Travel Experiences
At one interesting point in my life, I traveled overseas and disappeared–a two-month adventure turned into two years. While traveling through Europe, I visited Amsterdam, Hanover, Berlin, Leipzig, Prague, Munich, Vienna, Strasbourg, Le Havre, Sheffield and London, England and scores of other unsung locations off the beaten path.
While in Ireland, I visited: Rosslare, Dingle, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Galway, Lisdoonvarna, Ennis, Dublin, and many more locales. I ended up going offgrid and lived in a wee coastal town in County Clare. I worked in pubs and restaurants, hiked around the Burren moonscape, read things, wrote things, and hitchhiked up and down the west coast.
