Emotions are all on a spectrum: If your feeling awe you cannot experience fear. That’s because fear is the far negative side of the same emotional wavelength. If you feel gratitude, sadness will be off in the distance. Visible but not experiential. But it’s important to remember that, with greater intensity of emotion, they can shift faster in response to stimuli. That’s why stoicism is so valuable, it acts like a safeguard to greater levels of intensity of emotion because of the nature of stoic thought patterns. But the tradeoff is you don’t get higher states of bliss and happiness either. That is why I recommend a shift in worldview to sincerity over seriousness. Even the worst and best things you shouldn’t take seriously, but experience them with the utmost sincerity. Guard your thoughts and be mindful of your self talk.

We lived in the lighthouse keeper's house attached to the desolate Arranmore lighthouse with books of Irish ghost stories to keep us company.(it was listed on Airbnb at that time). Every part of the island has so much history associated with it. The monument you saw wasn't to Nova Scotia in Canada. It's a monument to Beaver Island in Michigan where many early Irish immigrants set up a community.

Hi Tommy, I was delighted and surprised to see that you had a new video in Ireland. I live in Galway and I became obsessed with your videos about 6 months ago. I first came across one of your videos by chance, I believe it was crossing over the border from Uganda to Kenya (I think) and I was instantly addicted to your videos and I came obsessed for the next couple of months. I was getting all my entertainment after work from your videos and adventures and I was telling all my friends and work colleagues about them. I had never been into travel videos before. But your videos were more appealing to me because not only do you describe the countries in detail, you also interact with the locals and don't just go to the touristic areas which for me makes your analysis of places more real and authentic and therefore more entertaining/exciting. I am free for the next 2 days. I don't know if you've been to Galway city yet but I would love to meet you. For a pint, a coffee or for a walk around Galway city. You have become somewhat of a superstar to me over the last few months. I wish you well in all your future adventures and may you continue to travel and be safe ♥️

The Craic ! My mums family escaped the famine and ended up in America, her parents were killed when she was eight and a custody battle ensued. The upshot was she was put on a transatlantic steamer under the care of the captain to begin a life in Liverpool with my great aunts who she had never met before. The city then became the object of Luftwaffe bombing and she was evacuated to Wales. After the war she returned to the US to work, but came back to the uk later, met and married my father. She was an only child , one aunt in the states with mh issues and no children. Her liverpool aunts died when I was young having no kids as well...and since my mum had early onset Alzheimers I have an Irish heritage thats been lost to me .

You really should see an expert on ancestry and genealogy. All you need to go back as far as you can, get a name, dob and where they were born. I did that, and was fckn flabbergasted with the info he'd discovered. It's so unbelievable, I don't think anyone would believe it. My own Ma didn't believe it, even with the photocopies I showed her. A big family, same Christian names down through all those generations and are still there. Considering Ireland was still intact and there was only a handful of counties. I got right back to 1815 with my Paternal Granda's G, G, Grandmother. She had 11 children, in a two room 'house', Husband died, 1 son, Matthew had to be isolated from his siblings with a highly contagious disease. All the others survived, and Bridget lived until she was 96. I know it's hard to believe that a 'single Mother' could do all of that throughout all depravation the English bestowed on us. There was enough food in Ireland at that particular time, it was the spud destroyed, everything else was shipped elsewhere by the English. BTW Tommy, Ireland gained it's hard-fought-for Independence in 1922, not 1949.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪.

A lot of people, and I’m not saying this is the case in your husband’s family, think their family was from Cork because they sailed from Cork. But Cork was one of the major ports and people from all over Ireland sailed from there. I think it’s much more likely they came from the north west. Roscommon or Leitrim etc.

Im from Philadelphia and the Irish still raise money for Irish Northern Aid. My father came to the US because he was a Catholic and that kept him out of college. I believe that was in the 1950's. I still have a bad feeling for the Brits. I loved when they sang Lizzy is in a box.

Indeed Ireland does have jelly fish, just as the U.S. does, its the same ocean Tommy, the town is pronounced Nee-naa, that is the stadium, he was trying in a very bad way to tell you that hill 16 which is where the people were murdered is that direction, the Stadium has 3 stands and hill 16, which after the stadium was re-built, hill 16 remained. Welcome home Tommy, I am many others would have loved to meet you for a pint and show you around.

I haven't watched you for several months, so it's nice to see your clips again. I think you are the best of the pack who make similar travel clips. I say this because you take the time to research wherever it is you are reporting from. Your camera work is great, no odd 360 degree quirky visuals. You interact with locals without tryng to surprise them with your language skills. You come off as totally respectful to all, you're not a heavy partier and you don't hire prostitutes to be your guides. You seem to genuinely love your work. The reactions and many smiles you get from those you interact with are a refreshing treat, every time. I love that you go to off the beaten trail locations, I've done that myself in Mexico and Brasil, many times. I may be moving to Brasil in the next year, now that trump is at the helm, again. Brasil comes with its own set of challenges, but I will welcome them over what we are likely going to be facing here in the untied states of amerikaka in short order. Peace to you, brother. Best regards from Brunswick, Maine. 😊

The way Sabbatical speaks reminds me /exactly/ of the guys I grew up with. I almost wonder if he somehow is ahahaha. When he told that Irish man "my bad" or when he walked past the goat pissing near the bench and said "Do your thing, bro" reminded me of myself. Sabbatical doesn't put on heirs and is just "himself" regardless of who he's speaking to and i really appreciate that hahaha. I want to kick it with this dude.

A massive part of cultural education is travel. Tommy has broad experience and knowledge of culture through travel. Unfortunately our US friends work far more with less holidays and I will in my own experience is that Aussies tend to stay home for trips. Obviously overseas is expensive for most continental countries for families etc. My own experience of southern states is the people have an insular view of everything.

Thanks for another wonderful video and introduction to Ireland, Your microphone is working very nicely now. Don't forget to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina on your way, I think it would be an extremely tempting destination for you. From natural beauties such as rivers, lakes, mountains, waterfalls, as well as a very good gastronomic offer. Here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the food is one of the most beautiful and delicious. Many things are done by hand and naturally, not by machine. The junction of east and west in our capital, Sarajevo. Different architecture in one place in one city. Catholic Church Orthodox Church Synagogue and Mosque within a radius of 300 meters shows a great diversity in religious affiliations, and also speaks of a unique place where everyone lives in harmony without walls fenced off from others. The war of 1992-1995 of course caused many scars, but you can still see today the kindness of these people here, ordinary citizens and passers-by. The thousand-year history is another interesting review where we have written records from the Roman Empire and proof of the existence of this state in the distant past. as well as the Illyrian people, one of the oldest nations in Europe, through modern haplogroup tests it shows that people have been settled here for a long time in the heart of Europe, it is a very interesting event in history when Europeans accepted Islam en masse and the reasons why it happened, Everything it is located in one place in Bosnia and Herzegovina and much more. Well, if you have the opportunity, it would be nice to visit Bosnia. I wish you all the best and may God protect you on your travels!

I studied in Limerick (UL) in 1997 for six months as an Erasmus exchange student. The locals called the town "Stab City" due to its criminal reputation. I had nothing to complain what so ever.

Craic so sounds like welsh word🏴, but so interesting how irish welsh have sane dna celt, so to compare languages is great, hwyl is craic in welsh Hwyl. A little like the Irish word 'craic', the Welsh word hwyl is used to express a stirring sensation, fervour, emotion, motivation, and enthusiasm.
