Emigrating from Ireland to Canada as the youngest, constantly moving brought identity concerns. Reading and an adventurous spirit lead to travels outside the author's comfort zone.
Combining contract work with travel (circum-Mediterranean, Mexico) an MSc in London led to Vienna. Life in the Balkans inspired a travelogue / thriller, That Weekend in Albania.
Spanish encounters inspired a relationship-driven mystery: Return to Pamplona set in the Basque region. Thriving in Ukraine (2018-20) Kyiv’s vibrant arts scene encouraged an ongoing
Irish / Canadian memoir before a personal take on Europe's east-west healing divide, years after living on both sides of Europe. The author remaina a frequent and observant traveler.
