About Me

CURRENT MISSION

... try to find my own style of life ... and enjoy it!

ABOUT ME

So I was born in Basel, grew up in Aesch and still live there. Both my parents are irish, my Dad's from Dublin and my mum spent most of her life in Basel so she's a half swiss to.My dad is trying ;). I got 2 brothers, younger and older both with a 3 years difference from me.

In my freetime I like to spend time with my dog, with my friends or sometime I enjoy just having a rest and have some lonely time to reflect my life. I like to do all kinds of crazy sports such as parcour,climbing,running and martial arts or I enjoy going to concerts dance and drink. I also join CS meetings. I also got this special gift of have marathon conversations until theres nothing left to explore about the other person.(that means never)There are many things in life I enjoy, in general I just try to enjoy every singel day and make hour for hour the best of it. So I basicly just follow my feelings and try to make the days for people around me a nice time.

Connecting people is something I enjoy very much because on my opinion there is nothing such important as a good friend you can relay on in bad times and to share.

Besides all that I am totaly insane about dogs. ;) I want to know anything about them and people international living with them because I think how people live with them reflects a lot of their culture and way of treating nature and life in gerenal.

My greatest wish in life is to become 4000 years old so I have the time to do everything I would love to do and beleve me: There is a lot!

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on going!

Why not?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grew up with my cousin, with her standing me by in all situations no matter how sad/happy/angry/hopeless/stupid i've ever been and she founded a undistroyable strenght in mine and other human endurance.

Travelled about 100 times between Ireland and Switzerland backwards and forwards, trying to devide my life up between both countries/cultures/languages in my childhood till now. Trying to understand my identity as a double passportholder and called a foreigner but family in both.

Fell in love in Switzerland, right before leaving for Ireland, ready to settle and all flights booked. Ended up returning again and moving together with him and my family.... My love's name is Philipp.

Played theater on an professional stage for many years of my childhood and youth leading me to my passion of playwriting.

Spending a week in turkey with great people having the best time of my life!
