Freezing in an Irish Cove… and Other Slow-Travel Luxuries
For the last six weeks, I’ve been renting a cottage on the southeast tip of Ireland.
It’s in a picturesque village called Dunmore East, one of those secret seaside havens only the Irish—and a few suspiciously regarded Brits—seem to know about.
With its measured pace, astonishingly friendly people, and rolling, languid stretches of green, Ireland has become a welcome retreat from my sunburnt Florida home and the lunacy of life in the States.
When you have the privilege of going abroad for more than a week’s holiday, you have time to discover tucked away haunts… bizarre and delightful customs… and a few latent talents you never knew you had.
For example… I’ve learned to drive on the left without hitting a cow.
I’ve joined in the morning ritual of “going for a dip” in a 45 F sea (a fabulous if bonkers way to make Irish friends).
I’ve gone kayaking along dramatic cliff coves and learned loads of local expressions, like “it’s grand” (wonderful to bloody awful, depending on tone).
I’ve discovered “toasties” (the Irish version of grilled cheese) do NOT go in a toaster.
In the coming months, we’re bringing you new ways to slow travel and experience the same luxury of time—time to reset and take in the world in gorgeous, leisurely bites…
And we’re kicking it off with The Modern Grand Tour, a slow romp through Europe (sans corsets and chaperones) that deftly navigates the Schengen Zone.
We also invite you to meditate in the waterfalls of Japan… take a luxurious spa retreat in the Ecuadorian jungle… and to explore a remarkable town on the Turkish Riviera, where a blissful, low-cost Mediterranean life can still be had.
If a rich overseas life from the comfort of your sofa is more your style, we’ve also included ways to generate passive wealth abroad… one of which our international real estate expert calls “the most lucrative asset on the planet.”
