Journey with Jessica: Taking on Dublin  →
journeywithjessica: I think it’s only logical that I write about a city that has produced some of the most famed writers in history (James Joyce, anyone?). In a word: SPECTACULAR. I think Dublin is a perfect solo destination, not only because the city is tiny and people are beyond friendly, but because everyone…

Journey with Jessica: (Mostly) Free Activities:... →
journeywithjessica: When traveling on a budget, you don’t have endless amounts of cash to be throwing around on activities and amusement. Finding free (or really cheap) things to do can be a challenge, but I can name a few… 1. Walking tours seem totally lame. But a free New Dublin Tour walks you to most major sites…

Emily's Guide to Dublin's City Centre Dublin,... →
Most “neighborhoods” on the north side of Dublin, where I’ve been living with my husband for the last couple years, are too tiny to have many stores or specialty shops. They usually have just a convenience store, maybe a fish and chips counter and a bank, so you have to go into the City Centre to get the good stuff! Here are some of my favorites!

Everything and Nothing: On being asked to describe... →
nyamznyamz: My booted feet cross the threshold, one foot after the other, the warmth of the house behind me and a promising chill ahead of me. The grey skies tell tales of rain to come, the cold breeze silently concurs. My feet appear to have a mind of their own and I am led to follow. I feel the…

Avoca, Wicklow, Ireland
Avoca, Ireland — recognize that pub in the background? That’s right, home of Ballykissangel. Oh, yes please! And the Avoca.com website is just too clever. It feels reminiscent of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book (remember those?), only way better. [Want to see the big picture? Here’s Avoca on Google Maps]
