A Real Irish Pub Crawl (in Ireland, they just call 'em pubs)

A Real Irish Pub Crawl (in Ireland, they just call 'em pubs)

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, your GypsyNesters take a look at some real Irish pubs, you know, the kind actually in Ireland—so we suppose that they're simply called pubs.

We're guessing none of these public houses would ever dare to ruin a perfectly good pint by turning it green... CONTINUE READING >>



We Ruined Ourselves in Osaka, Japan

Kuidaore, a Japanese word meaning "to ruin yourself with extravagant food," has become synonymous with the city of Osaka.

Doing Dublin... and Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!


Doing Dublin in Double Time

We didn’t have a pot full o’ time to discover Dublin, we had but a day to discover her charms. 

But we made the most of this fair city - we learned how to pour a perfect pint at the Guinness Academy, stormed her castle, ate native food, made a daring escape, and took a peek at Molly Malone (where exactly was David looking?)... CONTINUE READING >>

Ever Wonder How Our Adventure Began? Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!


Have you ever wondered how we met? 

A one-night stand (not ours!), a beat-up old (heavy metal) car named the Sharkmobile, and the US Postal Service delivered a one-three punch we couldn't ignore.

It might not be the most romantic story and, the odds most definitely were NOT in our favor, but... CONTINUE READING >>

Is the Food Good in Ireland?... and Our Life Reimagined

Is the Food Good in Ireland?
Before arriving on the Emerald Isle, our idea of eating in Ireland fell in the corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, meat and potatoes line of thinking.

Nothing wrong with that, we love a good, hearty meal as much as the next guy, but out on the wild western edge of the island they’ve been cooking up something very different... CONTINUE READING >>

Meet Veronica at Women of Woodstock!


I wrote extensively about my first experience at Women at Woodstock last year, about how I agreed to go -- kicking and screaming a bit -- and the immediate benefits I received by attending.
It's been an incredible year for me and the women I met at WAW have been supporting me all the way!

 I'll be speaking at this year's main event, and I would love for you to join me there! Click in to see for yourself how WAW can change your life!

Living on the Edge of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way... and Beijing's Summer Palace

Where is the edge of the world?

In the literal sense there obviously cannot be one on this sphere we inhabit, but figuratively, and also in a very real way, several spots where the last bit of land holds forth against the sea certainly feel like the brink.

The Dingle Peninsula on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way thoroughly captures this sensation... CONTINUE READING >>

Living Like an Empress Dowager at Beijing's Summer Palace
The Summer Palace lies on the northwest edge of Beijing, China by Kunming Lake, in what used to be countryside.
