Have you ever felt homesick for somewhere you’ve never lived, only visited? That’s Ireland for me. The people in Ireland are the greatest – every time I go, I make new friends. I’ve traveled around Dublin, the West (Galway area), and all over the South, from Dingle to Kilkenny. I love the pubs of Ireland, they are truly its heart and soul. Besides the stout, though, there’s plenty more, from beautiful landscapes to quaint villages to the most charming accents. I never knew I liked studying history until a friend gave me a historical tour of some of the historical buildings in Dublin – the country has a fascinating, if heart-wrenching, past which I never grow tired of reading and learning about. I recommend you watch the movie “Michael Collins” before you go.
