I have 1 spare rooms/play room with a small double bed settee. For short stays people may also sleep on the couch in the front/sitting room or in the office/bedroom. I have bedding & towels, if you have sleeping bags or your own sheets - great! It will cut down on my washing :-)
Please clean sleeping area so it will be ready for the next CSer.

I live in TRAMORE not Waterford city.


TRAMORE, (on facebook)
a summer holiday town 10K outside of Waterford city.

Pictures of Tramore

I live with my daughter and 2 chickens. I don't smoke but don't mind if people smoke outside.

Beach, lakes, fishing, golf, swimming, surfing, canoeing thro' sea arches, nature walks, close to mountains (The Commeragh Mountains & The Magic Road), lakes, woods, the Copper Coast Geopark and Waterford city. On bus route to Waterford, a viking city-oldest in Ireland. http://www.buseireann.ie/, http://www.jjkavanagh.ie/

Traditional Irish Music sessions:

Alfie Hales - Tuesday,
The Ledger Bar - Wednesday,
O'Neill's - Thursday.

When you are here, make yourself at home especially in the kitchen (I don't like cooking). There are shops (Tescos+Lidl+Supervalu) 5 mins walk away. You are welcome to buy/bring your own food or share whatever I have. No gifts required, but I do like vodka so if you can get some duty-free I'll re-reimburse you. The odd housekeeping job is very appreciated but not required, I don't like housework either :-D

If you'd like to meet up with other couchsurfers you are welcome to invite them here. Join the Waterford Group and say hello :-)
I expect that your purpose is to explore the area and meet people, therefore you will not hang around the house all day.
If I have time I can chat and show you around but when I'm busy we will probably only meet at around meal times which is usually between 6 and 8. My daughter and I often eat at different times depending on our schedules so there maybe no "meal time".


CS Dublin has created a CouchSurfing Zone at the Elegance Bar - for random meetings with other CSers and CS gatherings.
The
CS Zone Dublin
also contains really useful information about great places to eat, drink and things to do etc when you visit!

Personal Description

Hi, I was born in London and my family moved to Cork when I was 2. My one daughter (DOB 14/11/96) was born in Cork and we moved to Tramore, Waterford when she was 2. After working full-time before my daughter then part-time odd jobs afterwards I decided to go to college as a mature student. After juggling parenthood and college for 7 years I decided to take some time out and have fun couchsurfing - mostly hosting. 2yrs later - I'm now back working and am very busy with it, I need to earn more so I can go couchsurfing myself :)

How I Participate in CS

I have hosted, surfed, attended and organized events. Created groups, emailed random people telling them of groups they maybe interested in. I meet CSers wherever I go to help members to be active and connect with people. I hope to help make the world a better place by introducing more people to couchsurfing where they can make great friendships and travel more at low cost.

To meet up or get advice from couchsurfers in the area join the Waterford Group

CouchSurfing Experience

I have met some very interesting people: all friendly, positive and enthusiastic about life.

Interests

Family, friends, animals, a greener planet/living and lifelong learning. I love music and wandering off the beaten track. I like social networking, online and in real life. I used to walk in woods, fields, beaches etc. when my dogs were here ... trying to fill the void since :-)

Philosophy

Hmmmm .... work in progress

Music, Movies, Books

I sometimes read and watch movies etc. but rarely remember the names of Author or the books - no disrespect to the Authors :-) I love all music except maybe heavy rock (depends on where you are when listening to it.)

Types of People I enjoy

Most people :-)
Open, respectful, honest people with their own opinions that are open to the possibility that they like me may not always be right.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything I can....

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Had my daughter :-)

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Brilliant!! Jumped in with 2 feet and now wake up with different people in my house nearly every day. I would like to promote it more for the minorities: families and people over 30's.....but all ages welcome :-)

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

It was truly an Irish experience staying at Karen's place. She seems to know the whole town & even have her friend show me the sights when she's too busy herself. On top of that she had me do a radio talk show. But cooking for & meeting her friends was another pretty fun thing to do.

Karen is a very nice person, relaxed and positive. Me and my friends stayed at her place for 3 days, she was our first host ever, so thanks to her we have a positive attitude towards the idea of couchserving. We felt very comfortable at her house. She also took us out to an irish pub which was a great experience. in 2 words - great host!

Karen was my first host on CouchSurfing and she was simply great! She made us feel very welcome at her house and took us to a traditional Irish pub which was an amazing experience. Thanks so much for sharing some insider sightseeing tips and opening your house for some Polish couchsurfers.

Karen is an active and committed couchsurfing host, as will be evident from her profile. She is a very giving person with an inspiring amount of trust and time for people.

Thanks for sharing your space with me Karen, and for lending me your bike, which was very helpful.

Karen's friend Shaun also took the time to drive me into town for a trad music session (very good) and wouldn't let me buy a drink all night! Thanks Shaun :)

Big thanks Karen for hosting me! Karen's place is spacious and kitchen is good for cooking and hanging out. It was also good when there were other surfers around and we could hang out together. I enjoyed having dinner with Karen, her friends, and Shiv. Me and Shiv probably weren't the best chefs but still we had eatable food. Karen was organizing a pillowfight in Tramore and it was great fun even though children were vicious.
