CURRENT MISSION

Just a chillin' and a frying some beans

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as an honest, sincere, friendly, humorous, Irish guy. I did not live in Ireland for many years, instead spending most of that time teaching ESL and drama; life-long-learning and traveling mainly around China, Hong Kong and many other interesting places in South East Asia, Australia and the USA..... In fact being away for so long wasn't part of my original plan and I only eventually returned home in 2010 where my boots have been hanging up since.... Before living in Asia I spent many years in Galway, West of Ireland, working as a World Music DJ, live music promoter and restaurant/wine bar manager among other occupations but I am now living back in Dublin, the city of my birth, finally laying down some roots again from my worn out funky soles, hopefully to be surrounded by some positive and well intentioned souls. I am qualified in various forms of Holistic Therapies and self-employed. Time is the most valuable thing to me along with my health. I already have accomplished a lot in my life, but still saying that, there seems a lot left to fulfill. Life is too short even if I live to be one hundred. Mutual respect is something I rate very high from every living thing, oh and yes, music fills my veins, brain, and soul.
Please note, that I can only host ONE person due to limited space.

PHILOSOPHY

Buddhism, Taoism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen- going to visit my friends family in the countryside deep in the heart of Cuba ...after taking a bus, 2 rides on a back of a truck, lots of hitching, a motorbike and finally a horse drawn carriage we arrived Cuban style with the aroma of coffee and cigars. Woke up the next morning by sound of 7/8 cute piglets running around the end of the bed. Looked out the window to see a sugar plantation as far as the eye could see....
Done- Worked for Hope Project in Mainland China, providing education to children of poor and developing areas.
