About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, Create, Perform, Experience, Learn!

ABOUT ME

I'm working for a medical device company in Galway and I love it! However... I have travelling and growing to do! So over the next year or so I will be saving and planning for a major trip across Europe. My trusty best friend David Owens (See David Owens for details) and I will be juggling and playing music in a city near you for bread, money or whatever we can get! :D When/if our adventure comes to an end, hen it will be time to once again become a working engineer with financial stability. (but just for a little while..) :P

PHILOSOPHY

Dont pigeon hole yourself with personal philosophies...
Keep an open mind!
Enjoy!
