CURRENT MISSION

try to squeeze in as much fun and travels as possible before its too late and I become lazy and boring

ABOUT ME

I like foreign countries better than home, I like cats better than dogs, I like games better than sport and I like surprises best of all.

PHILOSOPHY

stuff like this should not really be called philosophy, mr. Kant and mr. Nietzsche would not be impressed.

Instead, lets call it `stuff i often think`
- i often think that a good objective in life is to try to understand, experience and enjoy as wide a range of things as possible (it could be people/art/food, anything). This is whats meant by being open minded I suppose, but without pretending to yourself that you have to like everything/everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

nothing that would really impress anybody - but lots of little things that were amazing for me

Teach, Learn, Share

I dont think I know what I want to learn or teach- i have to meet the other person first. I suppose I can teach some recipes, music, explain Irish history (I'm not an expert but I'm used to answering questions about it).
