The Rambling Irishman In Spain

The Rambling Irishman In Spain

Solo Travelling On A Budget / Tips - Advise - Adventures

I STOPPED WORKING, SOLD UP, SET OFF TO SEE WHERE LIFE TAKES ME AND MY TWO DOGS MOLLY AND BUSTER

Part 1. I've travelled a lot in my life, now I've started to film it. I plan to end up in Thailand but I'm on a budget and want to try other things before I settle so I stopped working, sold my home and bought a motorhome and travelled around Europe for a while, I had a great time but eventually started to get bored.

Part 2. I'm selling the van, buying a car and driving to France or Spain initially and I intend to rent an apartment and explore for a while and then move on to the next country. Oh, I didn't say, I have two dogs, Molly and Buster....my companions.

Part 3. I've returned home to look after my sick dad. Still making videos and looking forward to the next stage of my travels.

I would love you to come along on my journey.

UNFORTUNATELY AT THE MOMENT I AM NOT DOING MEET-UPS. I MAY DO SO AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

    If flying a plane is on your list, you might like to check out New Horizons Microlighting in Benicolet (near where you did your bungee jump I think). He is a UK instructor and has been based i Spain for many years now I believe. He gives lessons and pleasure flights in a fixed-wing closed-cockpit microlight and an open cockpit wind-in-the-hair microlight also.
