I am an American who moved to Italy in 2007 after accepting a job offer in the IT field. My Italian sweetheart became my husband in 2010. Together we have traveled to various parts of Europe, Tanzania, Egypt, and the United States. He accepted a job in Ireland in Sept. 2010 and now we are living in Cork!
Hubby and I both love the mission of Couchsurfing.org and regularly meet with fellow CS-ers, hosting as we can, and participating in many local events. Very much liking Ireland now and will stay for a while, but am always dreaming of the next big adventure!
Let me know if you make it to Cork!
