About Me


Hm, lets see, well - I'm originally from Newcastle - UK but resident in Galway, Ireland on and off for 6 years! As much as I love changing location, I must say I'm pretty taken my current spot, finally feels like home!I'm still partial however, to changing my position on the earth’s surface - as definable by coordinate - for shorter periods of time!Never happier than when I'm taking myself and me trusty camera to those random corners of the world not often seen, or downing Thai Green Curry. I love travelling and have snapped happily away/ travelled to/ backpacked around to Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Turkey, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Hungary, USA, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Mongolia, Russia, India, Bolivia, Peru, South Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland. As well as photography, hobbies also include time travel, portrait art and painting.

My Interests

I really must curb my internet usage. Modern technology huh! The younger generation have never known life before the Internet, I'm feeling old before my time with rants on remembering when my telly was black and white. Sad... seriously though, I am both saddened and sickened by my technological dependancy. Library? No thanks - I've got Google. Wouldn't even like to think about life without my mobile - I stand up and admit my addictions......Oh, one more thing - I've a calendar at http://www.lulu.com/content/1272415 on the off chance anyone is interested - ha!

I'd like to meet:

(Random) David Attenborough, Annie Lennox, Marilyn Manson (An awe inspiring and astonishingly intelligent bloke given half the chance...), Brian Molko, John Prescott (I have a weird crush on him - yeah I know!), Amelia Earhart, Charles Darwin, Tim Curry, Richard O Brien, Richard E Grant, Rik Mayal, Benico Del Toro (Surely it's not only me who thinks he looks like a Latin, abit rough around the edges Brad Pitt?) Trent Reznor (Genius), Jared Leto, Nick Cave, Pete Burns (you gotta respect a guy like that), Gary Numan, Simon Amstell (wittiest man alive) and basically just some great People via myspace, not looking for love, relationships, nor am I using this as a 'dating site' blah blah - happily single! So no, I'm not interested in your height and eye colour- ha!) Just wouldn't mind chatting to like minded souls with the same interests as myself. I'm the tiniest bit mental but relatively normal considering the society that spawned me... Sane beings only please, anyone that can cope with the complexities of life, is fine by me.....! By the way, PLEASE DON'T ADD ME if you are a band site. Nor do I want to be added to a sad lunatics' site with a 'popular me', I have thousands of friends' kinda site. Happy to talk to anyone but perverts and please mail me first (non generic), as I would rather have a mail off someone genuine and interesting - not just be added for the sake of it.... What's the point - seriously? Otherwise friend requests will be denied anyway. Does anyone even read people pages before clicking add to friends? Jeez, do I now sound like a bad person? Hmmm, - sorry about that.... I ain't - honest.......
