I don’t know
any teenager who doesn’t have a list of journeys. Places they have to go before
they get caught up in life and tied down to a house and a job. In that brief
time between Secondary School and College, the world is their oyster, and they
could go anywhere, be anyone.
If you have
a serious conversation with any teenager, their journey will eventually come
out. I don’t know anyone who has no interest in exploring the world beyond
cold, wet Ireland. I count myself firmly within that majority, if not
universal, group who need to see some of the world before it gets buried
beneath boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, children, houses and jobs.
