ABOUT ME

**Overdue an update here 😂***

Im a friendly easygoing guy who loves to travel, have a laugh and meet new people. I have travelled quite a bit and lived in some cool places. Currently I run an online eBay store in Ireland which allows me to travel a lot. So far I have Travelled all over Europe, South East Asia and parts of the U.S. and Canada. I lived in New York, Berlin, and all over Ireland. I have just had my biggest travel experience, unplanned and totally spontaneous. What initially started as a 3 month trip in New York turned into a 1 year leap from place to place. From living in New York i back packed to Boston, Burlington, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago. Flew to Hong Kong, Hanoi in Vietnam and travelled all the way down the coast to Ho Chi Minh City. I got a boat up the Mekong into Cambodia where I stopped in Siem Riep. Lazed on Koh Rong and was mesmerised by Siem Riep. Into Thailand next and down south to Koh Phangan, Krabi and then to Georgetown, Penang in Malaysia. Some time was spent in Bangkok before heading Myanmar. I flew back into Thailand to visit Chiang Mai and Pai up north. Took the slow boat down the Mekong into Luang Prabang in Laos. Tubed in Vang Vieng. Visited Vientiane before heaing south to Pakse and 4000 Islands. I went back to North Thailand after that an flew to Shanghai an took the overnight train to Beijing where I visited the great wall! Flew back to Berlin where I got my Techno fix for 2 weeks. It was such an amazing trip and cant wait to get back out again.
