With just a backpack as a home, a guidebook in one hand, a bizarre travelogue in the other and very little money in his bank account, Ian leaves his home and sets off to the little country of Ireland that has always been his neighbour, yet overlooked by him for many years as he pursued dreams to travel to far and exotic countries. This is the story of one man's journey to a not so distant land.
