Work
I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
I'm consoled by the words of Stephen Fry, paraphrasing Oscar Wilde:
"If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it. That is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be... if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know, you will never become anything. And that is your reward."
What I'm up to...
I'm currently working with Med'Equali, an NGO working in northern Greece that provides free health care to people on the move, including refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people.
While I help out with some communications and logistical support, it's been fun to work alongside my fiancé, Grace, who is Medical Coordinator.
Before that...
Prior to arriving in Greece, we spent 3 glorious months living and working in Murphy's Bar, in the village of Brandon, County Kerry, Ireland.
In my completely biased opinion, it's the greatest pub in the world.
Career-y things...
Before all this, I spent the prior 5+ years making ads.
Here are some of the campaigns I've worked on...
