Since Dezz only got to experience 24-hours in Dublin on her previous go at the city we decided to do much better this time around. However that was the extent of our planning for Dublin. Contrary to our usual how-to and where-to format, herein is a list of our mistakes that you can now easily avoid. Allow yourself time to rest: We arrived late and were jet lagged … Continue reading Learn from our mistakes in Dublin
When visiting Ireland you should consider touring Co. Donegal. It was named #1 on the Cool List of 2017 by National Geographic Traveller. We were given many suggestions of places to visit in Donegal, such as Slieve League (a mountain on the Atlantic Ocean, with some of the highest cliffs in Ireland), or Donegal town, but we were too short on time to spend it on the road and … Continue reading Which landscapes to see in Co. Donegal, Ireland
At the end of November 2016, the opportunity to head to Ireland for New Year’s was put on our table. With a wedding coming up, working freelance, the holidays, and it being off season, rainy, and cold in Ireland this was obviously a bad choice, right? Wrong. We found roundtrip tickets to Dublin for $450/person. That’s right, it was cheaper to fly to another country, than … Continue reading How to spend 10 full days in Ireland
The Wild Atlantic Way is a 2,500km scenic route along Ireland’s west coast. Stretching from Derry to Kinsale you’ll be privy to spectacular coastal views, towering cliffs, numerous historic sites, sprawling lush green hills, and culture abound. If natures majesty is your calling, the Wild Atlantic Way should be way up on your bucket list. Read More… Continue reading Wild Atlantic Way
We could’ve wandered through Killarney for days. If only we knew the beauty of it beforehand. For us Killarney was a drive through. We stopped there while heading from Dingle to Kinsale. I hear the town is a bit touristy, but the park itself is stunning. We made our way towards the Gap of Dunloe. The fog was just lifting, the lake was still, and the … Continue reading A walk through Killarney National Park
Like the Christmas tree still sitting in the living room at the time of writing the following text, this post is an overdue reminder of the time of year we spend time with those closest to us (or avoid them because it’s cheaper to fly to Ireland). Having recently matured to the ripe age of 30, I can finally, publicly, and (almost) unabashedly admit that … Continue reading Christmas in Sunnyside (and beers in other boroughs)
This gear has been acquired over years, and between two people. Photography is an expensive hobby/career, which makes traveling even harder. This trip to Ireland happened spontaneously about a month ago. Traveling around the holidays can be far from cost effective (we do it every year to see our family). This year, with a wedding coming up, we decided to save our money and stay … Continue reading What’s in our bag? – Ireland 2017
Between the two of us, we’ve taken 4 road trips across the country. Each trip has been a different route so we’ve got some stories for all parts of America. Read More & See More Photos Continue reading The Great American Road Trip
This is the first we’ve heard of any such award, but we couldn’t thank Jungles on the Moon enough! We’re still figuring out the whole idea of blogging, so to be recognized is an honor. Thank you. The Liebster award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers. The word “liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, … Continue reading WE’VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR A LIEBSTER AWARD!
My first time out to the desert to go riding was on New Year’s Eve. It was about to be 2009 and I hadn’t been on a quad, or atv if you will, for about 5 years at that point. As we arrived the sky blanketed the desert with innumerable stars, the landscape was littered with the lights of dune buggies, trucks, rv’s, and fires … Continue reading Ocotillo Wells
