This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to the city of lights- Paris. I was absolutely blown away by the architecture, food, and the rich history of this city. All of the buildings and restaurants we encountered had a sense of elegance about them that I haven’t experienced before. On our trip we…

This past weekend I had the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Reykjavik, Iceland. We bought the plane tickets on a whim, and decided ‘why not?’. This was one of the best decisions I ever made when it came to traveling. Trying something different like going to Iceland instead of Barcelona or Rome or…

Last weekend we had the amazing experience going to London. London was the first trip I have taken since arriving in Dublin, and it couldn’t have been better. We first arrived in London late Friday night and immediately went to our hostile. Clink78 was the first hostile I have ever stayed in and what an…
