An American on the run from the Trumpocalypse. I'm traveling in Ireland for the year and moving around a lot, exploring different areas and attending all sorts of cultural events. I don't really know anyone, but I'd like to meet new people and new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Upon graduating, I received a fellowship for a year of travel in Ireland. I'm spending that year divided between WWOOFing in the country and spending time in different cities, especially for festivals of all kinds. So far I've been making do with hostels and Airbnbs when I'm in the city, but recently a friend of mine suggested I look into Couchsurfing if I'll be living this migratory lifestyle for a year.
