Hi :)

Skipping to the important stuff first..

I'm not really a sporty gal so if I turn out to be a axe-wielding murderer you can easily outrun me.
I'm pretty small so (to my dismay) quite non-threatening and don't take up too much room.
I can play nice and share with others (sister to two divas).

---

- I was lucky to be raised predominantly in NZ (if you haven't been, do it!) by an abnormal but amazing family.

- My big loves are music, creating things, food, beautiful scenery, animal folk and (I'll deny I ever said this) the people folk in my life. On principle I hate everybody but somehow every time I meet someone my ice melts, I decide they're okay and end up loving them to bits.

- I'm pretty open probably because I suck at small talk. I enjoy chatting and getting to know people over a few drinks. I am passionate about way too many things and love to hear about what makes other people tick :)

- I'm a bit nerdy (academically I'm mainly interested in Harry Potter).

- I am addicted to ice blocks/lollies in a serious way (forget the couch, might you have space in your freezer?)

- I am a vehement advocate for maintaining your childish sense of fun/shenanigans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm working/studying and travelling in Ireland and hoping to meet some new/better people and have adventures :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie/alternative (whatever that means): Belle & Sebastian, Imogen Heap, Hozier, Foy Vance, Regina Spektor, Kings of Convenience, Simon & Garfunkel, Tegan & Sara
Country: Brandi Carlile, Ray Lamontagne
Old school: Bob Dylan, The Smiths, The Clash, The Velvet Underground, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Ramones, The Kinks, The Pixies, Leonard Cohen, The Who, The Beatles,
Rock/Metal: AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Korn, Behemoth, Guns N Roses
Black Metal: Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth
Smooth Jazz: Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Etta James, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald
Guiltiest pleasure (we all have them): T Swift

Questionable taste in movies/TV and serial rewatcher. LOVE kids movies. Favourite comedy series include Black Books, IT crowd and Miranda.

Used to love reading but lost that passion early in my degree. Hoping to be reinspired :)
