My Story

A Texas-based writer who escapes to Ireland every chance she gets.

My Travel Style

While I appreciate a nice city, I'd much rather get out to the countryside and explore off the beaten path as soon as possible. I love a nice beach, a beautiful mountain and all things nature. I'm all about unique experiences that create memories, while enjoying culture, good company and great food!
