About Me

I absolutely love to travel and meet new people. I have lived in Ireland, Spain, Dubai, Thailand and London. I'm pretty outgoing but also like quiet time. I love music, have dabbled in playing and singing in bands over the years. I socialise quite regularly and love to explore local cuisines, local music scene or other events. I'm pretty young at heart and adventurous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a spare room that could comfortably accommodate someone, right in the Old City of Chiang Mai. I'm a big believer in good karma and I travel a lot myself so it makes a lot of sense. During my backpacking days I often spent long periods not even having a conversation with people, because at times I felt shy (although I'm not, sometimes it's overwhelming to break into a group). I feel like this is a great opportunity to meet people and make connections all over the world.
