He also has a shortlist of countries he wants to visit during his lifetime.
1 Italy
I love everything Italian. The food, the music, the way the Italians move their bodies when they express themselves. The passion they have for life, love and their amazing culture.2 India
There is a mystery about the Indian culture that I have always found fascinating. From their deep faith to the crazy stories of Ancient Gods fighting on flying carpets.3 Greece
I love the history and culture of the Greeks. All those great thinkers that inspired the modern world as we know it. I have dreamt about the beeches with crystal water and the food is amazing.4 Nepal
The Nepalese people are amazing. They are full of the good things of humanity and yet, they always seem humble. I love their deep faith and respect they have for their family and the Earth.5 Egypt
I will not rest until I get to experience this amazing magical place. I'm fascinated by the Pyramids and Egyptology. No other culture have so many unexplained but beautiful mysteries. If I wasn't a musician I'd move there to become an archeologist.Ciaran Gribbin plays Dicey Rileys 23 June and Beaches Hotel 2 July. Both shows are in Wollongong.
