Thanks for checking out our blog! We moved to Dublin in November of 2018 and are forever working on “settling in”. It’s a running joke we have because we never feel settled and we’re beginning to accept that mindset. Our traveling experiences documented in this blog all start from Dublin and range in length from quick day trips to long weekends in different European countries or other destinations in Ireland. We enjoy hiking, food markets, and exploring the coast. We do not travel in luxury and we do not travel so cheaply that we miss out on experiences. We’re somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and would like to create a larger space on the internet for this travel style. We are working professionals that like to travel whenever we have time and the means.

Whether you’re looking for some inspiration while planning your trip to Ireland, searching for weekend getaway ideas, or you’re deciding if you want to move here from the US, we hope to provide the motivation to get you out there so you can experience travel or expat life for yourself.
