Wild Atlantic Way
I always thought it was best to travel somewhere new, rather than returning to the same place over and over.
And yet, somehow, I’ve been to Ireland twice in the last two years, looking for more of the wild landscapes, warm hospitality and foot tapping music that characterize this small European country.
