I really want to travel to Ireland, but am not exactly flush with funds. Any ideas on some cost effective, but safe ways to travel and see Ireland? Thanks so much!
I would like to be there for about a week, and hostel accommodations would be great if they are safe (are they? i have no clue). I would love to see the countryside more than the cities. I like in Rochester NY, USA. Thanks so much!
Answer
Can you give us some more info on this please?
How long are you coming for?
Would you make do with hostel accommodation?
Are you wanting to see the countryside or the cities?
Where are you coming from?
=========================================
edit:
OK, first thing to bear in mind is that Ireland is split in two. In the North (Northern Ireland) they use Sterling (British money), in the south (Republic of Ireland) they use the Euro, so if you are going to visit both, try to make sure you have both currencies.
For Hostels, in Belfast there's Arnies ( http://www.arniesbackpackers.co.uk/ ) and in the south theres An Ãige (The Irish Youth Hostel Assoc) ( http://www.anoige.ie/ - they have hostels all over)
If you can afford a little more and are stopping in Belfast, then the place we use to put up friends/family if there is not enough room in the house is Kate's B&B ( http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/product.aspx?ProductID=4534 )
To make the trip cheaper, there are a number of bus tickets you can get that give you pretty much unlimited travel ( https://www.buseireann.ie/asp/ExplorerList.asp ) and you can view the timetables on line for Northern Ireland ( http://www.translink.co.uk/ ) and for the south by visiting ( https://www.buseireann.ie/site/home/ )
Something else you need to bear in mind is that Ireland is colder than a lot of the US. The reason it is so green is that it never stops raining :-)
There are also quite a few camp sites, but unless you have a very waterproof tent, you are taking a risk.
If you want to look up non-Ãige hostels or Bed & Breakfasts on your own, a good place to start is http://www.goldenpages.ie for the south or http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/index.publisha for Northern Ireand.
Now, all you need is to decide where you want to go, find local hostels, and plan the buses.
Need any more help, email me.

Year round tent camping in the smokies?
Isaiah
What would I need and how to stay out of site? I have list my job and I need advice on how to camp all year. trying to save $by doing this.
Answer
I've seen the best tents money can buy blown into the night off mountains.
There are rags of those that were torn apart when ground placement held
on some of my uphill climb. I've had a tent in-hand drag me over icy stone.
I suggest a mid-level tent like Coleman, cheap, well-made. Dome with rain
fly, window flaps, with zippered mesh bug protection and portal closures.
You absolutely must apply seam sealant on all exposed interior stitching.
Stand tent turned inside out to seam seal if possible as you can't sleep
with the fire hazard and toxic odor. When dry sealant is your best friend.
Avoid fouling zipper teeth with sealant. Have extra sealer for repair. Duct
tape also for short-term patching; cold isn't duct tape friendly. Two areas are
likely to tear first: 1. Tent floor. Tent should be on a hillside but level, with
tarp under floor, and layers of cardboard inside tent over flooring for insulation.
Expect deterioration of floor cardboard and renew if damp or issues arise.
2. Mesh, it tears easily, and you need to respect that. You want room for
stuff. Higher tents have contain more air to warm (heat rises and bleeds fast),
there's wind resistence, so you need a shed shelter over it with sides facing
an expected weather frontage. Logs in a three side layer work and better hold
exterior tarp. It won't have to be waterproof but it must blunt wind chill / speed.
Digging into hillside requires wall support to avoid untimely burial. Log steps
with hammered pegs work. Double weather walls and roofing need vented air
space to vent moisture. Tents are designed as temporary shelter. You'd better
be filling sandbags to build better. Build around your tent. Work around the
braced exterior of stacked log grid. Focus on foot diameter logs, hand saw,
saw file, file oil, rags, hand winch, nylon sling lengths for log tow and hoist.
Tree nails. Claw hammer. Shovel. You won't have something. Find ruins
you can salvage. Dead cars to strip. You want a location with water that if
frozen you can still access. A USA hermit was arrested in 2013 and he
said that after a half-lifetime of being totally self-sufficient the only thing left
of personal property were prescription eye-glasses. Don't be a hermit. Using
Google Earth it wasn't hard to find a limestone grotto for boys in the UK to
sleep in and they were half-planet distant. Maybe you can do better in a chair.
