Throughout my four months abroad in Dublin, it was inevitable that I would feel a little homesick. Luckily, my friends became a second family to me. But, as the holidays rolled around the corner, my family could no longer hold back from visiting me for the first time in months. My parents gathered the troops (my big brother and little sister), and hopped on a red-eye from Boston to Dublin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon their arrival, and a brief period of insurmountable jet-lag, my family was ready for me to show them around Ireland\u2026 and I could not disappoint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I began by bringing them to Howth, a coastal town in Co. Dublin, just a little under an hour bus ride from the city center. This Howth cliff walk is a perfect way to feel the ocean breeze, take a hike with a beautiful view, and explore the quaint town center (with some of the best Fish and Chips).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
