Bruff
We arrived in Ireland and drove to the tiny village of Bruff. We were exhausted from our traveling ordeal so we walked in the countryside and relaxed in the village pub.
Why we traveled here
We'd always dreamed of a road trip to western Ireland and were able to make it as we were heading back to our home in Budapest after a summer visit with our families in the United States.
Loved
Seeing the Dunquin Pier.- Driving the Ring of Kerry.
- The Hook Peninsula.
- Music in Kilkenny.
Next time, I’d…
- 1We did have some issues getting there (airline strike), so sadly we lost a day of our trip. We were also rerouted to Dublin instead of Shannon airport, which added some time to our drive.
- 2As much as I loved our trip, I would stay in just one or two places, or just one very central place, rather than moving each night.

Portovenere
We wanted to visit the coast of Italy, near the Cinque Terre but not IN the Cinque Terre, to avoid the crowds and high prices. We happened to find an amazing apartment in Portovenere (sometimes known as the sixth Cinque Terre town) and decided to make that our home base.

Romania Road Trip
We were living in Budapest and needed to leave for visa reasons. We'd heard such amazing things about Romania, and decided to road trip through Transylvania!

Normandy, France
It was my mother's first trip to France, and as a big World War II buff, we knew she would want to see the D-Day Beaches in Normandy. Bayeux is an ideal base to explore Normandy, and survived much of the war relatively unscathed, meaning it has a well-preserved medieval center. A good place to stay to explore further, and a place to visit in its own right!

Sicily
We started our Italy trip in Rome and knew we wanted to explore the south of Italy. Our plan was to make it all the way around the boot and then end in Sicily, a place my boyfriend has wanted to see for a while. We ended up skipping most of the boot because there was a really easy overnight ferry from Naples to Palermo. So off to Sicily we went!

Ancient Wonders & Hidden Waters of Tulum
I’d always been fascinated by the ancient Mayan culture, so visiting the iconic ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea was at the top of my list. I also wanted to unwind on Tulum’s beautiful beaches and explore its magical cenotes hidden in the jungle. It was the ideal destination to connect with nature, dive into a rich cultural past, and enjoy the tropical sunshine.
