To Dream is to Die – 2019
July 21, 2018 Kenmare Anyone who has known me for the past 10 years has heard me mention Kenmare at least once. After doing some research at home for years, I wrote into my notebook that if I could ever travel overseas, I would want to visit Kenmare for the stone circle. It became a... Continue Reading →
July 18, 2018 Doolin I forgot to mention this before, but towards the end of the day on the 19th, my friends want to go to a pub in Doolin for dinner because they advertised live music in the bar. We weren't sure what to expect. But when we left our hostel that evening to... Continue Reading →
July 19 - 20, 2018 The Dingle Peninsula & Castlemaine The 19th was mainly a travel and beach day. We enjoyed walking along the beach and searching for sea glass for quite a long time before heading to the diner for some food. Let me just say, I'm in love with garlic mayo. I wish...

July 18, 2018 The Portal Tomb & The Burrens The Burrens and the Portal Tomb were pretty interesting. Although there were a lot of tourists [other than us], it felt extremely freeing to stand on the Burrens and feel the wind brush my cheeks. I was the most excited to see the Portal Tomb, which...

July 18, 2018 The Cliffs of Moher When you go to Ireland, you have to visit the cliffs. That's a must. At least, for me it was. When we arrived, there were tour buses everywhere, making the drive a tad treacherous. But thankfully, those bus drivers know what they're doing. This time we couldn't get... Continue Reading →
July 17, 2018 The Dark Hedges and Bushmill's Distillery This was one particular location I was excited for. Not only because it was another Game of Thrones filming location, but also because it is hauntingly beautiful. We were lucky enough to have arrived at the hedges early and avoid the large crowds. Recognize anything? This... Continue Reading →
July 16, 2018 Game of Thrones Film Locations This was probably the longest Monday of my entire life but in a good way. After we had finished taking pictures and exploring Giant's Causeway, we made our way back to the car. Fun story though. Apparently, it was possible the tourist center would charge us per...

The day we went to Giant's Causeway was a LONG day because it includes our stops at many of the Game of Thrones filming locations. So, to keep it simple, I'm splitting this day into two separate posts. July 16, 2018 Giant's Causeway We woke up early for Giant's Causeway because not only our host,... Continue Reading →
July 15, 2018 Belfast and Titanic Museum Our official second day in Northern Ireland, and I still felt like I had been hit by a bus. Even though I was sleeping through the night, it never felt like enough. The fact that the sun wasn't fully down until midnight really threw me off for some... Continue Reading →
July 14, 2018 Carrickfergus Castle The Keep B&B On our first day in Ireland/Northern Ireland, I hadn't slept for over 24 hours. Needless to say, I was a little out of it. But after our stop at Newgrange, we continued making our way north until we stopped at Carrickfergus. Instead of staying at an Airbnb,... Continue Reading →
