Hello! My name is Clare and I'm an American ex-pat who has recently moved to Dublin, Ireland. I'm living in the city and doing as much traveling in the country and beyond as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Couchsurfing because I want to not only see as much of the world as I can, but also meet and befriend the people in the places I go. I think connecting with any given community is the quickest way to really engage with a place, and it's the best way I can think of to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked as a horseback riding instructor in northern Michigan for two summers. On one of our Saturdays off, we took our favorite horses up to a clearing on top of a hill and galloped as fast as we could while the sun set.

Teach, Learn, Share

I sing and love to share in music making and storytelling. I love to cook and sharing meals is one of my favorite things to do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and am a very good listener. I love to learn where someone came from and how they ended up where they are. I'm very independent and am very happy to help out when I can.
