My name is Patrick and I’m from Ireland but have been living in China for the past 5 years teaching adventure sports and learning the language and learning as many skills as I can in the meantime. I am passionate about everything that I do and I love travelling and sharing my experiences, I have recently finished a camino walk, though I only went from Irun to Santander, I had an amazing time. I am in Barcelona now and hope to meet people who can tell me something about here or share time together exploring the place.

Musica, film e libri
I am into anything regarding music and can range from old rock to classical music to electric, recently I’ve just been exploring music and leaving YouTube find things for me and I have discovered the following Andrew apple pie “Jimmi” Broken bells “No matter what you’re told” The dead south “In hell I’ll be in good company” Vance joy “Riptide” Kongos “Hey I don’t know” Kongos “Come with me now” Just to name a few anyway. Books I love books, horror books “James Patterson” sci-fi or fiction such as Alien or Game Of Thrones, never read harry potter but I read similar things like Eragon and yeah I went through The Hobit and LOTR ;) and I love anything by Douglas Adams. Movies would be tricky I’m ok with some marvel movies not I prefer movies that make you feel and think and even indie movies like “once and sing street”, there are others like gifted that I like and yeah some action movies are welcome too, but I’m nostalgic and like rewatching old 1980+ movies such as terminator and robotic or other cliche movies.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Travelled to China to learn kung fu for a few years and learn Chinese so that I could go back to Ireland and become a teacher.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
