ABOUT ME

Hey :) My name is Mairead and I'm chill and laid back. I try to live in the moment as much as possible and I don't really like making plans. Just go with the flow.

I'm just back from Spain where I spent nearly 2 years teaching English. Now I'm learning Italian as I plan to move to Italy bella in the future.

I am passionate about music. I could literally spend all day playing and listening to music. Music is the language of the soul. I play the flute, tin whistle, piano, concertina and I´m learning how to play the guitar at the moment aswell! 'When the music hits you feel no pain'

Also i like meeting new people and learning about other cultures as I find it very interesting. Well hopefully we will get to meet in the future as I plan to travel the world :)

I don't believe in labels; gay, straight, black, white, poor, rich, etc we all come from the same place and we are all the same but yet unique at the same time. This is one of the many paradoxes of life. I hope some day we can live as one :)

PHILOSOPHY
Tengo todo pero no tengo nada
Live in the present, it´s the only thing that´s certain.
Live and Let live.
Do unto others as you would like them do to you.
You only live once, so live it up.
Laughter is the best medicine.
Share your knowledge, It's a way to achieve immortality.
Learn the rules, So that you know how to break them properly!!
