The Bound Travel

First roadtrip of January, way back home felt so long 🤯 since travel for me is a little harder to achieve, I will try to cover every coastal road in Ireland and stop at as many beaches as possible, btw this was a rock heaven 😂

We fall. We break. We fail.
We rise. We feel. We overcome.

Loveeeed every minute of it 🙏 thanks to Angela for being there for my first breath under water and my last. (For now) From being in panic on day one to hovering over springrays and watching octopuses and other amaaazing life underwater on my last dive.
Thanks to Sam for his chill vibes and patience, would have gave up if it wasn't for him. Still gotta master the buddha position 😂 Thank you to Sheila, for being there from day one of booking my course, answering all my questions, nailing the cesa 👌🏼 and showing me the first glances of the underworld, and giving me the hope of becoming an amazing instructor in the very near future.
Our Captain deserves all the praise for his hard work on the boat and assisting.
Loved the team, the place, the attitude will be back 100%. Muchas Gracias ❤️

Hello, this is probably the best thing that's happened to me ever since the super dangerous virus has taken over our earth, thank goodness for a little paradise like this that makes you escape the reality of today's population control and invasion of human rights, and just simply improve your mental health. Absolutely greatful 🙏

Once again a well needed me time late night Saturday trip. 🚙

I arrived at Dugort beach around 11pm, ate my pesto spaghetti and cried my eyes out watching Octopus my teacher. 🐙

In the morning I headed off to Keel Beach to see what the waves were like, unfortunately I'm not a pro surfer and can't get my ass to stand on the board for longer than 3 seconds, so decided not to risk it as the waves were absolutely insane, so I had a swim instead 😏

Came by to say hello to mama bear, as she's on holidays there, her birthday is tomorrow so quick coffee and a quick hike up the mountain for some shots and off I headed back home slowly, when I say slowly, it felt like forever 😩

Well needed sleep awaits 🙏😂

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf.

Then, smiling at the man, he said…..“I made a difference for that one.”

What an amazing weekend with ❤️

We headed off to Achil Islands on a Saturday, just before leaving, my car decided to give off a few warning lights 🙈

We made it there and back and few stops and detours on the way, we slept in the car which was pretty comfortable and awesome with the full moon lighting the campsite and the ocean 🌕

Thanks to my parents we got a cool tour around the cliffs of the bay, sadly due to high tide we couldn't go onto the small secluded beaches for a swim, but we did see many amazing caves and jellyfish 👌🏼

I went for a swim in the sea in the morning which was absolutely freezing, and we collected s**t lots of amazing beautiful rocks with which I'm not entirely sure what to do yet 🙈🤔 (any ideas, dm me 😅)

To end the day, on our arrival back, we went for a quick dip at the pier, headed home, and this morning my car went to the doctors to get fixed 😅✌️

Another week, another wild camping adventure in Lough Key Woods ❤️🙈

We got the thunder, the heavy rain, the warm sun, all in one, but the shelter we found covered our spot perfectly 👌🏼

We managed to set up the tent, make a fire and even cook some food 😂❤️

Every time I fall in love with nature over and over again 🤯🌳

I thought to make a seperate post for this picture, as this is my favourite 😂 but also this moment was probably one of the most eye opening moments this year.

I sat there for an hour looking left to right, there were sheep in the field, moon on the right reflecting the ocean, sunrise appearing in many colours on the left, the siluouttes of many mountains and coasts.

The water was so still, no wind, no movement, the only sounds were the little birds chirping away, it was like the time has stopped for a while, and with that, so has my mind

I took my time to take it all in.
Feel my breathing, hear the sounds around me, it has made me think of everyone and anyone that means or ever meant a lot to me, every moment good or bad that ever happened.

It made me realise how small I felt on that mountain sitting alone among the sheep 😂 surrounded by the most wonderful symbolics of the earth, it was that perfect moment in life.

When I'm old and grumpy I want to watch the sunrise from the highest point my body will get me to, and to then remember exactly todays moment, being young, full of opportunities, full of potential.

I've been on quiet a good journey these past few months, but moments like this, is what keeps me motivated. Be the change this world needs and love yourself even when the whole world is against you.

The longest Saturday in a while ❤️🙈 I decided to drive to Keem Bay and camp in my car, shortly after 10pm I arrived, it took me nearly four hours as I was admiring the sunset views on the way.

i didn't get to sleep as I was too excited for my 3am hike up the mountain for the sunrise, which was worth absolutely every bit of tiredness in me right now 🙈

This trip I'd call a night adventure 🤔 as I was on the road back home at 9am.

Successful sunset & sunrise meet and greet 😂🌅

What a weekend, what a trip ❤️

An early road trip around the Island of Achil.

We took a detour by the cliffside for some cool shots before heading to Keel Beach.

I surfed, which is something I never thought I'd accomplish, I loved every bit of it, and at one point in the water I thought to myself "no way this is happening for real" 😂

I'm thankful to those people that pushed me to achieve my dreams and face some of my fears, thank you 🥰

Weekend successful ✅
