Travel theme: Woman

With a hat tip to International Women’s Day this past week, here are some woman-centric photos from my travels, starting off with a sculpture of the Irish Goddess Eriu on the Hill of Uisneach.

❤ Ailsa

One is not born a woman, but becomes one. –  Simone de Beauvoir

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world. – Virginia Woolf

There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity. – Washington Irving

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.

    Mmmm… a dangerous topic. Maybe I should just shut-up and go away. You know the old story… can’t live with them… can’t live without them! 😈
