As the rickety caravan swayed side-by-side and the rain poured down on our roof and into the back of our capsule, we couldn’t help but laugh. With the ocean at our doorstep, a caravan on the edge of the world (or so it felt), was the perfect place to bond. It was a bit bonkers [...]
Greetings! Before we begin this Game of Thrones review, let’s start with the quick and non-TV spoiler review of the tour: We (Úna-Minh and my partner) chose to do the Belfast Winterfell Locations tour with Game of Thrones Tours, costing us £40 each. In brief: yes, it was 100% worth it! As non-drivers, we got [...]
“Take a left, and then another left and then a right and head straight on and keep going on and on and you should see it on your left!” The Belfast accent was so strong that it left me spluttering through my words. Gripping my map and determined not to make some touristy mistake; I [...]

At 5pm the government's megaphone blared out messages of the day. “Propaganda!” our Vietnamese guide mused, as we stared across the rice fields. A spike in the grass, the speaker was hoisted atop dark juts of metal - a stark contrast to the beauty that surrounded it. Mom has always been an adventurer and I [...]
It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since our Wild Atlantic Way journey. You probably noticed that I took a bit of a break from blogging to recalibrate (the irony being that my idea of recalibrating was to dive head first into other projects).

"Stats are handy to have when reporting to the client, but aren’t the be all, end all" Ever wonder what a PR looks for when they plan on reaching out to bloggers? Wonder how should you approach them? Over the years I've been lucky enough to get to know a variety of PR people who [...]
