My 20s

I’m that kid from a broken home in a small town who runs away to travel the world, realises you can’t escape your shadow… that there’s more to life than endless partying and unsuccessfuly chasing exotic women in random parts of the world…

Sobers up and starts a journey of self-repair, guiding by various philosophies and teachings he’s picked up across 50+ countries on 4 continents.

…. That’s al I’ve got for now, come back again when I’ve written a proper bio, and I’ll tell you about:

• Sleeping alone in the Sudanese desert, next to 3,000 year old pyramids
• Getting tattoo’d by Buddhist monks
• Hanging out with Sufi mystics
• Nearly dying a bunch of times
• Overcoming addiction
• Dancing on the streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, to commemorate Kim Jong Il’s birthday

Podcasts and Interviews

Across The Desk: Digital Nomads – I was invited onto a popular call-in radio show in Johannesburg to discuss the digital nomad lifestyle and field questions from the public on a wide range of related topics and issues. 

My first year as a freelance ghostwriter, while traveling East Africa – I detail the long, winding road that took me from a small town in Ireland to Kenya (via 40+ countries), and the many personal pitfalls and professional triumphs along the way.

Print & Guest Posts

From East Africa to Bali, meet the Irish digital nomads – I had the pleasure of not just being profiled by the biggest (I think) Irish daily newspaper, but also organising interviews with some friends and acquaintances, in which we discuss the benefits of the digital nomad lifestyle for people in Ireland.
