I love to travel, I guess for me its an escape from the hum-drum of everyday life. I get a sesne of freedom from tossing off the shackles of work and responsiblity and just "being"....if for only a time. There is something so exciting about exploring the unfamiliar, it makes you feel truly alive. It shows you how big and small this world can be at the same time.

I am always up for an impromtu road trip or a big planned out vacation. I like it all! I started snowboarding last winter and white water rafting/kayaking this year and I'm always planning vacations around those activties.

I am really into the travel photography and trying to capture a sense of place in a great photograph. I have won awards and art contests for a few of my travel photographs of Ireland.

My dream job would be a Travel Photographer or I'd also like Sam Brown's job on the Travel Channel. The Travel Channel is my bible...well that and Cosmo!

I really love Ireland, I have roots there and its "home" to me.
