I'm originally from England but I grew up in Ireland, so I have both a very British sense of humour and a very Irish dependency on tea. Tea is my fuel.

I've lived and worked in several different countries, and I love getting to know cultures and languages. I study German and Chinese at DCU in Dublin. I spent last year on exchange in Shanghai. It was quite an experience! Now I'm home for my final year and ready to host again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the couchsurfing spirit of exchange, open-mindedness and connection. I love to share a bit of my world and have the chance to see someone else's.

I find it can be a bit daunting to travel alone as a young woman. I really like to host solo female travelers and give them a safe and welcoming place to stay. I truly appreciate finding hosts who can do the same for me :)

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fell off a bike while traveling solo in Thailand - I broke my teeth, spent 10 days recovering, and then moved on to Malaysia!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn and share bits of languages. And I do some circus stuff, if you're into that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and chatter. I've ended up experiencing some weird things over the last few years, and I love hearing odd tales from other people!

Although I try, I'm not the greatest at small talk... I prefer big talks. I've had some fascinating conversations with my lovely CS guests and hosts.
