Not So Lucky in Ireland

Not So Lucky in Ireland

I won’t go into full details since they’re pretty terrible, but let’s just say I had really bad luck in Dublin, Ireland… As in, I ended up breaking up with someone and fleeing the country a few days early. But before that, when I was still trying to make the best of it, I went off on my own, which was terrifying at the time, but now that I’ve resurfaced photos, I’m glad I did.

Ironically, all of the photos look as dreary and miserable as I had been from the sleepless nights and fighting, but they’re still pretty neat. I spent a lot of time riding around on the City Sightseeing Tour buses (definitely go on one) by myself even though it was raining and freezing outside. I walked laps up and down Temple Bar, taking pictures of other people who seemed to be having fun, and also ones who seemed equally as glum as me.

So although I had no such luck in Dublin with my love life, I’m lucky to at least have some of these photos from Ireland!

Ironically, I would soon find out that the first day of sunshine was my last day in Dublin!

How Cruise Lines Help Preserve Our Planet

Image
By: Susan Hanson Cruise lines and environmentally focused groups unite to celebrate and protect our planet. Greening the Galápagos Santa Cruz Island’s lush cloud forest is home to the largest of 15 Scalesia species found in the Galápagos. These native trees and shrubs, which provide sanctuary to numerous types of endemic birds, are often compared to Darwin’s finches for their remarkable adaptability to the archipelago’s different vegetation zones. Scalesia are among the 30,000-plus seedlings planted in Santa Cruz’s Los Gemelos highlands as part of an ongoing collaborative effort between Celebrity Cruises and Galápagos National Park. Celebrity passengers and crew members alike have taken part in the reforestation project, which aims to restore  areas affected by humans and invasive plants. Their enthusiasm and hard work have helped the program exceed its initial goal by 150 percent so far. A tree grows in the Galápagos. Photo by Celebrity Cruises. Music of the Sphere A...

10 Best Breakfasts From Around the World

Around the World in 10 Breakfasts Breakfast, the best and most important meal of the day in our eyes. Here’s a taster of what different nationalities around the world eat first thing to get them going for the day. There’s some pretty random shizzle in here! 10. Natto (Japan) Fermented soy beans are classed as a delicacy in Japan and if you can get over the pungent cheesy smell, strong flavour and slimy mucus-like texture they are very good for you. Natto is perfectly nutritious being high, in fibre with zero cholesterol, which means you can have more! Mmm yummy. 9. Hagelslag (The Netherlands) These popular sprinkles (translated as hailstorm) come in a variety of shapes, sizes and flavours, including fruit and chocolate. Not only to be enjoyed on ice cream, the Dutch and Belgians actually put them on buttered bread and toast! Not particularly nutritious but a great way to start the day on a sugar high. 8. Churros (Spain) Nothing beats churros and hot chocolate when ...
