A2 Just back from #Ireland, where I sought out #Halloween's origins! I found Tlachtga, known today as the Hill of Ward in the Boyne Valley, Co. Meath, a remote hill NW of #Dublin. the ritual of #Samhain took place here 3000 yrs ago, known today as Halloween! #TravelSkills

Never been abroad for Halloween. Did you know #Halloween was invented in Ireland? It was an ancient Celtic festival (Samhain) where folks dressed up in costumers to ward off evil spirits. They also used to carve turnips! A2 #TravelSkills @TourismIreland #loveireland #Ireland

Q2. Mexico City is a great Halloween destination with Dia de los Muertos on Nov 2. In Sweden, Easter is more like Halloween, as kids dress like witches & go door to door for candy. #TravelSkills

@travelskills A2: Yes in both Asia and Europe. When I was last in Europe I noticed it’s slowly catching on, mostly amongst partying adults.
Still isn’t a thing in East Asia and from a cultural/ superstitious standpoint probably won’t be for a while. #TravelSkills
