Hello, I’m Colm. I am just about to finish my bachelors in pharmaceutical sciences at the university of Basel. I’m from Ireland originally but have lived here for 12 years and as you can maybe tell from my studies, Basel has quite a place in my heart! As much as I like the city, I also like leaving it.
I’m hoping that my new-found freedom will allow me to meet new people in new places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked as a cook under a Japanese chef in Holland for a year. He would murder me if I showed anyone his recipes though.
