About Your Hosts Names: Liam & Corey
Raised on scones and tea in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Liam Hughes has been traveling to Ireland since his youth. After years of visiting family in County Tipperary, he purchased a cottage “down the road” from his relatives and proceeded to spend the next twenty years converting his derelict property into the cottage of his dreams. Now Liam spends his summer on the Emerald isle offering his cottage as a guesthouse and sharing his services as a tour guide. When not traveling, he creates jewelry form shards of broken and discarded china in his Milwaukee studio. You can visit Liam’s cottage at www.knockahopple.com and view his jewelry at www.lamplighterstudio.com. Corey Taratuta first became interested in international travel at the age of seven when his family began hosting exchange students in his hometown of Posen, Michigan. After six exchange “brothers” and “sisters” from six different countries, Corey caught the travel bug without even leaving North America. While living in Australia a few years back, his frustration with poorly designed tour books led him to put his graphic design training to work and start creating his own walking tours and itineraries. His ten-plus years of travel to Ireland made it the natural place for him to experiment with his new passion. In 2004, Liam and Corey teamed up to create their first itinerary packet for a client. a year later Liam shared his expertise in creating Corey’s Walking Kilkenny tour, and in February 2006 the duo launched their first Irish Fireside podcast. A year later, they unveiled their list of the Best Websites for Dreaming About Ireland. The Irish Fireside consistently ranks in the iTunes Top 100 Travel Podcasts, often breaking into the Top 25. |
