Hello there! Living in County Carlow , that's in the south-east of Ireland .
Travels
The way I see it is that we've only got a short while on this planet... we may as well see as much of it as we can. Wouldn't be on Wikivoyage if I didn't love travelling, so I'm in the process of making up for years of neglect in that department. Here's where I've been:
2006-2008
8 - 12 February, 2006: Munich , Germany and Salzburg , Austria (school trip).10 - 14 April, 2006: Salou , Montserrat and Barcelona , North-east Spain (school trip).8 - 13 August, 2006: Paris , France (family trip).9 - 13 April, 2007: Prague , Czech Republic (family trip).6 - 13 June, 2007: Rome (and Vatican City , Pompeii , Lido di Ostia and Naples , Italy ) (family trip).
2009-2010
20 - 22 February, 2009: Stockholm , Sweden (college trip).1 - 4 June, 2009: Aberystwyth , Wales and Birmingham , England (family trip).9 - 11 October, 2009: Aberystwyth , Wales (family trip).9 - 13 February, 2010: Budapest , Hungary (college trip).5 - 9 June, 2010: Aberystwyth and Swansea , Wales (family trip).10 - 12 September, 2010: Aberystwyth , Wales (family trip).
2011-
2 - 5 February, 2011: Stockholm , Sweden (college trip).12 - 13 May, 2011: Aberystwyth , Wales (family trip).12 - 14 July, 2011: Aberystwyth , Wales (family trip; brother's graduation).31 October - 4 November, 2011: Aberystwyth , Hay-on-Wye and Cardiff , Wales (family trip).8 - 16 April, 2012: Valencia , Zaragoza and Barcelona , Spain (with friends).2 - 6 July, 2012: Aberystwyth and Cardiff , Wales (family trip).I've been on 24 plane journeys (12x return) and 18 ferry crossings (9x return).
I haven't left Europe.... yet.
While it's true that yes, I really like the place, it also helps that it's where my brother lived from October 2009 to July 2012. More than all the other reasons, that's why I went there so often.
Plans
Going to try something new here and make of list of places I'd like to go to. To begin with there will be some "obvious" choices, but as I think about it more and try to recall other places I've considered over the years the list will grow.
This list isn't in order of preference - it goes first alphabetically by country, then by destination. (Last updated: June 23, 2012)

Got onto the site in August 2006, since then I've gradually pieced together most of the information on the following pages:
A lot of these don't have a lot of information though, but I'm working on it :).
