One of our volunteers told me her 80-year old godmother did it around Ireland! Makes sense ’cause it’s great for the single traveler or anyone on a budget.

I have to admit, until recently I too thought of hotels as “some sort of homeless shelters in the bad part of town” or something exclusively for students.
