About Me

Hello! I am 22, a recent college graduate, and currently living in Northern Ireland to work with child on the autism spectrum. I love working with children and traveling the world, so I am in my happy place all the way up here in the UK. I am currently living with my best friend, Charlotte, and we have many weekends off to travel Europe using our home in Northern Ireland as a base! We are very clean, respectful, and quiet (but we also like to have fun!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet people and learn about the places I visit from actual residents! I am more interested in home-stay experiences, than luxury hotels, and love the idea of meeting new people and having enlightening conversations!

Interests

I am especially interested in working with children with special needs. I plan on using my philosophy degree to change the language we use when talking about disabilities and I dream of changing the stigmas around these children to make the world a more welcoming place for those in challenging conditions.
