For our annual mother-daughter weekend away, TheM0ther and I decided to stay a little closer to home this year and incorporate a weekend in Kilkenny with a stop-off at the New Year’s Resolution event in Tipperary. I have only visited Kilkenny once before over 10 years ago (pre-geocaching!) and I definitely didn’t explore enough of… Read More A Weekend in Kilkenny | The Geocaching Junkie
Who says you have to go to some far flung destination to be a tourist? I moved to Belfast in April 2016 and am still getting to know this amazing wee city that I now call ‘home’. I know there is much more I have yet to see but I’m getting there, slowly. When I… Read More Playing Tourist in Titanic Quarter | The Geocaching Junkie
There are very few places I have visited and thought ‘I’m finished with this place now, I never need to come back.’ Pretty much every country, city and even town I explore leaves me wanting more. However, there are only a few places I have been to that I could say I absolutely fell in… Read More A Day Trip to Snowy Salzburg | The Geocaching Junkie
You know what happens when you travel a lot? You get addicted. You need one more fix. We were back from the U.S. just four weeks when I developed an itch I had to scratch. So where to satisfy my wanderlust in December? Somewhere with amazing Christmas markets of course! Germany was our country destination… Read More Munich’s Magical Christmas Markets | The Geocaching Junkie
A road trip on the Pacific Coast Highway was one of our main targets during our recent US trip. Unfortunately, parts of the highway were closed due to a series of landslides between February and May of this year. Our aim was to drive from San Francisco to San Simeon in a day, stopping off… Read More California Dreaming on the Pacific Coast Highway | The Geocaching Junkie
I’ve been known to hug a tree or two when out geocaching. Just ask some of my geo-friends and they can confirm. They might even show you photographic evidence. I’m also quite partial to remarking on a tree that looks particularly old and impressive. It’ll come as little surprise then that seeing Redwoods was one… Read More Muir Woods is Calling and You Must Go | The Geocaching Junkie
When we decided to add a weekend in San Francisco to our USA trip, there was one thing we both agreed was top of our must-see list: Alcatraz Island. ‘The Rock’, as it’s often called, sits 1.25 miles offshore in San Francisco Bay. The infamous ‘inescapable’ prison is synonymous with the city and is rated… Read More Exploring Alcatraz Island | The Geocaching Junkie
In addition to the timely reactivation of the Project A.P.E. cache in Washington, which meant I could add a new cache type to my stats, there was another serendipitous event while we were in the U.S.A: the Geocoinfest mega was taking place in Long Beach! The muggle was, as you might expect, skeptical when I… Read More The Queen Mary and Geocoinfest 2017 | The Geocaching Junkie
In January this year, at a time when the muggle and I were still weighing up our options for our honeymoon, and overwhelmed by the sheer number of places we both wanted to visit, I happened to chat with Wild Rover at an event and mentioned our dilemma. He highly recommended taking the train from Seattle… Read More Great American Train Journey: 22 Hours on the Rails | The Geocaching Junkie
If you’re a geocacher visiting Seattle for the first time, chances are you’re going to Geocaching HQ, and if that wasn’t in your plans, it really should be if you can. I’ve been to HQ twice now and loved it on both occasions. You can read all about my first trip there in this post. The… Read More 8 Places You Should Really Visit in Seattle | The Geocaching Junkie
