Guess who’s back? Yes, it’s true! While I’m very sad to leave Europe and all of it’s crazy ways, I’m also happy to say that I’ll be able to sleep in my own comfy bed (after sleeping in more than 28 different beds across Europe), eat a nice fat American cheese burger with a side of fries not “chips”, drive my car again for the first time in three months and most of all be home to celebrate my mothers birthday with her. I won’t tell you how old she’ll be next week, but I will tell you that it’s a BIG one!

I’ve just returned from an amazing three month trip to Europe which allowed me to visit over 38 cities in 14 different countries during my stay. The things that I’ve seen, and experienced over the last three months cannot be justified in words, or photos.

My trip to Europe was a trip of a lifetime. It is something that many dream of, and an experience that most never get to live out. This trip has truly changed me as a person and my general outlook like on life. I’m now returning with the a mind that is far more open than I thought it ever could be. Continue Story… »

I know, I know… I’m a little behind when it comes to the Video section here on PTM. I know I had quite a few fans of the video section and unfortunately with the speeds of the broadband internet here it’s been really difficult to upload them! Most of my videos are more than 50MB in size, so it tends to take forever to upload on european broadband therefore my Videos section of the site has been slacking… BIG TIME!

In the mean time you can view all of my videos here (Revver: PauseTheMoment’s Videos). I’ll be uploading more over the next week or two, so make sure you check back often.

I know I’m really asking for it by posting this link, but take a quick look at this link below. Some of these stories are an absolute riot.

Why American’s should never be allowed to travel

Enjoy!

My uncle and I headed into the city to run some errands for my grandmother who lives one block from O’Connell Street in Dublin City Center. Quite convenient huh? As we were walking down to the bank we walked by this statue of a hand that is behind these tall black gates that are usually locked.

So, I know today’s Friday and everyone’s struggling to get through one more day of work before the weekend. I feel your pain! Or do I?

Well, I just happened to stumble across this really cool website called Pictures From the Sky and I thought I would share it with everyone. Hopefully I’m not the reason that your companies productivity is down today…

Enjoy!

Imagine showing up to your destination, lets just say it’s Cottonwood, Idaho. Why you would ever visit Cottonwood, Idaho is beyond me but for argument’s sake let’s just say that you’ve always wanted to travel there. Well, why check into the Best Western when you could be checking into the the Dog Bark Park Inn? It’s “The worlds largest Beagle, offering unique accommodation inside it’s 2 story body.” Hmm…

As most of you know, I’ve spent a lot of time this week updating the site and attempting to make it more user friendly. I’m really excited about the changes that have been made to the site and I’m proud to announce the following NEW Features! Continue Story… »

You know when you book yourself a flight and then you’re prompted to pick your seat? I don’t know about you, but for me this is a daunting task! If you’re like me, you take one look at this airplane seating chart and you think to yourself, well if I sit at the absolute front of the plane I’ll get the most leg room and I’ll be first off of the plane!

Being first off the plane might be great and all, but remember that most parents with infants snag seats right up front too so that they can use the baby trays that are attached to the walls. Believe me, I experienced a six hour scream fest of a flight on my way from Boston to Dublin back in April of 2008 due to a baby sitting across from me. Not cool! Continue Story… »
