Touring Ireland on My Own

For the second half of my time in Ireland I hitchhiked around the country staying in hostels and meeting other travelers. While I had spent so much time dreaming of traveling in the US I now found myself spending my days with other travelers from all over the world. (This proved to be one of the best parts of the whole trip, though one that I had not anticipated.) I saw a lot of Ireland in the time that I hitched around, but certain places stand out more than others.
