When Kevin and I started planning our UK & Ireland trip, I knew I would have a hard time deciding what to put in our itinerary — I’d studied abroad in both England and Ireland, so I knew there were so many must-dos for Kevin’s first trip!

We had a lot to decide: Where should we stay, can we do multiple cities, how many days do we need, can we fit it all in?

If you have all these same overwhelming questions, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a tried-and-true itinerary that I’ve personally done myself (and have sent to so many friends and family members who want to take the trip themselves!).

I’ve done all the planning so you don’t have to. That’s right — no more stressing about where to go and how much you can fit into 9 days. Let me be your virtual tour guide and bring you all the info you need for a perfect trip.
