Worldwide Backpacker and Adventure Tourism Consultant
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the World Youth and Student Travel Conference in Dublin, but I was very happy that I was allowed to volunteer. While the organisation of the volunteers wasn’t great, and the team of (mostly) apathetic travel and tourism students weren’t the most enthusiastic we covered the tasks we needed […]
Read More WYSTC 2014Stand Up Paddleboarding or SUPing to the pros is a relatively new adaption of the water+board family. Heading down on the DART south of Dublin, I soon arrived at Dun Loaghaire and from the station I was at Aboveboard within a couple minutes. I was greeted by Richard, the Venezuelan who would be guiding around […]
Read More SUPing the Sea – Paddleboarding Dublin – Blog for Isaacs.ieSo it’s coming up to 8 weeks in Dublin, I think I know it well enough to give a fair review. Dublin is cold and wet on the whole – it’s not a place you go to for a summer holiday. It’s also not got a whole load of adventure/adrenalin sports or activities (there’s a […]
Read More Dublin – City of boozeSurfing in Ireland is a surprisingly popular weekend pastime, with van loads of people heading over to the west coast from Dublin each week. I was in one of those vans recently heading to Bundoran and the Turf n Surf lodge. Arriving at the lodge only a few hours after leaving Dublin was like arriving […]
Read More Surf Ireland – Blog for Isaacs.ieSometimes the Irish weather can get the best of us – but with these Indoor Adventures you’ll be getting your adrenalin fix in no time! Bouldering is very similar to Rock Climbing, you still climb up walls, but these walls are a maximum of 4.5 meters high, and there’s some lovely big cushions at the […]
Read More Indoor Adventures – Bouldering and Trampolining – Blog for Isaacs.ieOne thing that I learnt while away: Make the most of all opportunities. It’s easy to be too budget, or safety, conscious these days, especially when you’re travelling around. But we can’t take anything with us, so let’s enjoy everything we can while we’re alive (but don’t be a dick). Working as a travel agent […]
Read More OpportunitiesIf the history of Irish religion is something you’re interested in, then Dublin surely is the best place for you. Along with the famous sight of Christchurch Cathedral, there’s hundreds of other little spots that can hold your fascination. The first of these is the resting place of St Valentines remains, the Carmelite Whitefriars Street […]
Read More Religious Remains – Irish Religion; St Patricks, St Valentines & Christchurch – Blog for Jacobsinn.comSeconds away from Jacobs Inn is Connolly Station, with the DART line – but where does the DART go? Well simply enough, it heads along the east coast, both north and south of the city. SOUTH Heading out of Dublin south will treat you some incredible coastal views. Once you get through the sprawl of […]
Read More Where Does The DART Go? Blog for Jacobsinn.comSounds like a crazy idea – but until you’ve tried Urban Wakeboarding you’ll have no idea how great it can be. Wakedock is located in the Central Canal, just 5 mins from the DART station and 20mins walk from the hostel. The day we headed down was sunny with little wind, after introductions and instructions […]
Read More Urban Wakeboarding in Dublin – Blog for Isaacs.ieDay 1 An earlyish start lead us out into a completely deserted Belfast, the religious roots still mean that the city centre is shut up until 1pm on a Sunday. Moving on to our first stop, Shanes Castle, just half hour away to check out some more Game of Thrones filming locations. When we arrived we […]
