A friend said to me before, “When people talk about going on foreign holidays because there’s nothing to do in Ireland, they just aren’t looking properly”.

Unfortunately, was already brainwashed from an early age by going on package holidays with my family to holiday camps where redcoats held sway. To this day have a tendency to pick my international travel destinations with, despite my age, a proximity to theme parks in mind.

While have no intention of changing that habit, one thing that certainly has changed is how view my own country as a holiday destination. With a group of friends, took a trip to West Cork, specifically Bantry, and it looks like Irish holidays just gained a prodigal traveller.
