About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi well I'm an easy-going guy who studies history so if anyone wanted a tour of dublin or even just for me to point out the sights I would be happy to oblige, as for me traveling I have always been interested in history and other cultures and am happy to accommodate happy, easy-going people

Interests

My love of different styles of music from Metal to Classical, and from Reggae to Jazz and beyond it allows me to almost imagine that I'm in a street in Havana or in Arabia, that and reading bore my love for travel
My love of history has allowed me to gain an interesting perspective on my own nation's and world history in general and it gives me a great feeling to show people around like a tour guide

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a massive fan of all types of music from reggae to metal basically anything that isn't manafactured
As for books I like reading both fiction and non-fiction, basically I'll read anything I can get ym hands on :p
As for movies, at the moment Invictus is one of my favourites as I watched it again today but that will change.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing,climbing and contemplating the Great Wall of China and the extraordinary lengths employed to build it
I was part of my college's Gaelic football team that won the league and the cup in 2012, it was the feeling of camaraderie was one of the best I've ever felt

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to expand my knowledge of languages which is abysmal at the moment unfortunetly for me :P
I can also give guided tours of both Dublin's medieval and more modern history
I can also give people elementary Irish lessons as I'm fluent.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Monaco, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
