Surprise Discovery of my Irish Roots on a Van Life Trip in GALWAY, Ireland
Welcome back to our final week in Ireland! It's been an incredible few weeks exploring the south of this country and finally getting to see what all the hype is about on the Wild Atlantic Way! As we begin to explore Galway, our final county of the trip, I make a surprising, and bittersweet discovery.

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (🐶 🐶 ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After spending years exploring Europe and Turkey, we've not long returned from The Americas, where we spent 2 years driving from Alaska to Guatemala. Now we're back on home soil and roaming around on 4 wheels while we decide what the next chapter of our life looks like!
Chesca & Ben
Discover how Chesca and Ben transitioned from overlanding in a Sprinter van to sailing the seven seas aboard their Freedom 40. A deep dive into the technical reality of their 'learning-in-public' maritime journey.
