I am a curious explorer of life and the world. Enjoy meeting new people, exploring new places and sharing interests (see those below).
I can Host for up to 2 nights, as I have a large and comfortable one bedroom apartment with a sofa in the living room.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel alone so I am interested in meeting others. Also, lodging can get quite expensive - particularly in Ireland, which is a country I am interested in eventually moving to. It would be nice to combine both interests and explore couch surfing.
