Born in the 1970s and now rooted in the picturesque village of Omeath, Ireland, I spend my days growing food and exploring the rich tapestry of local life. My loyal dog, Milis, is always by my side—whether we’re out walking the scenic trails or relaxing at home. When I’m not tending to the garden or at the gym, you’ll find me savoring good coffee, experimenting in the kitchen, or discovering new food scenes.
I have a passion for old cottages and a deep appreciation for history, live music, and the vibrant local culture that surrounds me. The outdoors is my playground, and I never tire of long walks or sharing a glass of wine with friends. One day, I hope to cross Japan off my bucket list and immerse myself in its unique blend of tradition and innovation. Until then, I’m content enjoying the simple pleasures and adventures that life in Omeath has to offer.
Centrally located between two capital cities, you’re just an hour from both Dublin and Belfast—ideal for day trips or onward travel. Whether you’re drawn by history, nature, or simply seeking a peaceful escape with a story to tell, this mountain haven offers an unforgettable stay steeped in tradition, beauty, and Irish charm.
