Episode 170: Our Two Week Irish Adventure: What We Did, What We Spent - Part 1

What does a two–week trip to Ireland really cost—and how do you plan for it without blowing your budget? 🌍✈️

In this two episode series, I take you behind the scenes of our recent two–week adventure across Ireland. From castle stays and scenic drives to cozy B&Bs and once–in–a–lifetime experiences (like a hawk walk at Ashford Castle), I share exactly how I planned the trip, the financial choices we made, and a detailed breakdown of what we spent.

 

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

How I booked flights (and rebooked to save money!) as upgraded to Polaris Business Class

Why we splurged on castle stays—and where we saved with B&Bs and groceries

The cost of rental cars, gas, ferries, and tolls while road-tripping through Ireland

Our favorite activities (from historic castles to Irish music pubs) and how much they cost

A full budget breakdown: lodging, transportation, food, and entertainment

How my pre-trip spending plan compared to what we actually spent

 

Whether you’re dreaming of Ireland, planning your own European getaway, or just curious about the real costs of international travel, this episode will give you both inspiration and practical money insights.
