About me
About me
I was born here in Dublin where I now live and work after some time spent in both London and the Netherlands. I am a part-time picture editor for a national newspaper and freelance travel writer.
Besides travel I love my food and attending gigs.
Why Dublin?
With some of the best music, food, and of course bars, there is a welcoming buzz to my city to rival any, which is why I love Dublin. The Irish are known throughout the world for being welcoming and I like to think that you will find that wherever you go.
A short drive from both the mountains and the sea I think Dublin offers something special which you won't find in other cities.

Irish Design Shop
Trove of Irish treasures

Dublin Barista School
An education in coffee
"Dublin Barista School" is the perfect example of my theory that, when it comes to coffee, you actually get more if you're paying less...

The Bridge 1859
Not your average sports bar
"The Bridge 1859", owned by four of Ireland's best known rugby players, is probably one of the best places to enjoy a drink if you're in Dublin for a game.

Whitefriar Street Church
Dublin for romantics
"Whitefriar Street Church" in is the home to the relics of Saint Valentine himself. It should be on top of your list if you're planning a romantic visit!

Neon
Dublin's street food
"Neon" in Dublin is as authentic a Thai restaurant as it can get outside of Thailand. A nice little extra is the ice cream cone they bring to your table!

John Fallons
St. Patrick's local
"John Fallons" is one of Dublin's finest little pubs, only feet away from Saint Patrick's cathedral. I like how easy it is to strike up a conversation here
