Dublin, for me, was in every sense of the word: magical. I had always wanted to go to Ireland but year after year, failed to find someone to go with me over Christmas break. I finally decided that I wasn't going to allow this to keep me from exploring the world so I packed my bags and went completely by myself, knowing no one in the country. I had no idea how to catch a bus, a cab, or travel solo internationally but I learned as I went and had the time of my life. From joining a pub crawl with 11 Brazilian-turned Irish girls, to going to dinner with a street artist in a double decker bus-turned pizza parlor, Dublin provided the most once in a lifetime experiences. Read my lists and agendas that I have put together in order to maximize your trip in this enchanting city.
