This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go I chat with an extraordinary woman named Kaila.

This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go we meet Kevin Adams, co-owner and founder of Walking Food Tours in Dublin, Ireland. Kevin gives us a peek behind the Guinness Factory doors where he worked before he & his wife created a walking food tour company during the pandemic to support their community. We also chat about how we met (it's a wild one!), the importance of stories & appreciating history, & why the Irish put vinegar on chips (thick fries).
