MY BIG GAY IRISH ROAD TRIP
If you’ve travelled the world a fair bit, it can be easy to forget what’s on your own doorstep. And if you’re looking for love, or just a bit of fun, you don’t have to travel far; The Outing in Lisdoonvarna is a delightful and different experience.

First up though, a trip to the Emerald Isle wouldn’t be complete without visiting its charming capital city. Dublin has a constant, joyous buzz about it – perhaps due to the fact booze seems to pour out of the taps. You’re never short of a beverage or a new friend in one of the city’s varied bars, with some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. And if you prefer to stay away from the devil’s juice (It’s actually possible, even in Ireland!) there are scores of boutique shops, art galleries, cafés and places of interest as you swing your handbag/manbag/latest trick around the cobbled streets. With random buskers, street performers and locals full of craic, the atmosphere here is truly electric.
