Climbing Croagh Patrick is something that I always wanted to do. Croagh Patrick which is nicknamed ‘The Reek’ is a mountain in County Mayo. The mountain is 764m (2,507ft) tall and is the third highest mountain in Mayo after Mweelrea and Nephin (but is undoubtedly the most popular!). Located roughly 8km from Westport, Croagh Patrick…Continue Reading “Climbing Croagh Patrick: The Full Guide”
I absolutely love to travel but I don’t think I will ever call any other country my home. I’ve dabbled in living abroad (sharing a one bedroom apartment with nine other girls, so not the best situation..) but those experiences never led me to believe I would prefer my life somewhere other than Ireland. I…Continue Reading “Twelve Reasons To Visit Ireland”
There is always that feeling when one year ends and a new one begins where you begin panic. We always feel the need to make everything bigger and better than it was before (regardless of how big and better the previous year was!). I had an absolutely amazing 2017 where I got to visit ten…Continue Reading “The Panic And Expectations Of A New Year”
For my final trip this year I decided to get out of my comfort zone and book a surprise trip to Bruges for my boyfriend and I. The reason it was out of my comfort zone was because for some unknown reason I’ve never been overly compelled to visit Belgium. There isn’t any real reason…Continue Reading “A Weekend In Bruges”
With the wonder that is Ryanair, my friend and I managed to bag flights to Cologne for only €19.99 return. There were just two catches to our trip. The first being that the trip was mid week, the second catch being that the trip was only for 24 hours – you get what you pay…Continue Reading “24 Hours In Cologne”

I’m heading away in the first week of December I am really getting into the Christmas mood! Christmas markets have such a magical aura about them. The lights,…Continue Reading “Irelands Best Christmas Markets”
If you are from Ireland then you know the country is split into two in the eyes of some. There’s Dublin,and then the rest of the country! Being from ‘the country’ (which spans anywhere from rural West Cork to the hustle and bustle of Galway City and everything surrounding/in between) I found it hard to…Continue Reading “My Favourite Places In Dublin”
Festivals are always an haven for happiness. I have never once been to a festival where I didn’t see smiles plastered on peoples faces come rain, hail or shine. I know that festivals aren’t some peoples thing – too many people, too loud, too drunk, but for me I look at it as a place…Continue Reading “Why You Should Go To A Music Festival At Least Once In Your Life”
Electric Picnic is hands down my favourite festival in Ireland, and possibly my favourite festival in general. Electric Picnic is a music and arts festival held every year in Stradbally, Co.Laois in Ireland which brings around 70,000 through the gates. It is as much a festival for older crowds and families as it is for…Continue Reading “The Guide To Electric Picnic”
Niagara Falls is one of the most breathtaking places that you could ever visit. At over 160 feet tall and water constantly gushing over the edge it really is a sight for sore eyes. I got the pleasure of visiting here when I was staying in New York last summer. We rented a car and…Continue Reading “Guide To The Niagara Falls”
