About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to view your world and share mine

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... :) I am a student and a musician, and I love to travel and meet new people. I am currently taking a year out from studying Anthropology at NUIM and loving it! I'm a responsible person - most of the time - but I like to get wild now and again!

I love to travel whenever I can afford to (being a student in Ireland doesn't pay well lol), and love it even more when I can't afford to! I love immersing myself in different cultures and finding out how others view the world around them. I love sunrises, new days and new experiences!

I like to share experiences with other people (especially Caroline) and I value people's company highly. I enjoy hearing people's stories and their experiences and views on their world and their lives, and I enjoy being able to show people my world; be it where I grew up (and still call home) or where I live now..
I travel as often as I can; the more I travel though, the more I realize I have yet to see!

I really enjoy music, of all kinds (although I'm a Metal-head at heart) and love going to concerts and recitals (I'm a classical pianist).

I also like my quiet time, chilling out, cups and cups and cups of tea, and love turning over my pillow to find it's cold on the other side! :)

And if you want to know more about me, I'd be happy to fill you in!

PHILOSOPHY

For me, my life is all about discovery.

Interests

Firstly - I love to travel and meet people! I have a great interest in Primatology, and hope someday to visit South America and work with primates. I also love genealogy and have been working on my family history for the past 3 years. I love looking at cultures from within and meeting people from all over the world; hearing about their lives, their experiences and their hopes. I love to swim and cycle and walk and hike. I also try to volunteer as much as I can, wherever I can, especially with animals.. And I always give something a try ( I never so no to trying something I've never tried before - what'd be the point?) :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far in my life, the most amazing experience I have had was visiting Kenya in July 2011. I will always love the people I grew to know and love over there, and I will never forget the experience of getting so close to wild animals, camping in the Masai Mara, working at the orphanage, the night life and the friendliness shown to me by the people I met. And of course: Timo
