I love finding inspiring and helpful travel information on the web. So, for any fellow travelers, I am always open to practical questions about when, where, how, and how much. I've been to Ireland 4 times, so while I'm no expert, I have gathered quite a bit of knowledge about the country, touching down in all 32 counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland. I've also rambled around England, Scotland, & France a bit. Feel free to leave questions in the comments section of any post or email me at
