Mini Travel Journals – Volume One: Donegal a bus by the beach
Sometimes the best journeys are the ones closest to home.
Donegal: The Bus by the Beach follows a rare child-free weekend escape to Ireland’s northwest — two nights in a bright yellow bus on the edge of the Wild Atlantic. From wind-swept beaches to Malin Head, this short travel journal captures the quiet joy of slowing down, living by the sea, and rediscovering the small moments that often get lost in everyday life.
Told through words and photographs, this mini travel journal reflects on how travel doesn’t always require grand distances. Sometimes all you need is a coastline, a change of pace, and the space to breathe again.
It’s a gentle reminder that adventure can be found just a few hours from home.
Whether you know Donegal well or are discovering it for the first time, this book offers a warm, personal glimpse into one of Ireland’s most rugged and soulful regions.
