I'm 28, from Ireland but live in London, and I am currently a PhD student of biomedical engineering.

I'm friendly and outgoing and love to meet new people. I have a big passion for reading, and also many kinds of music and movies. I have done all sorts of travel, including teaching English in Vietnam for one year and volunteer work in India and Nepal. I also love to be active and am mainly into hiking, yoga, swimming and cycling. Always on the hunt for new experiences! Some more loves -> asian food (spicy!), chess, meditation, beers, nature, graphic novels, building things, coffee and green tea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be spending two weeks volunteering in Athens, in refugee support, but I would also love to meet some locals!
