Mini Bio

I’m originally from the back roads of Donegal, where I gained my love for the great outdoors and wild landscapes. I loved exploring the hidden gems across Donegal, which gave me a deep appreciation for nature and a sense of adventure that has stayed with me ever since. Then, after beginning a four-year degree in Tourism and Event Management, I made the move to Sligo and ended up staying.

Over time, I really fell in love with the people, the culture and the incredible landscapes that make this place so special. In my spare time, I’m always up for trying something new. I’m not one for wasting my day in bed!

Favourite Place to Play

Sliabh Liag is my absolute favourite place ever. I have family in the area, and throughout my childhood, I’ve spent months at a time there, exploring the wild, rugged bogland.

I would definitely recommend Sliabh Liag if you’re brave enough to take on the narrow ‘One Man’s Pass’ at the top, or even if you’d rather relax with good conversation by the fire in a traditional pub at the base. It’s a place that truly has something for everyone.
