Video: Irish lads embark on what looks like maybe the greatest J1 trip of all time

Jealous? JOE? Never.

Jealous? JOE? Never.

Swimming, diving, driving, flipping, leaping and jumping. Lots and lots of jumping. And just like, living man, y’know, like, really living man. Dude.

That’s essentially what makes up the majority of this absolutely cracking, sun-kissed J1 highlights reel which was sent into JOE by Paul Deering. Here’s what the man himself had to say about the terrific-looking trip which, we’re sure you’ll agree, is superbly edited too:

“Hi JOE, short video of my J1 experience! We spent 1 month working with a moving company in San Francisco and saved enough to travel for 3 weeks. Starting in San Francisco we worked our way down the west coast into Mexico and then across to the east coast. To keep our trip cheap we camped most night’s. Had the time of our lives! Hope you like the video.”

Thanks for invite Paul, yeah?

Fair play to all involved though, it looks like everyone genuinely had an amazing time in the States. And, just like these four Cork lads travelling around Ireland in a Mini, thank God you brought along that old mop to stick your phone on the end of too, it certainly came in handy…
