Me in 3: Reliable | Friendly | Adventurous

Favourite Place to Play: Connemara’s Twelve Bens Mountain Range – especially Benbaun mountain. A great place to take some friends out on a hike.

Not a lot of people know this about me… I worked as a film and TV extra to earn money in college. I appeared in Irish television shows such as Fair City and Love/Hate along with larger productions such as Titanic – Blod and Steel mini-series.

Mini Bio:  Originally from Co. Monaghan, I studied creative digital media at the Dublin Institute of Technology. After graduating, I decided to buy a bicycle and see how far I could cycle. This ended up being a 44,000 km biking journey over the duration of 4 years visiting 35 countries on five continents.

This epic biking trip brought me into contact with many different people and places, and I was always moved by the hospitality and generosity I experienced. After returning from my travels, I’ve moved over to the west coast to live in the colourful and bustling city of Galway. This gives me the opportunity to explore the local mountains of Connemara and beyond, as well as appreciating Irish culture. Ireland has so much to offer and I look forward to sharing this beautiful country with you!
