22 years old and Irish. Living in Pistoia, Italia this summer teaching English, spending as much time as I can (on weekends mainly) in Firenze and visiting new cities. Enjoying the summer since I just graduated from the University of Manchester last month in Environmental Science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to save cash travelling this summer, to get a more genuine flavour of more destinations, to see cities from the perspective of a local, to meet good people and to make good memories.

Interests

Having fun, trying new things, music, books, physics, like talking politics, perspectives, experiences. Also enjoy talking about absolutley nothing in particular.

Music, Movies, and Books

Techno when I'm drinking.

Books wise- Huckleberry Finn is my favourite book. Read most of the classics, most recently Fahrenheit 451, Sapiens, Coleridge, Reni Eddo Lodge, Virgina Woolf.

Movies- my favourite has to be From Dusk Til Dawn. It’s just class. Honourable mentions include Dancer in the Dark, Carrie (1976), Vertigo, Holy Motors, I love too many films to name though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can teleport a bit (only when I'm in the mood).

Teach, Learn, Share

Willing to learn anything about anything. Willing to share stories, experiences, drinks and good fun. Currently an English teacher to kids, so we can practice that if you’re up for it. I just got a degree in Environmental Science, so I like talking about the climate and stuff. Everything interests me though to be honest!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just the craic. As can only be experienced with the Irish

But also help with chores, company, English, shared interests, ask me and I’m sure we’ll find common ground 👍
