Having visited Dubrovnik for one night during interrailing, I have to admit it didn’t much of a lasting impression of me. Having returned to visit friends I have come to realise I just didn’t spend enough time in the town to fully appreciate everything that it has to offer and I ended up really, REALLY…Continue Reading “A Weekend in Dubrovik”

Malta was honestly a place I had never considered visiting until about two years ago when I met someone from the Maltese Tourism Board at an event in Dublin. There, I was given a borchure that did exactly what it was created to do and showed me the country in a whole new light. Ever…Continue Reading “Full Malta Weekend Itinerary”

Having visited Chicago briefly once before for a Summer trip throughout America I knew that it was always somewhere I would like to go back and see. I didn’t actually get to do much in terms of tourist activities the first time around either so when I knew I was going back I was excited…Continue Reading “How To Spend A Week In Chicago”

Climbing Croagh Patrick

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”

How To Spend A Day In Malmo

When I decided to book a trip to Copenhagen recently I couldn’t help but plan a day trip to Malmö to see what Sweden was like. Much like when I visited Tallinn and took a day trip to Helsinki, I wanted to visit another country on this trip also and really feel like I made…Continue Reading “A Day In Malmö”

Recently I was looking for somewhere to have a nice, relaxing weekend break away. I thought, hey, I’ve never been to Denmark so why not travel to Copenhagen?! Flights are quite cheap from Ireland with Ryanair and the flight time is roughly two and a half hours – the only thing holding me back until…Continue Reading “A Weekend In Copenhagen”

Washington D.C isn’t really somewhere I ever thought about visiting too much. I’ve been to America quite a few times before and D.C was never too high on my list. But as fate would have it my aunt has lived in Virginia for many years and it was about time that I set off on…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Washington D.C”

For my final trip this year I decided to get out of my comfort zone and book a surprise trip to Bruges for my boyfriend and I. The reason it was out of my comfort zone was because for some unknown reason I’ve never been overly compelled to visit Belgium. There isn’t any real reason…Continue Reading “A Weekend In Bruges”

With the wonder that is Ryanair, my friend and I managed to bag flights to Cologne for only €19.99 return. There were just two catches to our trip. The first being that the trip was mid week, the second catch being that the trip was only for 24 hours – you get what you pay…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Cologne”

Monart Wexford Destination Spa

Everyone loves a good, relaxing weekend – and my last weekend was just that. I had the pleasure of spending one night in Monart, a ‘destination spa’ down in Wexford. Nestled away at the edge of Enniscorthy this five-star hotel is a little slice of paradise. I spent a Friday night here recently as a…Continue Reading “A Night at Monart Destination Spa”
