Cape Town is one of those destinations that you dream about visiting. Being a the tip of South Africa, it adds an elusiveness to the destination and travelling there instantly becomes harder in your mind than it is in reality. In reality, the flights are no more expensive to that of Dubai, Bali or many…Continue Reading “Four Days In Cape Town”
For anyone that knows me, they know that I like to travel around places that are a little less popular or well known. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy large tourist attractions like the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower, but exploring countries in places like Eastern Europe is more exciting for me because…Continue Reading “Roadtrip Around Lake Constance, Switzerland and Bavaria”
I had wanted to visit Switzerland since as long as I can remember, but because the country is notorious for being expensive I put it on the long finger. Finally, an opportunity presented itself where a roadtrip would take me across the border from Germany into Switzerland for two magical nights by Lake Lucerne! The…Continue Reading “Why You Should Visit Lake Lucerne”
Climbing Croagh Patrick is something that I always wanted to do. Croagh Patrick which is nicknamed ‘The Reek’ is a mountain in County Mayo. The mountain is 764m (2,507ft) tall and is the third highest mountain in Mayo after Mweelrea and Nephin (but is undoubtedly the most popular!). Located roughly 8km from Westport, Croagh Patrick…Continue Reading “Climbing Croagh Patrick: The Full Guide”

Before moving to Dublin, I…Continue Reading “Howth Cliff Walk”

It’s really interesting to see how different people enjoy different things when they are away. Personally, I don’t mind venturing somewhere colder…Continue Reading “The Recipe For A Great Holiday”
It’s finally May, and with that brings the beginning of Summer – and the ‘Bikini Body’ phases that will be plastered all over Social Media. Everywhere you look will tell you the different ways that you too can achieve your bikini body and friends who don’t need to lose weight will start to worry about…Continue Reading “Why The ‘Bikini Body’ Concept Is Bullsh*t”
Recently I ticked an activity off my ever growing to-do list and walked the Cuilcagh Legnabrocky Trail in Fermanagh, also known as the Stairway to Heaven. What was meant to be a day trip to do this mountain walk ended up becoming a night away – and little did I know that I was going…Continue Reading “Staying On Lusty Beg Island”
When you hear the words Stairway to Heaven immediately Led Zepplin comes to mind. The Cuilcagh Legnabrocky (say that 3 times fast!) trail in the Cuilcagh Mountains in Fermanagh has also been given the nickname ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and for a very good reason. The Cuilagh Mountains which lay on the border of Cavan and…Continue Reading “The Stairway To Heaven”
There is so much to do in Lisbon it might not occur to you to take a day trip from there. But if you have an extra day to spare, I would highly recommend taking time out to visit the wonder that is Sintra. Sintra is a resort town at a foothill of the Sintra…Continue Reading “A Day In Sintra”
