Dear Ireland,
You were never just a destination. You were a quiet calling — the kind that speaks in wind through stone walls, in music spilling from half-open pub doors, in the smell of turf smoke at dusk.
You didn’t welcome me with grand gestures. You welcomed me with stories, with strangers who called me friend, with food that tasted like home I’d never known.
I didn’t just visit you.
I remembered something I didn’t know I’d forgotten.
And now, part of me never left.

Maybe it’s mad. Or maybe it’s the only sane thing left.
I'm headed there 5/18 (round trip returning 5/28... but I'm more than open if something works out and I can stay!) I have my dual citizenship. At least I could scope out the job ads for fun. My country is more than disappointing and frightening me right now.
Sounds brilliant.......

At The Bar
“I walked in and felt like I’d come home.”
That’s how one of our readers described Sean’s Bar — and if you’ve been, you know exactly what they meant.
