About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to finish traveling through Vietnam, work in Hong Kong for a bit and then make my way home we're I plan to travel much less because although I love it and learn so much from it the world doesn't need me zooming around leaving a trail of jet fuel and carbon behind. The more I travel the more plastic and pollution I see and it's so hard to live a zero waste lifestyle on the move so I'm going to stay in one place and do what I can to help keep this amazing world looking amazing and not like a dump. This is a big sacrifice because I love to travel but we need to make sacrifices before our greed stamps out all the beautiful that still survives.

Once I'm home I plan to make wooden alternatives to plastic products and educate people on how to live sustainable lives. I will still host travelers because I love to meet people from around the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm 24, I'm a mountain leader, I studied Prop Design. I love everything outdoors and I want to preserve the beauty of nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Plastic is killing the planet, once you start noticing it you realize just how much of it we use and it will all end up in land fill or in the sea (even it has been recycled a few times) I try to uses as little as possible help others do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed every mountain in Ireland (278 peaks), It took 2 years and I'm the youngest person to have done it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling and meeting new people is the best way to learn ... I sometimes think formal education is a waste of time (I doubt I'll think that when I actually need to find a proper job)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll share a pint and some good stories ... maybe 2 or 3 pints, sure we'll see how the night plays out! I also make a meeeaaan pancake!
