I'm Lisa and I am from Ireland. I have recently just moved to Kampala to work with an Irish Development NGO . I have lots of interests- I absolutely love traveling and I wish The Lonely Planet would hire me so I could spend my time exploring places and cultures. My favourite country that I have been so far is Thailand and this is where I learned how to scuba dive and went on to become a Scuba Diving Instructor.

I recently started acting classes back in Ireland which I loved and it was a great way to meet people. As well as acting I love films and going to the cinema. It's definitely one of my favourite hobbies. In Ireland it's so cold so the cinema is always a great option.

I also move music . I used to love going to gigs but havent been to a good gig in years id say so would love to get back into going. I like all types of music from pop to hard rock -Taylor Swift to Metallica. I like to sing but I am not a professional in any way shape or form!

I love anything to do with crafts. I could literally spend my weekends painting, drawing or doing crafty things.

Anyway I think that kind of sums me up. Im a saggitarius and the description of it sums me up quite well -adventurous, careless, enthusiatic, creative,tactless, big hearted, honest (brutally sometimes) loyal and impatient!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people while I'm in Uganda and maybe host if I've time at weekends. I will not be hosting people until mid January so If you are planning a trip after that give me a shout!
