Description

Hello, I'm Shane from the west coast of Ireland. I've lived in several places around the globe throughout my life including Japan, San Diego, CA and the United Kingdom. These places have all facilitated my passion for travel and experiencing new cultures.

My background is in Mechanical Design having an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering degree and a Masters in Advanced Engineering Design. Therefore my hobbies include DIY and building personal projects at home.

Finally a note to say I'm quite the adventurous person pushing my abilities and skills where possible and therefore a firm believer of when you go outside your comfort zone, that is when the magic happens!
