I’m currently on the third leg of my trip, and I’m exploring Ireland! Specifically, I’m in Northern Ireland and it is absolutely breathtaking. I know I say everywhere I go has been beautiful, but it’s the truth; each destination has its own, unique kind of beauty. My time is almost up in Ireland, but I …
