I’m not even gonna rant (well, sort of not) – this is how the thought process of booking a budget airline goes: Wow, a flight from Ukraine to Poland for $20, that’s amazing. I’ve always wanted to go Poland. I’m booking that. What? Wh...
Being driven by a singing, one-armed taxi driver 600km in Botswana, hitch hiking in a cargo boat through Burma and China, drinking in the toilet cubicles on a 14 hour train with no seat ticket – awesome experiences, and ones that don’t come...
Couchsurfing is not about saving money, that’s not the essence of it at all, it’s about meeting like-minded people; it’s about sharing stories and learning cultures; it’s about paying it forward and it’s about making new friends. I couchsur...
Just cos you’re in Europe doesn’t mean backpacking is always easy. I’ve been fighting for visas across the world for years, and getting a visa for Belarus is no different. You can get your Belarus visa in Estonia though, here’s how: 1) Th...
Tallinn has garnered a bit of a reputation for loud, obnoxious stag (bachelor) parties coming for the weekend, getting drunk and naked and having a scrap, and while that may exist, you can easily avoid it and at least pretend to be above it...
A Walking Tour in Tallinn, Estonia I’ve been anticipating my arrival in the Baltic states for months. I’d heard that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were steeped in history, dripping with culture and that their cities were full of the most am...
UPDATE: I completed this task successfully yaaay! I’ve been thinking about whether or not to state my travel plans entirely this year or not, in case I let myself down and don’t complete them. However, in a bid to keep me focused I t...
I’ve not only waved a temporary goodbye to Scandinavia, but also my two good buddies who took the trans Siberian train with me, so it’s onwards into Eastern Europe all alone… Looking back at my time in Finland, I feel so happy about the thi...
It’s humbling to know that we’ve all made mistakes, hurt the people closest to us, wasted and spurned opportunities, made the wrong decisions. It’s part of what makes us human and what helps connects us together. We’re all in the same boat,...
Finland has been good to me, arriving on their national holiday Vappu and partying in the park, crossing the Arctic circle and meeting Santa Claus. Most of all the people have been great. This post is just as much a thanks as a recap of wha...
So finally I’m backpacking in Europe. The rest of the world has been good to me, but now it’s time to visit my own back yard, and Finland is up first. I made it to Helsinki, partied for Vappu there (you can search for that in my Finland sec...
My mission from Asia to Europe by land is now officially complete. I made it to Europe, jumped on the bus from St Petersburg to Helsinki. I actually left Russia one day early in order to reach Finland for the 30th April, because I had heard...
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"
