I actually adore NI and the people--I was in Belfast and found, in general, people to be very genuine, fun, witty, charming and hospitable. I stayed with a family there and was made to feel part of it.
I travel not to see things but chat and become acquainted with local people-- listen to THEM, know what they love most in life, what their dreams are, what music they enjoy, what their concerns are... I feel quite humbled to meet wonderful, gracious people where ever I go on the Globe.
Actually, I'd love to live in the UK (England or Scotland) someday.
I feel extremely fortunate that I've a job where I'm afforded time off to travel. And I found, you can go fly cheap! I found some tickets for 300 - 800 USD round trip to Europe, and I use Air Bnb instead of fancy hotels.
Yes, just NI, MLM, but I wish to get to Scotland next year as well as the infamous Birmingham, best borough in the West Midlands!
