🍀 Ireland Trip Is LIVE — Save Your Spot!


Hello friends!

Our Ireland trip is officially live and ready to book!

🎉 Chris and I are hosting a group trip from April 13–20, 2026, and I’d love for you to come with us!

Here’s a peek at what’s in store:

🍻 Kick things off in Dublin’s iconic pub scene
🏰 Stay in a real 12th-century castle (yes, really!)
⛰️ Hike to medieval ruins and soak up the countryside
🌊 Take in the jaw-dropping views at the Cliffs of Moher
🌈 Explore the colorful, charming streets of Cork
🍽️ Enjoy thoughtful meals, epic views, and zero planning stress

Because guess what - it’s all included in the price (yes, most meals and drinks, too)!!

As part of my email community, you’re getting first access—claim dibs on a spot before anyone else!

🎥 I put together a video that walks you through the full trip—what we’re doing, where we’re going, and why it’s going to be amazing.

Watch it here now (because it doesn't go live until later today)

Spots are limited, but you can hold one for free while you decide.

Let’s make some memories (and meet in real life 👋🏻)

See you in Ireland 🍀
