Israel is one of the best backpacking destination in the world, it has so much personality, history and culture that you could spend weeks here and still be thirsty for more. Israel though doesn’t come cheap, it’s developed, it has a lot of...
Israeli hostels are really starting to blow me away. First I had Abrahams in Jerusalem (big, funky, great place to meet travelers), next up I had the Fauzi Azar Inn in Nazareth (gorgeous, luxury boutique hostel with so many free services it...
Tel Aviv runs at the same cost as London, New York and Tokyo, it’s seriously expensive. But just when you thought all was lost, a shining beacon of fun, frolics and unbelievable good value enters in to the fold, step forward HaYarkon 48 Hos...
I’m gonna try to avoid political discussion here folks, if you don’t know what’s going on with Israel/Palestine google it or drop me an email, I love discussing politics but not on a public forum. Anyways you can’t come to Israel without vi...
The holiest city in the world, and a place that’s been on my bucket list for a decade… Jerusalem. I’m so happy to be here. You guys know I’m constantly on the move, with hopes of cracking my 100 country mark in the not too distant future so...
I’ve wanted to come to Israel (and Palestine) since I was a kid, but to be perfectly honest I’ve been daunted by the passport stamp. Basically, if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport then you won’t be allowed entry into a host of ot...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I had heard a rumour that Borat’s home town (from the movie) was actually filmed in Romania, and with a rental car already sorted, in true tasteless fashion I sought it out with some serious vigour. After some online research we found out t...
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"
