Little city, lots of pubs. I have written previously about my love for Galway, and one of its main charms is its personality. For such a small city, Galway will never fail to deliver when it comes to having a good night out. You can’t walk down a single cobblestone …
Galway – a bustling city in a sleepy town’s body. Galway is a city that marches to the beat of its own drum. The surrounding countryside is equal parts heartbreaking and welcoming, and the people sure know how to have a good time. Picture everything you imagine an Irish city …
When life gives you historic snowfall, make lemonade? I began writing this post sat in a cafe in Belfast. Sounds like a typical afternoon for me if we’re being honest. But you see, I was supposed to be flying about 30,000 feet over an ocean at the time. I’d like …
