HI! I grew up around Boston and continue to live in this wonderful, interesting, small city. Working to implement the US's new health care law (Obamacare) and helping people access health benefits keeps me busy nowadays.

I've had the opportunity to live in Strasbourg, France - Accra, Ghana - Washington, DC - and New York City. In the summer of 2013, I went to Europe and used couch surfing for a stay in Berlin and Salzburg and had a great experience. I surfed on my friend Abbie's account and didn't join couch surfing myself until just recently. This past summer, Nathan, my boyfriend, and I traveled to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia for two weeks. We stayed in some unique and beautiful places thanks to the generosity of friends.

We're coming to Dublin and Belfast in February 2015 and are very excited to see both cities and take some day trips to the shore. I've been to Ireland once before but never to Dublin. And, Nathan has never been to Ireland or Northern Ireland. We're hoping to eat some yummy seafood, listen to live music, and take in the history and culture of the both cities and surrounding region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good way to meet people and experience the local culture. I was introduced to couch surfing in the summer of 2013 and really liked it! My boyfriend, Nathan, is an avid couch surfing host and visitor, so we are hoping to stay for a short while with a friendly host in February when we visit Dublin, Belfast and the surrounding areas.
