The One About Traveling Alone – The Cons


This Ireland-England-Spain before I'm 30 Trip o'Dreams has made me think a lot about traveling in general, and me traveling specifically. One of the things I've loved most about traveling has been meeting people and figuring out things about yourself,... Continue Reading →

Slainte! Days 1-3 of Ireland Travel


Day two...or is it three? Ireland is green, friendly, loud, drunk! I survived my flights here with the help of the hilarious couple next to me, Emma and Artur. They looked about 14 years old, maybe 20, and had met... Continue Reading →
