Where are all the STA travellers from Ireland, Scotland and Wales?
This morning I spotted this query in the BUG backpacker forums from Irish lass Rachel who’s looking to spend a year in Australia. When fellow member Romy recommends STA Travel’s tickets and working visa as ‘the cheapest by far’, Rachel wonders:
Do they have sta travel in ireland?
They do (there’s a branch in Belfast) - but we seem to hear very little opinion about the company, their deals and services from our friends over on the Emerald Isle, Wales (there’s a Cardiff branch) or Scotland, where they have a presence in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee. Funny thing is, STA are quite well known over in the States for eco-friendly tours of the celtic countries and they operate plenty of flights out of them too.
Are these admittedly great regions so rich and diverse that no-one wants to leave? Hmmm. If you’re an Irish STA traveller, hop over and tell Rachel what you think of the Belfast branch. And if there are any other celtic bods with experience of STA out there, hook up with us via Twitter or FriendFeed - we’d love to see your blogs, videos, and photos about your own travelling tales.

Ady was born in Wales if that helps! (”,)
Brilliant. We officially have a Welsh explorer. I lived in Cardiff for a year, but lots of people tell me that doesn’t count as Wales. They still seemed to hate the English pretty well though.
