About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn french and explore France.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Ireland but moved to London/Paris and now to Toulouse. I like to think that I have learned a lot since leaving Ireland but am always looking to explore and learn from those with plenty to share. I love meeting people from different cultures with different backgrounds from my own.

PHILOSOPHY

To not just survive existence on this planet but to always push myself to explore and share. To live is to thrive.

Interests

I enjoy messing around out doors. Hiking where possible,Chilling in the park with some wine, Cycling through this beautiful city, Sampling the beautiful food and drink that French culture has to offer, Finding the hidden spots of the city, Sitting on the banks of the Garonne at night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When visiting Trento, Italy, I went with a guide into the mountains. There we discovered a small lake about 40-50ft deep. The water was so clear that you could see every rock and fish. My guide said that it was because of the sediment in the local rock. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It is the one place that I must see again before I die.
