CURRENT MISSION

If God gives you lemons, make lemonade.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old guy from the Irish countryside, a few miles from Kilkenny (the town, not the beer!!).

I'm an easy-going and very optimistic person and love learning about other cultures.

Languages are my passion! I studied German and Linguistics at Trinity College in Dublin and loved it! Specifically I studied the relation between language and thought and how language and culture continually influence one another. Wacky stuff, but these are the things that keep me awake at night ;)

Now I'm working as a German & French -> English translator in Cork.

I also spent a year in beautiful Tübingen in Germany on the Erasmus exchange programme, which was the greatest year ever! :)

I love the German way of life, the weather, the people, the cities, the hills and forests, the beer... but not the sauerkraut!!

PHILOSOPHY

Morgen, morgen, nur nicht heute, sagen alle faulen Leute!
