We've shared the wonderful Eat Smart Guides with our snsvs before...

I'd like to introduce our New ESL Tips Editor to our snsvs...Eva Buyuksimkesyan and her incredible resource site for ESL teachers: A Journey in TEFL: My Adventure in Teaching. Full of tips, resources, and practical advice, Eva's site is a must-read for ESL teachers. We're lucky and honored that she's our  ESL Tips Editor. Here's what Evan had to share about her site...

WE: Please tell us about your site, A Journey in TEFL...

I'm not an early riser. I see beautiful photographs of sunrises and think, I’ll never do that. And yet.

Language learning is the key to successful travel overseas. We've found a great way to Learn Languages Online (French, for us) with Language Learning Software from Mango Passport.

Foodie Finds: Avoca in Moll's Gap, Co. Kerry, Ireland

We'd driven for hours from Co Clare toward our cottage in Co Kerry. We didn't have any restaurant recommendations in Killarney, but had a great one for Moll's Gap, about a half-hour south-west of Killarney. And, it was halfway to our rental home, Pier Cottage, west of Sneem. So, we held out a little more for the Avoca gift shop and cafe, in Moll's Gap.

Our friends at Irish Fireside have compiled the  75 Best Irish-Interest Articles and Posts of 2010. Publisher Corey Taratuta is our Ireland Editor - if you've not yet delved into Irish Fireside, pour yourself a Guiness and jump on into their site - it's the next best thing to heading to Ireland.

It's the time of year to look back and see what we just LOVED, that inspired or accompanied our travels. Here's a list of our favorite Travel Gift items, the 2010 version - and a few more than ten, it turns out. Here's our baker's dozen + of fantastic, inspirational, wearable, travel-able items: books, technology, music, accessories, clothing, bags, and luggage. We've featured all of them, interviewed the creators/authors, and highly recommend them to our snsvs.

BOOKS

Well. Want to know where we had the VERY BEST fish and chips, hands down, during our recent trip to Ireland and Scotland?
