I have always had a passion for history, castles, and anything medieval, and I've wanted to travel and experience it all for myself as my homeland is young. In my 60th year, my husband and I took that trip of a lifetime. I saw more castles and cobbled roads than I could shake a stick at, while experiencing life in Ireland, London, and parts of Europe. I faced my fears, and steep cultural learning curves. Tag along with me on long flights, bus tours, river cruises, gondolas, time differences, spectacular scenery, incredible history and much more. Laced with drama, intrepid moments, sass, attitude, and loads of fun. This is my story, a celebration of a 40-year dream becoming reality, through the eyes of a traveller who didn't 'Google it' first!
