People from all walks of life have come to be in the presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, to listen to his message of a stress free and non-violent global society. A simple man dressed with a smile, and robed in white. [...]

The Gleninchaquin Park is a short drive from Kenmare.  It is a privately owned and working ranch that has been opened to the public, the Inchaqin waterfall is the most striking feature that can be seen for miles.  The neolithic Uragh stone circle is nearby.  I take a walking trail that begins in a sheeps [...]

The Dingle Peninsula is breathtaking, and the day is brilliant!  I sleep soundly at the Castlewood, an immaculately kept guesthouse. The Irish are consummate and instinctual host’s.

Autumn begins the [...]
