About Me — Nanie Hurley

I may be shy and introverted, but my passion for veganism and books and my love of learning shine bright through my writing. Or so I hope.

Hi! That’s an impromptu photo of myself. Not something you’re likely to see much online these days. No good lightning, no makeup, no filters. This is just me in my office (which doubles as a crafts room). | Photo by the author.

Hi, I’m Nanie Hurley. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

As my short bio says. I’m a “bookworm, gamer, mom, copywriter, vegan, and human. I write about things that bring me joy.”

As a copywriter, something inside me really wants to write this About Me post with YOU in mind. Telling you all you can find here and why you’ll like the articles I have written for you.

But for once, I’ll put on my noise-cancelling earplugs and ignore that voice. This About Me section is all about me.

I found Medium a few months ago, and since then, I have been writing here often. I write about things I like, so that’s usually the books I read, writing itself, veganism and sustainability, and a little about parenting. I’m still trying to find my voice when I write my stories, and I’m having a lot of fun doing so.

I’m a pretty boring person, with a boring life story. I was born in Brazil, and studied in public schools that were good enough. I got into college and graduated. Then, I moved to Ireland, where I live to this day. Here I found my home, I met my husband, and it’s where I’m now raising my two daughters. I’m Brazilian by birth, but my heart is a bit Irish.

I only have two children, but wow… they keep me quite busy. They’re only very young, and I like to treat them as people, so that takes a lot of commitment (and patience too!). It’s worth it, though. I love seeing them grow into two beautiful human beings completely different from myself or my husband. Although, I will admit that it melts my heart to see little bits of us parents in them. Parenting is a wild journey.

As for hobbies, I love reading, gaming, and writing. Reading books has always been one of my greatest passions. So it’s no surprise that I spend a lot of my time reading stories… At one point in my life, I had a huge library with over a thousand books. Nowadays, my library may have as many books, but they’re mostly digital ones. Moving overseas has its prices (yep, it’s more than one, and much more than financial).

I love gaming, but since having kids, I don’t have as much time for it. And I also stopped writing for quite a while, since I need space, quiet, and focus to be able to write anything. But I’m delighted that’s back in my life.

I used to do a lot of crafting. I have a lot of crochet teddies and blankets around my house. I haven’t done much of it in the last few years, but you can still see all my extra yarns on the shelves behind me in my office.

I’m a very compassionate person. Being kind is part of who I am. So it’s no surprise that I ended up becoming vegan. Removing animal-derived products from my life connected my actions to my morals, ultimately making me a happier person.

And I think that’s mostly it.

It’s nice to meet you. Tell me a bit about yourself in the comments below, and let’s grow our Medium communities together.

I write about many things, so it can be hard to find what you’re looking for. The lists below have the main subjects I write about organised in them, so you can find exactly what you want to read.
