Travel in Thin Places

Every tourist should have a map of Ireland even if he or she is on a coach tour. A map offers two purposes that enhance the traveling experience.

In this video, Mindie Burgoyne gives advice on choosing the best map for your Ireland trip.

1. Planning – You need a map to either plan whether you’re doing a self-drive trip to Ireland or joining a trip with a pre-planned itinerary.  Getting the geographic perspective before you go is so important to the overall travel experience.
2. Understanding the geographic perspective once you’re in Ireland. Being able to know where you are and where you’re going enriches the travel experience and helps you to remember more.

Don’t get a road map to help you navigate a self-drive tour. Rent a “Sat-nav” known by us in the States as a GPS. They are invaluable for out-of-country drivers.
