Hey everyone! So, the holidays are almost done which begs the question, what will I focus on for the next year? Making some new connections of course!

I'm originally from Ireland but have lived in multiple countries over the last few years and am now settled in the DC area. Yes, I still have the accent. No, I am not always drunk. Yes, I can make soda bread. No, I've never caught a leprechaun. Yes, I love potatoes. No, I don't know your friend/cousin Liam. Yes, I have heard of the town where your ancestors are from.

I moved to the States about 5 years ago and am very settled here but it is very much the place I live as opposed to home. I'm a pretty active person - I hike and cycle a lot. I like to travel and have been to more countries than I can count, both for work and pleasure. At the same time, I enjoy taking the time to watch TV and movies, I am always reading a book or two. Ultimately, I just try to be mindful of my time and put thought into whatever it is I am doing. I think time is a non-renewable resource so I do my best not to waste it.

I work in climate change, so I am either perpetuating a hoax or helping save the world. Recently I've been a big fan of long walks...between the couch and fridge. I really enjoy running...out for pizza. Even pre-pandemic, I enjoyed cooking and baking. I'm also a big reader and always have a book or two on the go.

No expectations of what may come from this post. Ultimately, I would just like to build a connection. Maybe that means texting and calling, maybe it means going for brunch or maybe it means listening to my accent and then enthusiastically making out. But please do reach out if any of this has piqued your interest, regardless of where you may be from.
