Galway Ireland Travel Guide
Galway is a county steeped in culture from Connemara in the west to Ballinasloe in the east. You will find it hard to find a town in County Galway where no historical event or celebration has taken place. Each has its own interesting story to tell.
My name is Morgan and I love my home city and county of Galway here in Ireland. Join me and discover more about Galway with a special emphasis on some of its history. I am a Tourism College student in Galway & Roscommon ETB.
In 2016, the city of Galway was designated the European Capital of Culture for 2020 along with Rijeka in Croatia. This will mean that during 2020 the biggest and most exciting events will take place in Galway.
Lisbon Portugal Travel Guide
Lisbon can only really be explained as a full-body experience, from bumping into people while distracted by the quaint cobblestones or the intricately decorated tiles on the sidewalks, in the Alfama district. At least if you’re having a bad day and your head is held low, you’ve got something to hold your attention or a reason to lift it up!
It’s easy to understand why Lisbon is commonly known as the City of Light, as you are surrounded by bold and vibrant colours that sing out to all the people. But the colour doesn’t stop there… the blue from the Tagus river is emphasised by the sun’s rays that escaped and are now dancing on its surface. The terracotta tiles that adorn the roofs generously lend warmth, even on a grim January’s morning.

Madagascar’s Endangered Species: Understanding the Threats and Conservation Strategies
Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot, with a dizzying array of plant and animal species found nowhere else on the planet. Its distinct ecosystems evolved in isolation for millions of years, resulting in a high level of endemism and ecological distinctiveness. Unfortunately, human activities such as deforestation, hunting, and the illegal wildlife trade endanger these ecosystems and their inhabitants. Climate change and natural disasters such as cyclones and droughts also pose significant threats to Madagascar’s endangered species’ survival.

Protecting Madagascar’s Fragile Ecosystems: An Overview of Conservation Efforts on the Island
Madagascar’s ecosystems must be protected not only to preserve its unique biodiversity but also to maintain important ecological and economic benefits.
