I am Irish. I was born, raised and educated in Ireland 🇮🇪 home for me is Ireland. I currently live in London , UK. I previously lived in Florence, Italy and Sydney and Perth in Australia .

I am human, hence I speak and act to end the genocide in Gaza 🇮🇪 🫶🏻🇵🇸

The settlers that arrived in Ireland, around 7,600 BC, belonged to an ocean migration of people with Rh-negative blood types, genetically identical to the Amazigh of North Africa and Basques of Europe.

I love the board game chess … so happy when someone wants to play with me.

I have good sense of adventure and happy humour. I am social, open minded, positive, hard working person always up for a laugh and an adventure.

I grew up in the countryside on my ancestors farm. I have deep love and respect nature. I am at home, in awe when surrounded by nature. My favourite things to do when I visit my family in Ireland is to wander the land admiring the flora and fauna. Swim in the sea. Visit historical sites and traditional handcraft workshops. Stand under the blanket of stars.

I teach art and design in secondary school. I inspire others to take time to appreciate art, develop technical skills and understand the value of art in history.

I am learning Palestinian 🇵🇸 Dabke Dance. I am reading about Amazigh art and history. I am learning French.

I have a deep love for history both Irish and world. My books are mostly history, art and poetry .

I travel with my family or friends or just me. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford accommodation. I love meeting new people. I want to learn about other people’s cultures, art, history, dance etc. I want to share adventures together:) I am not interested in romance. I am here to exchange culture and enjoy making new friends.

I am happy to be your CS companion. I love to travel. I am equally content alone with a book as I am to stay out dancing until sunrise… depending on the environment.
