MEET TARA
Hello
For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with seeing the world. I grew up in a village in the Irish countryside, and although that has its own charm, I always dreamed of exploring the world. But like most people that dream was overshadowed by college and eventually rigid office jobs. The furthest I moved from my village was Dublin.
Although I have had many jobs I loved, I could never shake my passion for travelling. Weekend trips and and sunny weeks away did little to quench my thirst for travel, it actually just ignited it.
After COVID, emboldened by my savings and weary from lost years in lockdown my boyfriend and I booked a one-way flight to Lisbon. Initially planning a 9 month trip around Europe and Asia. We travelled around Portugal, Spain, and Italy, hitting a few unexpected cities like Istanbul and Skopje. We then spent the following 3 years in Asia, exploring places like Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, Japan, Korea, Taiwan.
These few years have been incredible. I have really got to immerse myself in countries I never even thought I’d visit. It’s been humbling, fun, difficult and at times scary. I am now in the unique position to call many different countries a home away from home.
ABOUT THE BLOG
This blog was created in 2022 when the blogging space was a bit more easy to manage. I felt many guides were wrote for Google and often almost a copy and paste of each other. I wanted to create a helpful place, sharing tips, cafes and restaurants along the way. I am a BIG foodie btw.
I am not a writer, I am no Anthony Bourdain, but I do hope I can inspire some people to travel. I have so much more of the world I want to see and share.
My favourite things to do are hiking, cooking, going for coffee and reading a psych thriller (preferably on the beach). Yes, I know, I am painfully average. Oh, I also love hats!
