Visiting the Amalfi Coast, and Positano in particular is something I have wanted to do for years now. I visited with my parents once when I was thirteen and absolutely fell in love with the views, the food, the people… the whole thing! So after over a full year of no travel I thought to…Continue Reading “Five Day Amalfi Coast Itinerary”
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 don’t actually actively ‘celebrate’ Valentines day but with February the 14th just around the corner it got me thinking about all of the wonderful activities that are available in Dublin.

I absolutely love to travel but I don’t think I will ever call any other country my home.

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’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”
I suppose it’s just because of pure familiarity but you always seem to neglect the amazing things you can do in your hometown. Now, I’m not actually from Adare but I’m not from too far away. I have always been a sucker for home but growing up Adare just seemed to be more of a…Continue Reading “Top 10 Things To Do In Adare”
It’s not that often that I go to the same place more than once (shoutout to Split and Vegas for making that extremely small list of mine!) but one place I have been going year after year is Electric Picnic. (so much so I even lost my job because of it one year, but, that is…Continue Reading “Irelands Best Festival”
Growing up in West Limerick, I always spent at least a week every Summer down in Kerry. While my parents beach town of choice was Ballyheigue back in the day, I now go to Ballybunnion when I get the chance. I hadn’t been down here in almost two years so my friend and I decided…Continue Reading “An Evening In Kerry”
It’s no secret that my favourite place in Dublin is Howth (I mention it here AND here after all!) so I am always happy to spend a Sunday doing the Cliff Walk in Howth (and getting a sneaky fish & chips after to reward myself) to soak up the amazing coastal views. Before moving to Dublin, I…Continue Reading “Howth Cliff Walk”
