About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To write a book and find a new and ethical path for my career

ABOUT ME

I am a 34 year old Irish girl living currently in Dublin and previously in London and Amsterdam.

My career has been in advertising but I am not comfortable with the ethics of the industry and am looking for ways to combine my values with my occupation.

I took a long career break since 2012 and have been doing bits of marketing work since, but am yet to konw what way I'm going to occupy myself more permanently going forward.

In the meantime, it's back to India for some more "me time", mediation, yoga, healing, fun, adventure, nature, interesting people and hopefully - I'll write a book along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart to freedom and bliss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only had one couch surf experience, it went really well and I'm looking forward to experiencing more.

I'd love to offer my couch to all members but because I live in my family home right now, I can only offer to people I have already met.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Iker in Spain for 4 nights and was made feel like part of his family, a truly lovely experience.

Interests

Meeting new people, good conversations about life and what's happening in society these days, I've recently started the voilin, I love to sing and dance, I paint when the mood takes me, I'm a great cook and always ready to whip up a meal :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have to say the most amazing thing I have done - was back in 2009, I organized a Michael Jackson tribute in Amsterdam - google mj flashmob amsterdam - we taught over 1k people how to dance to thriller in Vondelpark here in Amsterdam and then the crowd grew to over 2k and we moved around the whole city doing dances in 4 different points. Was a crazy surreal week of madness. But wow. Amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anything about communications especially digital communications as this is what I master.

I'm getting better at Poi, hoping to get a lot better this Spring in India :)
