About Me

***Won't be accepting guests until May***

CURRENT MISSION:
To take over the Irish broadcasting industry and to travel the world learning dances from each culture.

I love to learn about world cultures and meet new people. I'm a dreamer who loves to live life to the full. I've an open mind, an open heart and am forever an optimist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've recently decided to join couch surfing to travel and meet new people. I love to see a place from a natives perspective and to learn first hand about it. I'm a social person and love to meet people from all around the globe. I look forward to hosting people from all walks of life and creating friendships. I live in a very beautiful part of the world and having people to host gives me the chance to see it again and again as if for the first time.

Interests

I love to dance. On nights out and in the studio. I love being outdoors. Climbing, walking and horse-riding in beautiful places. I love being adventurous. Music is a huge part of my life. I play the Bodhrán (an Irish Drum). I party hard. I appreciate relaxed environments playing cards, jamming and having a few drinks. Playing all kinds of games makes me very happy. I love having lively discussions with new people on the world and politics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a dancer and a choreographer. I have my own segment on TG4 (the Irish language TV station) teaching dance so I could always show you a few moves. I've trained in many styles. I'm a native Irish speaker so if you enjoy languages I could teach you some Gaeilge.

I'd love to learn all sorts especially that which is connected with the culture of a place. Cooking, songs, dances etc. Customs and cultures of other countries are a big interest of mine and knowledge is no weight to carry.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home. I'd be only delighted to be a host and give advice or accompany guests on the best sights and activities. I have a lot of knowledge on Ireland's culture.
