I was born in Ireland but now live in the US. I live in a small seaside town in Maine. I love to read - at least 1 book per week. I also love to travel, and have been lucky yo visit many countries. I am interested in many different things - ranging from politics to science and from sport to music. I like to listen to many different types of music, from rock to folk and country. Having good friends where we can have good wide ranging discussions really appeals to me. I have got involved in Toastmasters where I have learned to be a decent speaker.
