Galway, Ireland: Galway City Hostel Review

(source)

Galway is a small town right on the Irish coast. My travels landed me in Galway for a couple of days where I stayed in a charming and warm hostel called the Galway City Hostel. If you’re thinking of staying here as a budget-friendly option during your visit, I suggest you read on!

Dublin, Ireland: Jameson Distillery Tour

Jameson always brings me back to the good ‘ol college days when I would buy alcohol in immensely large containers. Okay, I still do. But what I did not know is that Dublin has a Jameson Distillery right next to my hostel! It’s both a convenient and terribly awesome idea…

Classic Wine and Dine

What I love about California is the great weather year-round. It’s just perfect for wine tasting on any given weekend. Of course when it comes to wine tasting, there’s always an element of dressing up that makes it all the more fun! Think of it as an adult tea party, but with wine and cheese.

St Maarten: Review of the Alegria Hotel

Ben and I stayed at the Alegria Hotel in St. Maarten during our trip to the Caribbean because of its awesome views and proximity to the airport. As some of you may know, St. Maarten is a great place to watch airplanes fly closely over your head on Maho Beach and what better way to see it than staying at a hotel that overlooks the beach!

Beaches to Check Out in St. Maarten

St. Maarten is an island in the Caribbean with absolutely stunning views and sights. If staying on the island, grab a rental car and explore many of their beaches to see what makes this island so special.

Yacht Week Arm Candy with Mieroglyphs

Having traveled on two routes on The Yacht Week, I pride myself on picking out some sweet arm candy before my adventures begin. During the week of amazing sailing, scenery, people, and parties, guests are given colorful wristbands in order to get into the exclusive Yacht Week parties.

Dublin, Ireland: Guinness Storehouse Tour

One popular drink that Ireland is proudly known for is the GUINNESS! I am already missing that lovely, malty beverage as I write this post. For anyone who is interested in how Guinness is made, there is a museum/storehouse to check out in Dublin, Ireland known as the Guinness Storehouse.

Breaking into the Celine Micro

The weather in California has been quite cold this year. In fact it’s warmer over in New York right now than here, which is nearly impossible to believe! With the weather hitting the low 40s at night, I’ve been bundling up every time I leave the house.

Killarney, Ireland: Review of the Fairview Hotel

My trip to Ireland involved a brief stay at the Fairview Hotel. It’s a boutique hotel in the town center of Killarney in Ireland and boasts a small town charm. There are about 2 main streets in town full of shops, bars, and hotels. It makes for a great, couple of days stay!
