Sometimes, life gives you an unexpected nudge—a gentle whisper that grows louder until you can no longer ignore it. For me, that nudge came during a solo trip to Tanzania in 2020. At the time, I wasn’t looking for answers; I was simply immersing myself in the beauty of the world, as travel had always been my way of finding clarity and growth. But amidst Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes and serene sunsets, something within me shifted.
I realized how much I wanted to slow down—not just on that trip, but in life. The pandemic that followed only deepened this feeling, forcing the world to pause and me to reflect. During those months of stillness, I began dreaming of something that had been quietly brewing in my heart for years: creating a space where people could reconnect with themselves, find peace, and embrace the beauty of slowing down.
The Birth of Saol Mall BnB
Fast forward to 2024, and that dream has become a reality. Nestled in the stunning countryside of Inishowen, Ireland, Saol Mall BnB is the manifestation of everything I’ve cherished during my travels. The name itself, “Saol Mall,” translates to “slow life”—a nod to the ethos of our home and the lifestyle we hope to share with our guests.
Here, my husband, our lively dog, and I have created a haven where people can take a step back from the hustle of life. Each day, we wake up to panoramic views of rolling hills, the gentle sound of the wind, and the calming embrace of nature. It’s a life that reminds us to breathe deeply, appreciate simplicity, and find joy in small moments—and it’s one we’re eager to share.
