CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people visiting my town

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer back living in the town where I grew up. I've travelled in Europe and Asia and would love to travel more - but have no fixed plans for the time being.
So, while I'm here, I'd like to meet others who are currently pursuing their travel plans.
I like reading, writing, travelling, meeting people, cooking and eating nice food, going to restaurants, listening to music...

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind. Learn from others. The world and the people in it are much more varied than you could ever imagine and yet they share so much in common

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent some time in Varanassi in India - a truly beautiful and spiritual place

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some visitors to Ireland a few words of Irish. Or if they are moving on to France, I could teach them some French...
I'll think of more.
