    Ireland’s Ancient East Itinerary

    Before we forget all memories of our trip, I feel it is best that we just keep writing about it, so we can look back and smile as we reminisce about the places we’ve been, what we’ve seen and done. This is the summary of our trip. We will have detailed information about places we’ve seen and done in another post. This is just a sample of what you can do on your future Ireland itineraries. Note that we went in March 2017, and while the information we’ve published here may have been correct, it may have changed by the time you’re reading this. For your reference, here are our…

    I watch concerts alone – here’s why you should do it too

    As I type this, I just watched another concert alone. It was one of my favorite bands of all time, the Backstreet Boys, and they were playing in my hometown. Of course I wouldn’t miss it, right? But you may be asking why, even in the city I live in, do I watch concerts alone? Here are the reasons why I prefer to watch concerts alone, and why you should try to do it too.  I’m writing this post to help others who may want to watch concerts alone.
