My name is Cormac and I'm a 29 year old English teacher and freelance writer from Ireland. I'm currently studying a Masters degree in Journalism and Media Communications in Griffith College Dublin. For the last 7 years I have been an English language teacher and from 2014 to 2020 I lived in Spain while working in language academies teaching adults English. I enjoy writing about my interests which include music, language learning, health and fitness and comedy while also expressing my thoughts on more universal themes such as society, current affairs, popular culture, politics and the human experience.
