There She Goes…

You can tell by the following hints: they use pounds (£), there are red telephone booths everywhere, and the English flag flies high. I’m now in Edinburgh, Scotland!!!Scotland is so cool. And not because they have Uber (Ireland, catch up!) but because there are tons of cool streets with lots of old buildings and Edinburgh…… Continue reading I’m definitely in the U.K.

Today is my last full day in Dublin. I decided I should at least head to some of the haunted places I so carefully mapped out. First stop, 13 Henrietta Street where an exorcism is rumored to have taken place and the ghost of the woman exorcised haunts the premises. There was no address on…… Continue reading Spirits of Dublin – the ghostly and alcohol ones

First off, I have to state for the record that my room absolutely smells. Once this new Australian girl came into the room, the odor of the room significantly shifted. I febreezed the crap out of everything I own and I don’t think the smell is me… I hope Kim or Wes would have said…… Continue reading Day trip to Cliffs of Moher & Galway

My new friends have all left. So I’m left to my own devices: iPad, camera, cell phone, Bumble. I could not fall asleep last night. It was well after 1am when I think I finally fell asleep. Not surprisingly, I was awake before 8am but I promised myself NO NAP today. I have to get…… Continue reading 100% solo again…

I am having way too much fun to blog..never thought I’d write those words but I’m sitting on my queen-sized hostel bed forcing myself to capture all that I’ve been doing since arriving in Dublin on Saturday. Where do I even begin??! From the moment I stepped off the plane, I knew this was the…… Continue reading Lads, lassies & leprechauns – I love Ireland!

While I try not to cuss, there is a lot of it implied. Read at your own risk. I sat next to the rudest couple alive on the flight from Toronto to Iceland. First, the man was larger than usual. Ok, he was fat. I’m not sugar coating it on account of their rudeness. And…… Continue reading There are always rude people/Layover in Iceland

I think I started to feel bad on the train; wait, I know I started to feel bad because in my 1-sec a day project, I have video of me looking miserable and not feeling well. It really hit me Wednesday with the severe weather shifts in Toronto – one minute I’m sweating bullets and…… Continue reading Being sick in another country sucks!

Yesterday, I arrived at my B&B (Toronto Garden Inn) after the +10 hours late train (see previous entry). Usually when I arrive at a new location, I walk to the nearest intersection and see what food choices and mini-mart options are near me. Turns out, around the corner is a homeless shelter. I walked to…… Continue reading Museums, museums…but the kind I like!

Editor’s note: I’m trying something new with this blog entry. Instead of writing a whole summary of my 3 day and 10 hours tour of Canada, from one end to the other, I’m documenting my running thoughts without filter. Day 1 – all aboard (Vancouver) Sitting in the first class lounge. Guitar player serenedes the…… Continue reading Running thoughts: Train from Vancouver to Toronto
