"FEAR LESS LIVE MORE"

— A.J. Hackett

Until the world pressed pause and I went to continue my lifelong internship. I landed in Ireland 5 years ago working in tech sales, experiencing corporate life to the new extent.

This is where I discovered workations and offsites;

Driftawave is born.

I saw a chance to bring my different worlds and passions all together. In the hope of bringing you more of the earth's life & glory whilst being able to achieve beyond.

Always happy to connect!
