Our first trip to Europe was a walking holiday in Dingle Ireland. We booked the trip through Sherpa Expeditions, so they took care of all our lodging, itineraries & luggage transfers from inn to inn. With travel days included & all expenses, this was a 10-day trip that cost us $3200 (airfare was free & I’ll talk more about that in future posts). Well worth the money. There is SO much I want to share about this trip, so I’ll divvy it up into separate posts.
IT’S ALL MARY’S FAULT!
When the woman who inspired my first foray into international travel says “Clare, we should start a hiking club for women & call it the No. 1 Ladies Hiking Society,” what’s a girl to say? I said yes of course and over 90 people showed up to our first meeting! A year & 367 members later, I find myself starting this blog because this past year has shown me that people really are interested in getting advice on healthier travel and experiencing life to its fullest…from a 36 year old hiking newbie. I would have NEVER thought this in a million years had that first coffee house conversation with Mary never happened. So Mary, I totally blame you for all the future sleepless nights and stiff typing fingers that are about to ensue.
