Attempting Local: A Year Abroad in Galway, Ireland (Paperback Edition)
Attempting Local follows Cullan McNamara's journey as he explores Ireland, surfs the waves of the North Atlantic, hikes the country's rugged mountains, and travels throughout Europe... all while striving toward a master's degree. It’s an extremely honest account of how tough it can be to leave everything behind and move abroad, though it simultaneously demonstrates the beauty of a life of solo travel.
This inspiring travelogue was written for vagabonds, travelers, and for all those who've dreamed of experiencing life elsewhere. Most importantly, it's for the brave souls that desire to push beyond tourism in pursuit of something greater.
So open the book, and get to it. Sip a Guinness in one of Galway's charming pubs. Visit a new friend in the suburbs of London, England. Immerse yourself in a cultural festival on the small island of Malta. Stroll under the colorful portici that cover the walkways of Bologna, Italy. And meet the life-changing people Cullan encounters along the way.
