About Me

Hi there! I was born and raised in New York, but moved to Ireland this year to finish school and pursue a career in Publishing. I've just completed my degree in English Literature and I will be starting my postgraduate studies in Literature and Publishing this September. Over the past year I've traveled to Madrid, Berlin, London, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam. I'm a firm believer that if you never venture out of your comfort zone, you will never evolve. Before its possible to be insanely happy, you first have to be painfully uncomfortable. I'm planning to visit Rome and Granada this May, and I would be extremely appreciative if someone agreed to host me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few friends introduced me to Couchsurfing and at first I was skeptical, but after thoroughly researching the site it seems to be the best option for travel accommodation. I believe staying with locals will give me a better sense of a place and its culture. I'm not a big fan of the touristy stuff, and I'd much prefer to explore the unbeaten path.
