal!

Additionally, Eamon is a phenomenal gardener with a robust seed collection and knack for memorizing the Latin names of plants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some good conversation, at least!
