There's No Place Like Home

It doesn't matter where you live or what you like to do with your spare time, there's always something to do at home which will catch your eye. For me, it's music festivals. 

Oxegen is regarded as one of the world's best music festivals. It takes place every year in Punchestown, Naas. People travel from all over the world to see the headlining acts. From Kings of Leon to Calvin Harris, The Who to Rizzle Kicks, artists are travelling from every corner of the globe to entertain those lucky few who manage to get their hands on the gold-dust tickets. If, like me, you are Irish, then you don't have far to travel for a weekend of crazy fun. I mean, let's face it, Ireland isn't a huge island after all. Just grab your friends, pack your wellies and off you go!

If you aren't Irish though, don't feel as though you're missing out! A majority of the people visiting the festival decide to camp there, just bring along a tent and you're set. If you prefer the commodities of a hotel but don't want to miss out on the action then why not try 'glam-ping'; a new fad which is a more luxurious form of camping.

Despite Ireland's (quite accurate) reputation for being rainy and mucky, hundreds of people, young and old alike, brave the elements to kick back and have a weekend they won't forget! Besides, there's no age limit on fun and music! (but there is an age restriction of 18+)

Last year over 50,000 people visited Oxegen music festival and, I can only imagine, had an experience which they will never forget! My hope is that one day, I will get to join them and kick back and have fun without leaving the country.
