Backpacking in Athens, Greece; 5 Things to See in Athens With all the chat about Greek’s financial woes, you’d almost expect Athens to be a city full of destitute people and burnt out buildings. And whilst sadly there are certainly an incre...
Loneliness is a common emotion on the road, especially when you travel alone however, it’s not an emotion that lasts long, trust me. Sometimes paths cross and sometimes they separate but it’s what happens in between that keeps us going....
I’m writing this post for everyone who googles this question and would otherwise have to spend hours researching how to do this journey, like I did yesterday! So here you go guys… Ohrid is in the south of Macedonia, and Meteora is in the no...
I had a real eye-opening day today in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. The country was only declared independent in 2008 so naturally it’s got that ‘new country’ feel, and walking around knowing the majority of the population has experience...
Traveling to more obscure backpacking destinations often reap the biggest rewards, and they don’t come in the shape of banana pancakes and whisky hangovers. Kosovo has exceeded all my expectations and I only wish I could stay here longer. T...
When I told people I was going to Macedonia, I had a few replies of “why?!” or “what’s there to see there?” and to be perfectly honest, I didn’t really know the answer. Sure, I wanna see everywhere so I was happy to add Macedonia to that li...

Quite simply one of the most beautiful countries you’ll ever visit, most naturally and architecturally. I am struggling to convey how positive I feel about this place. I don’t know too many people who have visited Macedonia (in fact I don’t...
The most famous sight in Bulgaria, and another UNESCO world heritage site. The Rila monastery is about 120km from Sophia, so it’s easily doable as a day trip I walked into the building, not expecting much, but it realy blew me away. The mon...
I said my goodbyes to Romania, with 4 bottles of cognac in my bag, and made my way on the night bus to Sophia, Bulgaria. I didn’t really know what to expect to be honest, after the surprising beauty of Bucharest and the grittiness of Chisin...
Bucket list time folks! After going to Finland and failing to catch the lights, I’m booked to go to Iceland in December for attempt number 2, now I’m researching every last eventuality in the hope that I can finally see my dream...
My European odyssey is about half way done now, and it’s been unreal. I’m currently in Croatia (Split to be precise) and it’s bloody gorgeous. I’ve been getting a lot of emails recently asking how much does it cost to backpack around Europe...
Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.
You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand
and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made
more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I
travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
Take ownership. Take action, and remember
"If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
