Travel the World


Todays post is just going to be a short one :) So today I was checking my emails and deleting all the crappy junk mail that often piles up when I notice one from twitter informing me of a new follower whom I did not know. Intrigued by this mysterious new follower I opened it and followed the link to this persons page. Upon investigation (total stalking) of their page it became clear to me that I without a doubt did not know this person. It was more than likely just them spam following, not that I mind. But I did discover something cool about them. They are taking part in this competition called See the World With Spar.

Basically it's a competition where a person enters to become a reporter for spar and the winner gets a round the world trip to report about all the interesting things to be seen in the world. This guys name is Eoin Mulvihill and he wants to win the trip. All we have to do to help him, is do any or all of the following: view, like, comment, share, tweet his video from Youtube. I wrote this post to help share the video because he seems like a nice guy and a bit of craic. He definitely seems legitimately interested in the competition. I also wrote it to let any other people who may be interested in this kind of thing about the competition and give them the opportunity to enter :) Give the video a view and a like, it only takes 3 minutes :) Thanks Stardansheill o7

This is his video.

New Thing Week 17

New things week 17: Visit new places in Ireland.

So for week 17 of my new things to do I got stuck for ideas and time. I was working nights and in college during the day. I barely got time to see my bed, but then a friend gave me a great idea for a new thing to do. Since I was going to be traveling around the country for work I could write about all the new places in Ireland I got to visit. Some people I mentioned this to said it could be counted as cheating. I see where they are coming from since I didn't really go out of my way to visit these places, I was going to be going there anyway. But I also think that work was a great opportunity for me to get to see places in Ireland that I have never seen before. I have lived here 21 years and there is so much of the Country that I haven't seen yet. But with my job I get to travel to places I would never have thought of going before. So I don't think it's cheating.

I would have loved to have done something more exciting, but I literally went to work after college, got home and went to bed for a couple of hours and did it all again the next day. So anyway I am going to tell you all about the lovely scenery you will notice on the way to these remote locations. I will break it down day by day. I new about all the towns I visited, but I had never been near them until I traveled there with work.
