    I have been doing things solo for years, it started off great, but it really starts to build on you that you have all these experiences but no one to share them with or talk about them or reminisc about them. So, for me at least, I’ve basically stopped doing solo trips because they just kind of make me sad at this point.








  • The British didn’t cause the famine, they “just” made it worse.

    And really it’s not even “the british” that are to blame. It was the rich land owners that continued to export the food grown in Ireland in order to make profit and the conservative (well, whig, but they are the spiritual predecessor to the modern conservatives and where politically conservative at the time) government that stopped and aid and refused to ban exporting food out of Ireland as they believed the famine was divine providence.
