Recently I took a trip to Krakow and while I was there my sister and I went on a tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau. The reason we chose to go to Krakow was mostly because we wanted to visit here. For those of you who may not know, Auschwitz and Birkenau were concentration camps opened…Continue Reading “Auschwitz and Birkenau”
My sister and I had wanted to visit Krakow for some time, so we decided this year instead of birthday presents we would just pay for our flights to go. Initially we wanted to visit for the Christmas markets but with our birthdays both being in March it felt too hard to wait that long!…Continue Reading “Discovering Krakow”
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”
Although I was in Athens for longer than 24 hours (3.5 days to be exact!) I was working for two of the days and the entirety of the last day was spent in the airport for our flight home – so the only day we really had to play around with was Sunday. Since I…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Athens”
As spoken about previously, my first experience of Spain wasn’t exactly a good one. Different things appeal to different people, and personally I love the charm of Eastern Europe and find that charm is sometimes lacking in some of the larger central European cities – like Barcelona. I visited here with my friends and while…Continue Reading “Discovering Barcelona”
On a recent trip to Estonia, I was adamant to visit Helsinki while I was there. These two countries are surprisingly only an hour and a half apart by boat when you take the Linda Line Express. This ferry which costs €35 return is for passengers only, but there are plenty other ferry lines which…Continue Reading “A Day In Helsinki”
Tallinn, Estonia is definitely an under rated city in Europe. Having not known many people who have gone there (only one person to be honest!) we blindly made a decision to go – and I’m so happy we did! I will pull no punches and say that there isn’t a huge amount of things to…Continue Reading “Discovering Tallinn Old Town”
Have you ever seen the film Eurotrip? The film from 2004 documents a group of teenagers travelling across Europe where they end up in Bratislava. This is the only time I was ever really exposed to Bratislava on TV and let me tell you – it is not a good depiction of how amazing the…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Bratislava”
If you had ever asked me about recommendations for Clare before I would have been very quick to say The Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Liscannor, etc. The last time I had explored anywhere else in Clare was with my parents years ago and having finally gone there last weekend I’m really sad that it didn’t…Continue Reading “Discovering County Clare”
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”
