About Me

I'm a fun-loving, down-to-earth Irish girl. I am very easy going and love spending time with my friends and going out on the town for a good dancing session or karaoke!
I caught the travelling bug when I did my Erasmus student exchange in Zaragoza, Spain in 2010.
I moved to Canada in the summer of 2016, where I met my current partner and fellow travel buddy!
In 2020 we decided to fulfil a dream of ours and converted a Sprinter Van, we call Vinny, to a home on wheels.
We are gearing up for our next big 3 month road trip from Montreal to California via Philadelphia, Washington, Florida, through the southern states and Nevada, and driving up the west coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a place where your faith in humanity is restored. The kindness of strangers is always amazing!
I've made so many great friends through the events organised by a few dedicated members.
It's always a comforting thought that when you don't have a huge travel budget, that a kind and generous local is waiting to accept you into their home and share their knowledge of their hometown.
So far i've only couchsurfed twice, and both were really great experiences.

Our biggest wish is to share amazing and memorable moments with fellow couchsurfers and locals.

* For this upcoming trip my partner and I will be looking mostly for a safe spot to park our van (see photos) and access to a shower and laundry, if possible, to help us on our first long haul trip around the beautiful states. Looking forward to a 2024 full of new advdentures and new friends on the road!
