I was talking to a friend the other day and said it was hard to believe that I went to Ireland at the beginning of this year. It feels like it was 10 years ago! After our chat, I was inspired to take a look back at my year in travel and thought I’d share it here with you! March – Ireland I kicked off the year with a trip to Ireland with my friend Claudia. We tossed around several ideas for this late winter/early spring trip, initially thinking about a beachy escape, but found cheap flights to Ireland and pulled the trigger, despite it being the off-season!

Qatar Stopover on Qatar Airways
I’m all about making the most of a trip and seeing as many new places as possible, so I was super excited to hear about the Qatar Airways stopover package! From now through the end of 2024 (and hopefully, the program will be extended) you can add a one to four-day stopover in Doha on any Qatar Airways flight. The multi-day stopover packages are priced based on the hotel you stay at and four-star hotels start at just $14 per person per night double occupancy!
