"I strongly believe
that many people would learn much more about their lives in general by simply going to
Ireland, having a few pints, chatting with friends and thinking about themselves from an
outside perspective.
I know I have."
Patrick White |

"Ireland is a
beautiful country. The people welcome you with open arms and are genuinely interested in
hearing what we have to say."

"My
homestay was worth more than I could ever say. My host lady, whom I now refer to as
Mom, not only became my mother figure, but also my friend. She is the most
generous individual I have encountered. I feel that I have made a lifetime
best friend."
