Dear All Greetings on my second blog entry for my time in country number 100! I have just completed my application for the TCC to become a fully-fledged Centurian, in which you have to tick all the countries you’ve been to. I had a mini-scare when I added up all my ticks to just 99, but then I realised that the island of Rhodes which I visited in 2003 forms part of the TCC’s “Greek Aegean I... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

There are so many interesting places I want to visit and there is so little time. I so would like to visit Ireland now. /Ake

Lol, ain't that just indeed the case - so much to see, so little time! This is one of the reasons why I love this TB website, we can travel with others as they travel - yay! I do hope you get to go back to Ireland someday. I would love to return to Sweden again - your blogs have shown me there is so much more to see in your beautiful country! ?

Packed a lot into a day
As usual you are up early and on the road of exploration.... which indeed helps fill the soul and increase happiness. We love reading your blogs and are traveling along with you. Thank goodness the count came out correctly! Yikes... that was a close one. Tara, Kells and Malahide all sound terrific. We travels learn to deal with all attitudes and don't let it interfere with our enjoyment.

Packing things in
Indeed, I love to turn in for the night in my accommodation thinking of the amazing things I've experienced that day. Yes, my heart sank for a moment until I remembered Rhodes...! Good point about attitudes, it's good to be an observer in these situations. Thank you for travelling along with me! I'm so looking forward to travelling along with you on your Saudi Arabian adventure - what amazing experiences you must be having there! ?

Another wonderful day in your Irish adventures! You 'hit' some new sights here which we 'missed' (Mound of Hostages, Kells, etc.), but wish we had. However, we did visit Malahide Castle one early morning, but only because we had just arrived in the country and our tour guide informed us our hotel rooms in Dublin were not yet ready. Our good fortune though, as the grounds were lovely in the early light!! I always admire your adeptness with using local transportation!

Ah, so nice to read that you also visited Malahide and its castle. Kells and Tara were great, I love visiting places off the tourist track ? Thank you for your encouragement, I find travelling by public transport an adventure in itself, lol!

Taking time to sit with a cat
I love moments like yours at Tara Open Studio. Sitting in the sun, petting a cat, not doing exactly what you may have planned, but enjoying it regardless is a magic moment. Looking forward to the final blog in this great trip.

Aw, the cat moment was really special. I aim to travel and "smell the roses", rather than simply ticking off the tourist attractions. I think we have a similar travel outlook in that respect. Thank you for reading my blog Brendan ?

I've looked this website up and I'm actually on 49 based on some islands that I hadn't included previously because they're owned by countries. Looks like you got to see the true Ireland and all its beauty and escape the hustle and bustle of Dublin

Well done Alan! You can actually become a Provisional Member at 75 of their countries and territories. You seem well on your way! Thanks Alan, I really enjoyed my time in rural Ireland too, and hopefully I'll return again at some point to explore more of it.
