Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am on a mission, together with my fiancé, to discover all that New Zealand has to offer.
ABOUT ME
I am an outdoors and sporty kind of person, spending as much of my free time as I can in nature, whether trail-running or hiking. I enjoy travelling and discovering new places, languages and cultures. Being an Irishman but having grown up in Luxembourg, a country where almost half the population is foreign, I feel at home anywhere. To date, I have worked, studied and lived in a total of 7 countries.
PHILOSOPHY
Always have an open mind and a sense of humour.
