When did you last take a roadtrip and where did you go?

If you have come this far in life and have yet to take a great American road trip, let this be your hint.

Road trips are the perfect way to escape the everyday humdrum of work life, get some distance from crowds, and see your big ‘ol backyard in a whole new light.

Fun fact: there are approximately 4,071,000 miles of drivable roads in the United States.

And to take that even further, 4.3 million of those are paved and nearly 1.4 million of those are waiting for an off-roading warrior like yourself.

A national park is a great way to break yourself into roadtripping, and with Grand Teton National park’s navigable route (roundtrip from Jackson Hole, Wyoming), you’ll wish you had hit the road sooner.

What is your favorite outdoor inspired book? Did you know that was an actual genre of literature?

Iconic author Henry David Thoreau was likely inspired by serene scenes like this when he wrote his most famous novel “Walden”, more commonly known as “Life in the Woods.”

His novel was a commentary on living the simple life, in the forest, but more importantly, it was an unofficial manual for self-reliance.

America is bursting with picturesque lakes, whimsical woods, misty mountains and inviting hiking trails. So grab a good book, or load up your kindle, the great outdoors is a great place to bring stories to life.

Small Irish villages shouldn’t be missed if you’re looking for authentic local culture and connections

Ireland has several distinct regional cultures rather than a single national one; moreover, the daily lives of city dwellers are, in some ways, much different from those living in the countryside.

For example, Dublin is one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities, whereas the Blasket Islands of Di**le Bay, off Ireland’s southwestern coast, seems almost a throwback to earlier centuries.

The Irish maintain a vibrant and lively folk culture.

Many engage in a variety of craft-based industries, producing items such as glass, ceramics, ironwork, wood-turning, linens, embroidery, and knitwear.

The Irish pub serves as a focal point for many small villages and urban neighborhoods, a place where the great Irish passion for conversation, stories, and jokes comes to life.

What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done on vacation?

Is it jumping out of a plane? River rafting? What about glacier trekking?

If you’re a thrill seeker, head to Big Four Mountain in the Cascades, a mere two hour drive from Seattle, and check out the Big Four Ice Caves.

Because these epic caves remain in the shade, they can be visited all year round, though summer is the most unstable time to visit.

The trail to the caves is only 3 miles long, and with pristine cascading waterfalls along the way, this is an outdoor adventure you won’t want to miss.

Comment below, "scariest thing" you have ever done on vacation?!

Solo travel in Ireland allows you to reconnect with yourself and the great outdoors

From lush glens and magical canal banks, to daredevil cliff paths, and quaint city quarter, Ireland has got you covered for walks and hikes.

Being an island, Ireland naturally offers unique opportunities for coastal walks.

The Wild Atlantic Way and Causeway Coast are stand-out locations.

Still, don't overlook the likes of the stunning Beara, Di**le, and Inishowen Peninsulas, each nicely varied with mountainous paths for adventurous souls, as well as gentler terrain.

There's also the Copper Coast in the southeast, a breathtaking shoreline of cliffs, coves, and sea stacks, named after the mining industry that once prospered there.

Special mention, too, for the hilly routes around Achill Island, County Mayo.

Picture this: You’re driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, top-down, music up, with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean at every turn. Sounds pretty sweet, right?

The California Coastline is filled with idyllic stretches of beaches, but none more iconic than Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara.

California palm trees line the road giving you the ultimate southern California vibe.

Along this stretch of the coast, you’ll see people out and about, biking, surfing, and walking the beaches.

Make a pit stop in Santa Barbara for lunch at a local restaurant or rent bikes and bike along the 4.5-mile path that connects Leadbetter Beach to Butterfly Beach in Montecito.

Sounds like a perfect day on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Explore Ireland via city and village walking tours with local expert guides

A historical walking tour is a must for a city like Dublin that wears on its sleeve a great deal of history, spanning from the times of Viking settlement to modern days.

Combine education with recreation on the entertaining crawl through Dublin's pubs that have inspired great Irish writers.

A walking tour is an excellent introduction to Dublin's rich literary heritage with a chance to enjoy a few pints along the way.

Pedal your way around Dublin on a guided bike tour to feel the city's energy and unique atmosphere.

See its excellent sights while stopping at some of them for a bit of rest, watching the surroundings, and learning much about the city's history.

It's not every day that you see a waterfall that flows directly into the ocean.

In the heart of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is the McWay Falls.

This 80-foot waterfall flows out from the granite rock into the sea below.

For any travelers driving along Highway 1, it is quick and easy to see McWay Falls.

There is an overlook just off the highway where you can safely pull over to take in the view.

For travelers with a little more time on their hands, there are plenty of trails that will bring you incredible vantage points for viewing the falls.

While the beach down below might look enticing, don’t pack a bathing suit just yet.

It’s virtually impossible to get to, but don’t worry, there are plenty of others nearby!

Without cheating, where is the ‘quietest national park’ in the United States?

Looking for an outdoor escape where the crowds are thin, the skies are protected by the International Dark Sky Association, and the sands quite literally ‘hum’ a symphony?

Grand Sand Dunes National Park is one of America’s most underrated natural attractions.

For over 11,000 years, people have called North America’s highest sand dunes home. It’s not only towering dunes that bring desert enthusiasts.

The alpine tundra play host to beautiful wildflowers, picturesque shrublands, bighorn sheep, and myriad bird species

Let's get you out to the Grand Sand Dunes National Park!

Dolmens - symbols of Ireland
There are about 190 dolmens in Ireland, and they are our most recognizable type of megalithic monument.

Dolmens are known by many different names: cromlechs, Giants Graves, Diarmuid and Grainne's Beds, and stone tables.

Dolmens generally have an entrance feature, the 'portal,' although a blocking stone often closes this.

The most characteristic feature is a massive roof stone, weighing tons and inclined at an angle with the highest part over the entrance.

Portal dolmens are known as Irish mythological stories and folklore.

Most dolmens are covered with mounds of stone, but little remains of these cairns at most sites.

The impressive structures we see today are like the skeletons of the monuments.
