Before I start writing, please let me say this disclaimer: this entry is full of my thoughts after conversations, presentations, and observations while in Ireland. I have not researched these topics further than stated above nor do I mean to offend anyone with these thoughts.

I think there is no better place in the world. Last time I wrote a blog, I told you how much I wished we would have miss that flight to New York. Well, in Ireland we are again. We land in Dublin almost two weeks ago already. I decided in December that in March I would give couchsurfing a go. This is exactly what we are doing. Even though, I miss the freedom of being in a hostel and the chaos atmosphere, couchsurfing is amazing. What a great project! I should have tried it before. The people that ... read more
