  November 11, 2011 / photo essays, travel tales

  Dublin, Ireland Also, now you can buy my photos. Because you love them. Also because you want to fund my trip to Scotland, right? Pretty please. With sugar and cherries and puppies and stuff on top. And if there’s a photo I’ve posted that you like but don’t see in the store–let me know!

  13% of the World

  October 20, 2011 / travel tales

  I was taking inventory of my photos this week (and when I say taking inventory, holy crap do I mean it. There were something like 30 CDs of photos. And that’s just after I got a digital camera), when I felt a sudden surge of satisfaction. Sometimes I forget…I’ve been a lot of places, seen [...]

  Peace and Longing and Tea

  May 25, 2008 / travel tales

  When I was in Ireland, I drank a lot of tea. I’m not sure why our brains make the associations that they do. I read a book in college that was supposed to explore the idea of scent-memory, taste-memory, etc. But I must not have paid attention. Or perhaps discarded it with disgust, as I [...]

  Half Naked Italians, Oh Bliss

  August 12, 2007 / travel tales

  Yesterday the makeup of our hostel changed entirely. The loud American group moved out (is it terrible of me to hate them a little and be embarrassed for my country?) and the sweet French boy hitched a ride onward and the hostel was quiet for the day. As evening came on a British family moved [...]

  Please, Sweet Irish Person, Pick Me Up!

  August 10, 2007 / travel tales

  Out here I feel as though I have Ireland all to myself. In Dublin the main roads are still crawling with tourists and European students, but not county Meath. Not the little villages. I walk to town in the mornings (I’m staying 2km outside of town. How’s that for exercize?) and get a scone and [...]

  Supah Good Feeling

  August 9, 2007 / travel tales

  Yesterday I made it my goal to see the “real” Dublin–to get as far away from the tourists as possible. So I set off toward a tower I’d seen distantly to the north. I walked off the map and into what I was looking for. Green parks with irish couples spread across blankets and dogs [...]

  Something to Write Home About

  August 8, 2007 / travel tales

  Hello from Ireland! I landed in Dublin early yesterday and took the much overpriced airport bus to Lower Gardiner street–which is a long brick street of hostels, backpacker stays, and B&Bs. Past the smokers and the tourists and the teeny tiny cars I went to my hostel and slept for several hours (as I hadn’t [...]
