A tired Galway Girl

Where did we leave off…oh right. A very tired Erin was making her way from Dublin to Galway with her brother on a Saturday morning in January.

A short, overdue trip to Dublin

The rumors are true — I visited Ireland once again! It was a little over five years since I was last there.

For any loyal readers, you know the reason I started the blog was to write about my travels during my time abroad at Maynooth. While this trip didn’t involve a lot of studying, I still loved being back on the Emerald Isle for a few days.

Leaning off my GPS

Ah yes, my GPS. One of the most useful tools I’ve used throughout my travels.

Lately, I’ve been trying to use it a little less and I think you should, too.

The Solo Traveler

When I was abroad, I spent some time by myself. I would walk to class alone, sometimes make trips to the store alone and sometimes take trips by myself places.

It’s an overlooked part of being abroad, the time you spend with yourself.

“Fernweh”…or I Need To GO

What does that mean? It’s German, meaning “far sickness.” It’s an urge to travel even stronger than wanderlust.

It’s a lot of what I’ve been feeling lately over the course of my winter break at home.
