About me
I've been traveling for a long time, On the way I've had a baby in a strange country with no family around. I swore allegiance to another flag and got another passport, I signed up for the US navy, I joined the police, volunteered in the US, Ireland & Poland. I've buried a best friend and a boyfriend. I've had more disastrous relationships than Liz Taylor; I've survived car wrecks, 3 crash landings on planes, a war in the Middle East, riots in India, and was lost on a boat in Iranian waters and rescued by the coast guard after being found by the US military on their radar. I bought my own boat and I bought and sold my own pub, won a best actress award, wrote and toured with a play, appeared on stage in Ireland and the USA, but most important I've raised an amazing son. Along the way I've been to 140 countries,currently battling cancer but the goal is to see everywhere.

Cancer is colour blind and doesn’t care how much money you have. But the reality is money can buy you the best care, treatment and a quick diagnosis.
