Hi everyone, I'm Claire!
I am a recent graduate of Bachelors of Arts in Music and Nua Ghaeilge (Irish language) in Maynooth University.
I'm also a cellist and my passion is playing with duo called LemonCello [if you want to hear more! https://www.presskit.to/lemoncello]. We play concerts all around Ireland and abroad, music is a great way to travel the world.

I am as sociable, friendly and respectful person, and I would love to exchange my experiences as an impoverished musician for a place on your couch!
Hope to hear from you soon!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like everyone else, to meet new and exciting people.
What better way to experience a country than by exchanging stories with a local?

Music, Movies, and Books

I was brought up learning cello and flute classically so I have a huge interest in classical music. My father always had music playing in our home too, from The Beatles to The Stranglers to The Mamas and the Papas, anything from the 60s/70s era.
I now listen to a broad range of music. From Snarky Puppy to Mac Demarco to Tame Impala to the Gloaming to Debussy. This conversation needs to happen in person as I could be here for a very long time..! haha, likewise with movies and books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

teach Kurt Cobain how to play guitar

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching people about Ireland's culture and language, as well as playing music with as many people as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me, too)
