A room with a view. My solo camping and road trip continues along The Wild Atllantic Way. stopping later in the evening, finding a quiet place along the coast to camp, with hopes of a great sunset or sunrise to photograph, on this trip i didn't get either so here is a night time long exposure of my condo and private beach aka my tent, cheapest way to get a room with a view while travelling. In the morning i packed up my tent leaving no trace and went on with my journey. #camping #backpacking #solotrip #roadtrip #wildcamp #wildatlanticway #galway #connemara #ireland #leavenotrace #nature #whitesands #night #coast #lovinglife
