Favourite book(s)

"Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty and sadness, were it otherwise he would never have been able to have found those words. (Rainier Maria Rilke: Letters to a Young Poet).

Favourite music

I'm origianally from a small Fishing town where I was born and raised on Irish Folk Music and old sea shanty's. These days my "shower" songs tend to be from Musicals: Les Miserable, RENT, Phantom etc...!

How would you summarise your lifestyle?

I'm an unusual mix of geek and rock star. I love to travel, watch documentaries, go to the theatre, ballet and classical concerts. I love investigating the paranormal and going on ghost hunts, writing theology and studying psychology. I love culture, the arts, going to galleries, photography exhibitions and updating web-spaces. But due to my work history, I also live my more public life like I'm in a movie. I shop at Harvey Nics, love Dolce & Gabbana, drink champagne, I was used in a case study for a book recently because I enjoy male-grooming - I'm an original Metrosexual, I love fine furnishings, day-dreaming of expensive mansions and walk-in-wardrobes. However I do keep myself in perspective and don't lose sight on those important things that make me, me! I'm a true romantic and gentleman and value bohemia, love and beauty above all things. I am passionate about so many aspects of life and I want to achieve so many of my dreams. But most of all my lifestyle tries to seek out adventure and stories. Stories that I look forward to telling my children and grandchildren. And I hope Shipwrecked can be one of them.

Why do you want to be on Shipwrecked?

Following on from above, another prime reason that I want to be on Shipwrecked is to make close friends. Unfortunately since University my work has taken me around the world, and I've always been on the move. I've never stayed in one place more than a year and this is why I knicknamed myself "The Littlest Hobo." I've found that it is hard to have a close circle of friends when you are forever on the move, and although you can keep in touch via emails and phone calls - it is never the same has having a best friend at your side every day of the week. I've never had that with anyone, and I hope this experience will help me find " a best man for my wedding" or " just someone I can call to share memories of a great experience with over the phone." That is probably my most honest and secret reason for applying to Shipwrecked!
