Kaitlin 

​I am Irish Canadian, and delighted to have the opportunity to live in Dublin for a year plus while working on my Masters in Applied Spirituality. I have returned in recent years from Canada to live permanently in Ireland. My passions are reading, meditating, knitting, and hill walking. I love outings & good conversation.. I love pets, and dog walking. Isolation for many can be very painful. During Covid I had the opportunity to live for a year, in West Cork with a beautiful lady as her companion. This experience enriched my life immensely. We became very good friends.
