48 Hours in Dublin Under 500€?
We love a challenge.
Well, maybe it’s more fair to say I, Dawn, love a challenge and I talk Matt into them. Nevertheless…
Over the years we’ve used 30-day challenges to start, or break, habits. We’ve gone 30 days without coffee (that didn’t stick), 30 days without morning tv (that did), and 30 days of 10,000 steps per day (still working on that one). This month we’re challenging ourselves to do two YouTube videos per week as part of another challenge to get monetized on YouTube in our first 90 days.
Like I said, I love a challenge.
I’ve always been a goal-setter and I think challenges are fun.
So when we recently decided to add a couple of extra days onto a work trip to Dublin and film our first-ever travel video for the channel, I decided to make things a little more interesting.
What if we could book two entire days of travel (hotel, meals, sightseeing) under 500 euros? Not very interesting. Ok, well what if we only booked five-star experiences? Five-star hotel, restaurants with five-star reviews, and only the top-rated attractions? And, of course, film the entire experience?
Hmmm, interesting.
We just published our first travel video of 48 hours in Dublin under 500 euros. (If you’ve been around here for a while you already know the behind-the-scenes of this video and why we changed how we travel after this trip.)
Happy adventuring!
Matt + Dawn
P.S. As you’ll see in the video, I guess we really like breakfast. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♀️
This week we had a discussion on our Instagram account about our love of road trips.
