This is part 2 of a mini series I’m writing for my trip to Ireland in March 2017. See the first post here. One of the three days spent in Dublin consisted of a day trip to Glendalough, famous for being featured in P.S., I Love You (which yes, we did watch on the busContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Ireland (Glendalough)”

Wanderlust: Ireland (Dublin)
Over a year and a half ago I finally got to visit Ireland, a country I’d been dying to see for as long as I can remember. There’s always been something about the Emerald Isles that called out to me. Maybe it was the myths and folklore. Maybe it was the haunting Celtic music. MaybeContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Ireland (Dublin)”

I didn’t spend a great amount of time there because it was mostly spent on campus at the conference, but IContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: North Carolina”
Wanderlust: New York City
Let’s start this travel blogging endeavor with the first trip I remember making that gave me the travel bug. I don’t count Puerto Rico at 1-year-old or Jersey at four because I have no memories of those trips. No, my first official journey into the world of travel happened when I was 8-years-old and myContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: New York City”

This is just an introduction post to let my followers/readers know what to expect from these posts. You’ll know what to look forContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: Introduction”
