Hello! My name is Aisling. I'm from Cork, Ireland. I've spent the past 5 years working in Dublin, most recently for a non-profit Social Impact and Sustainability organisation. I haven't used this site in years but I'm spending 4 months travelling South East Asia and New Zealand at the end of this year so I thought I would reactivate it! I'm really looking forward to travelling. My main interests/reasons for travelling are to take a break from work to experiencing different cultures, food, people and spend more time in nature! Sometimes I can be shy/reserved at first, but it usually doesn't take me long to come out of my shell.

PHILOSOPHY
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
