ABOUT ME

Originally from Ireland but living in Toronto for the past 6 years. I have been working my ass off for years but recently left my job to recalibrate and decide what I want to do next (hint: this involves drinking beer in Portland). I'm a bonafide cat lady, crafter, bike rider, nature lover, meditator, comedienne and circus juggler!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the kumbh mela in India, its a HUGE religious festival (the biggest in the world I think). So many amazing sights, naked holy men, beautiful saris, incense, painted cows, singing, drumming, celebrating, madness! Swimming in the Ganga under the moonlight with thousands of floating candles.. its something I'll never forget
