I just moved to Ireland and Galway Region- so I am exploring it myself...do not expect a Tourguide 😉😂

Oughterad is small has a nice lake and some food places and a small Tesco...It is more for nature lovers than Nightlife people...
There is a bus to Galway- 419 and 923.
I work at a remote Research Place at Carna- so I am not very often in Galway...😉

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know more people mainly through hosting and sharing with them interests, fun, food and laughs...
If you can not travel the world permanently, the world and its beautiful people might meet you on your couch...😉

The last couple years I learnt a lot about myself through hosting, while I travelled mainly for (epic 😊) short trips.

I love my work as a Biologist- farming and breeding aquatic animals. I always identify myself with my work, as it plays an important part in my life- science and exploring is a big part of my "program"...🔥
The rest of the time- hopefully a big part of my future ☺️ - will be more travelling and getting to know new cultures, alternative ways of thinking, trying new things and meet people...😊

Personal growth in any form is for me an urgency, that will continue on all paths of my trip...at the moment I am finding out more about our Celtic roots in Europe ...so Ireland is a great place for my spiritual energy as well..😊

Narrow-mindedness is a cage we all fear to face. I follow the approach, that we all either have to break free from some cages that were formed, when we were too young- or in times when we were too weak to avoid them- cages which might be built at a personal stage of exceptional vulnerability...or the cage we stare on right now...again...😂
There are also cages we lock ourselves in from time to time because we get too comfortable to work on ourselves-
CS helps to avoid our mind's pitfall-traps 😉🙂

When I change my surroundings, there has to be an ocean, a river or a lake always close to me- and some low human-impacted nature for hiking- Alone time can heal as well... 😊
But do not forget your rain jacket and high hiking boots for the Western Irish bog...😂

I love the cultural advantages of the City, but for now, I am more of an outdoorsy guy who enjoys an evening at some waterbody, as well as a game of pool in the pub...- if there is a village around 🙂

I love to share pretty much everything, which also improves my life and getting it into balance. I like to have people around me that can agree to similar values😊

ABOUT ME

Taking life (and me!;-)) not too seriously, so that I can fully enjoy its preciousness!😊

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a permanent learning experience, and reflects the beauty of being alive...! Even when some of its facets are sometimes hard to understand- or to accept...! 😂 However, it is mainly about sharing thoughts and fun and a beer in the pub playing some pool😉

See you around...😊🍀

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am just a "normal spiritual Dude" that has a passion for Wildlife (management)- you might not get around a chat about the beauty and importance of nature! 😂

Food; hiking; talking, pub, beach...sight-seeing, if I have off from work...or in the evenings...🙂

I ❤ hiking and outdoors
