“My favorite is probably the Republic of Ireland because coming this October [2018] it’ll be my fifth trip there. I’m traveling with my mom and it’ll be her third. She’s a good travel buddy to have because we don’t have to compromise on anything, we want to do the same things. So it’s just really easy to travel.
We try not to do touristy things because we feel the touristy things will just be a face mask of what the actual culture is like it’s just showing you like the most flashy parts of the culture but not the true culture. Of course, if it’s our first time to a city, like Paris, we see all the big sights that the tourists go see which is usually around other tourists and not locals. But we really try to make it a goal of ours to do what the locals do for fun in the cities, like what a local would do as a vacation in their city. Like in Dublin we like to go off the main path and find the local restaurants, do some of the local sightseeing away from the tourists to get a real knowledge of the culture.”
