CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and surf...and meet new friends along the way :)

ABOUT ME

I was born in the U.S to an American mom and Irish dad, moved to Ireland and grew up there, moved back to the U.S (Florida) for 10 years to work in the world of marine biology and now I'm back on Irish soil! I love my work and, have had many interesting life experiences so far and plan to have many more in the future. I'm friendly, fun-loving and easy going and love to meet new people and learn about different cultures!

PHILOSOPHY

Here are some of my favorite quotes which are good descriptors of how I try to live my life :)

"Find life experiences and swallow them whole. Travel. Meet many people. Go down some dead ends and dark alleys. Try everything. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life".

"Anybody can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to and makes up his mind to do. We are capable of greater things than we realize."

"Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life"

"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"

"When you stumble in life make it part of your dance"

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"

"Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter"
