Travel: Skyview Tower
Skyview Tower! We didn’t even know this place existed until we saw it across from our lunch spot one afternoon. I’ll warn you: you have to walk, step-by-step (ooh, baby!) It’s not the most exciting view; however, it does give you a nice outlook of Dublin. The city is relatively flat and doesn’t have much towering infrastructure. Okay, let’s check out the photos. Skyview Tower First up, the tower itself is old and very cool. It’s about 5 euros to climb up, and we only…

Travel: Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park – it’s a massive and awesome park in Dublin. It’s home to the Dublin Zoo, a Tea Room (we didn’t visit this; someone asked us for directions to it, though) and a lot of stunning flowers. Okay, let’s check out some of the highlights of Phoenix Park. Phoenix Park First, we visited quite early – around 8:45am – 9:00am on a Friday morning, and it wasn’t busy at all. Some runners, a few people walking, and one person on a bike. No dogs,…

Travel: Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo – it’s a fantastic way to spend a morning or an afternoon, walking, seeing the animals, and enjoying the company you’re with. The zoo is in Phoenix Park (more on that soon!) and is about 70 acres. We put on about 30,000 steps – we walked a lot. The zoo opens at 9:30am, and we got there shortly after it opened and spent the morning – so about 2.5 hours. We booked our tickets online to save about 15%, plus they have student…

Travel: Dublin Sights
Dublin sights! There are so many statues and sights all around Dublin, so be sure to walk and enjoy your surroundings. Some of these get a little more attention than others (you’ll see what I mean below!). All in all, Dublin is a very walkable city, and we recommend lacing up your shoes and hitting the sidewalk. Okay, photo time. Dublin Sights The Thomas Davis Stature above has a bird on its head – it’s kind of wild how much it’s covered in bird poop.…

Travel: London Heathrow
London Heathrow – it can feel like an overwhelming place, yet it’s easy to navigate and has some great eats to snag before your flight. We finished up our time in Cambridge and then took the bus (yes, I know!) to LHR and had some delicious eats before jetting off to Dublin. Below I’ll share a few resources and our go-to for dinner. Let’s jump in. London Heathrow Okay, first, a few sites to help you navigate! Now, once you find out where you’re going,…

Travel: 7 Days in Cambridge
7 days in Cambridge, England – yes, worth the trip! Plus, the company was the best around. It’s not very often we spend a whole week in such a seemingly small place, yet we had a good reason (nerd alert!). We saw sights, art, walked a lot, and even took in a garden and an art house. Plus, we did some studying. Oh, and the eats. Some good food, that’s for sure. Okay, let’s checkout what we did in 7 days! 7 Days in Cambridge…

Travel: Kettle Yard House
Kettle Yard House – it’s stunning and very much the house of an artist. It’s worth paying the cost of admission to check out this wonderfully curated space. From the pop of yellow with the lemon to the simplistic nature of the furniture placement, be sure to check this place out. Kettle Yard House First up, you’ll most likely need to buy tickets ahead of time online and reserve a time slot. They only let people into the house at certain intervals and give you…
