A digital nomad family on a gap year travel adventure
In July, we largely relied on a rental vehicle to travel around Ireland, with only one flight — from Dublin to London, Stansted en route to Cambridge — during this month. Months with minimal flights always feel a little bit more relaxed, with minimal time …
In June, we divided our time between Provence, France and southern Ireland (outside of Cashel). While we only had one short haul Ryanair flight this month from Marseille to Dublin, it was low cost and did not overly impact our spending. Based on the locations …
