**Joined Steemit in August 2016 but have only been active for the last 2-3 months, so I thought I should introduce myself.**

<br>

A bit about myself:

I'm Irish and a Virgo, I was born on the 7th day of the month.

Finished an electrical apprenticeship in 2005, and shortly after my 21st birthday in the same year I left Ireland and spent approximately 15 months working and travelling around Australia. I enjoyed my time in Australia, it is a beautiful country with beautiful people and a beautiful climate.

<br>

Moved to the UAE in 2009 for work, I spent 1 year in Abu Dhabi, and 1 year in Dubai. It was a major culture change for me, and I learned a lot from the multitude of different nationalities living and working there. After spending some time in sunny Australia I was looking forward to more sunshine and beaches, but in the end, the desert heat was too much and I was happy to get home to the Irish climate, consisting of cloud filled skies, and we are never short of a drop of rain! (I actually quite enjoy the Irish climate now ;D ).

I spent a few months in Israel in the summer of 2016, where I got to meet some good people and make some good memories.

<br>

To sum me up: 

I am quite a basic person and I don't like a fuss. Some of my hobbies are: travelling/sightseeing, reading, walking and I used to be into cars a bit. My favourite colour is green, and back in my clubbing days the pink flowery shirt was a regular, that or anything bright and jazzy!

**So that is me, hope I didn't bore yous too much.... :) Feel free to leave comments, and up-vote if you liked my introduction.**
