Souvenirs don't always have to be tangible. They don't always have to last forever. And they definitely don't have to cost you money. Your memories can be souvenirs. The pictures you took can be souvenirs. They're some of my favorites. I don't go shopping too often when I travel so often I don't come home … Continue reading Getting Tattoos Abroad
Lessons Learned While Haggling
One of the facts about Israel I was surprised to hear was that it was very expensive and not the best place to go for budget travellers or backpackers. I never imagine Israel being overly cheap since it is not a poor country, but I didn't expect people to believe it was expensive either. So … Continue reading Lessons Learned While Haggling
Ring Around the Isle
After flying to Ireland for about a year and some change, I have finally done a road trip around the Ring of Kerry! It was always high on my bucket list for things to do in Ireland and I finally had a good crew to do the trip with. Now if you take a tour … Continue reading Ring Around the Isle
One Person’s Trip from Hell Could Be Your Adventure
We've all read them before. Posts or YouTube videos or word of mouth story where someone talks about the trip from hell they had to endure because...things didn't go to plan. That's it. They didn't get kidnapped by the cartel or the mafia, they weren't robbed of all their possessions, they didn't survive a plane … Continue reading One Person’s Trip from Hell Could Be Your Adventure
Mt. Ulriken
I always get distracted when I walk around. Even if it's somewhere I've been before, like Bergen in this case. It didn't help that the two crew members I was also with were equally as distracted by everything. We had a mission to get to Ulriken, one of the mountains surrounding Bergen, and it took … Continue reading Mt. Ulriken
Breaking the Bank in Iceland
WARNING: There are pictures of penises in this post! I repeat, if you don't want to see that, don't read to the end (I will give another warning before that part if you want to read until there). One more time, PENIS ALERT! I know I've mentioned a few times before how whenever I go … Continue reading Breaking the Bank in Iceland
A Weekend of Ships
I spent 3 days in Cork on a layover and decided to venture out to the surrounding areas. Cork is close to many port towns and I decided to start there. Cobh (pronounced 'cove') was the last port of call before the Titanic sank. During this time the city was called Queenstown and has always … Continue reading A Weekend of Ships
Blue Lagoon: Worth It?
In short: yes! Thanks for reading! Kidding. Though if that's all you needed, yes you should definitely go! It's pretty easy to access from the airport and the city center. Most people say that the Blue Lagoon is super touristy and it is but in my opinion, there's a reason things are very touristy and … Continue reading Blue Lagoon: Worth It?
Sushi X
Living in an apartment without a washing machine means laundry becomes an all-day ordeal. Gone are my days in college where I would do laundry when I knew I had a paper to write and it would force me to stay in my dorm room while my jeans rolled around in the basement. If I … Continue reading Sushi X
Limerick Milk Market
I spent another day in Limerick after landing in Cork and taking a two hour taxi. While the taxi was big enough for all the crew, it was not the most comfortable to sleep in, so we expected to pass out correctly once we made it to the hotel. However, once we got out of … Continue reading Limerick Milk Market
