About Me

shoki
After obtaining a degree in Ancient History and Archaeology and also studying History of Art and Architecture, I qualified as a solicitor and worked in Dublin until April 2007. Thereafter, I had numerous little adventures, and finally in June 2009 I started to work again in Dublin. While my wings have been clipped somewhat, I still manage to escape, travel, taste and explore places of interest.
