My 10 Favorite Tips for Stress-Free Blogging

  “I’m a little high-strung.” Recently, on a way-too-long roadtrip from Pennsylvania to Alabama, I found myself saying this to my boyfriend and co-pilot as we were navigating through heavy traffic on a four-lane highway.

Travel Blog Exchange: Failte Ireland Says Thanks

Fáilte Ireland would like to thank the Travel Blog Exchange for bringing the TBEX Europe 2013 conference to Ireland this year. We were delighted to host it and thrilled to meet all of those who attended over the past few days.

Dublin is a busy conference destination and it was important for us, as the national tourism development authority, to be able to not only extend a céad mile fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes) to you but to also be able to provide each of you with unique and exhilarating experiences of Dublin and Ireland while you were here. We hope that those of you who attended the Fáilte Ireland Welcome Party last Wednesday night, and indeed those of you that took part in our trips around Ireland and across Dublin, experienced the culture and hospitality that Ireland is famous for.

There are many places to find the music – just about any pub will, if they don’t have music themselves, know where the nearby sources are. My advice is to go off the beaten path. Ask your B&B hosts for the best local spot; go to a local pub which might have a traditional seisiún.
