CURRENT MISSION

uummm.... I'll get back to you

ABOUT ME

I am Irish, living in Istanbul. Looking for a career change so travelling to the US for a big test! Lets hope it works out. I have worked many jobs - my favourite as an unsucessful musician, but I gave it up for my true life calling, pushing paper.
I am in a long-term relationship and happy with my move to Turkey. I come from a close family who live overseas - I do miss them so.

PHILOSOPHY

Fairly liberal, I worry it is going with age... B ut open to most things, and I truly envy the guts of artists, but I am happy pretentiously bluff my way through
