Green and yellow fight for domination on the hills, there’s a million rabbit holes scattered all around, and my path takes me on sharp ascents and descents, sliding in the sand and grabbing the weeds for support.
So I limbo under it, climb down the hill and at long last I’m back on the shore, back where I started. It’s been a long, beautiful day full of different landscapes and unique experiences. I’ve not so far seen anything in Ireland like the east side of Inch Beach, and it’s a hike I would definitely recommend to the adventurous traveler (and when I say adventurous I mean masochistic).

Getting around Cork
There’s so many things to see and do in Cork, after all is the second biggest city in Ireland. I am not going to bore you with all the museums and churches you can of course visit if you have more time and interest, however just to fill you in, Cork is very much alike Dublin only on a smaller scale. The city is located at the southern part of Ireland being the second most important port in the country after Dublin. So, if you are travelling from France and looking for a see adventure, then take the ferry from Roscoff and you’ll get to Cork in about 14 hours. Otherwise Cork is served by an international airport which is 15 min away by car from the City Center.Coming from Dublin, like we did, and not having a car the best option and cheapest would be the bus. We spent around €50 for 2 people on return tickets with GoBus. The tickets can be bought online from here and the journey will take 3 hours. Once arrived in Cork, the bus will drop you at the main bus station on Parnell Place and you’ll have to hop on in another bus to the hotel.

Dublin: the best spots
Dublin, also known as the Big Smoke is one of my favorite place on Earth for several reasons: live music, cobblestone streets, pubs and Irish people with their lovely Irish accent. I have lived in Dublin for a year while I was studying for my final year of Bachelor’s degree at University College Dublin and if I had to choose a place to settle, it would probably be there. This city is unique. Even though the place is the capital of the Republic of Ireland, it feels like a small city. In this article, I would like to introduce you to my three favorite districts.

Ireland: Explore with The Waterford Greenway
County Waterford is located in the “Sunny South East’ of Ireland. It’s famous for its beautiful beaches, Viking heritage and rich historical background. In the summer of 2017, they added to its long list of reasons to visit, with the opening of the new Waterford Greenway. It is a magnificent 46km off-road cycling and walking trail, on an old railway line. It stretches all the way from Waterford City to the beautiful seaside town of Dungarvan. The Greenway is a great way to discover Waterford, here are some more reasons to start your journey along the Greenway and beyond.

Travelling while being a Workaway
Agree on the terms I wanted to travel around Ireland, while I was doing the workaway. I talked to my hosts, Patricia and Gerry, about it and we agreed that my two days off would be Tuesday and Wednesday every week. That way I could take off Monday afternoon and be back Wednesday evening and have two nights away. I would say that it definitely depends on, where you are and what kind of workaway experience you’re doing, but I really needed two nights away from my host place.

Ireland: pure green nature
The first thing you will notice when in Ireland, is that at least once every two days it rains, for what I whole-hearted recommend to bring or buy a proper waterproof jacket as a simple umbrella will not be suitable due to the wind.

Top activities in Ireland during summer!
Ireland is fast becoming a place to visit. I only relocated here to live with my husband in 2012 but since then, I noticed the surge of tourists visiting this country especially during the “nicer” months of summer. Even my husband who’s living here close to 10 years now tells me that it wasn’t like this when he first got here!

Drinking in Dublin and listening to live music
As Ireland is so talented with music and you want to enjoy live music and have a few drinks I would recommend a few places and the first one is Mother Reilly’s in Rathmines, there are always playing Irish brands and it has a smoking area inside, pool and staff are friendly which Is what you want. I went there to see my friend playing once and fell in love straight with this place. It was pretty busy as my friend is a good singer but whenever I had a few drinks me and my friends were playing pool and enjoying the music. In the smoking area, there is heating and tables and sofas. Another place I would recommend if you are looking for live music is Workman’s. I enjoy going there to spent time with my friends to listen to some music.

Still hungry?
Apparently, real party means good food, and Ireland has a lot to offer in this matter, no matter if you’re omnivore, carnivore, vegetarian or vegan, you will for sure find an option for yourself. Just behind the corner of the Lincoln Place, on the Pearse Street, you can find the healthiest takeaway, called “Camille”. They offer Thai cuisine, and they do perfect prawns for their curries. There is the white collars favourite “Staple Foods” on the Grattan Street that offers Paleo diet whose menu is brief but fresh, and the service is friendly and fast.

From the biggest parties of Ibiza to one of the smallest villages in Ireland
I know sometimes it sounds a little bit crazy to go and travel by yourself, but there are not always people who would follow us or go with us, but on this long journey I truly believe we meet a lots of similar people who might decide to keep with us. From the biggest parties of Ibiza to one of the smallest villages in Ireland Most of my friends keep telling me how crazy I could be to choose to move for a half year to a place in the middle of nowhere (Eyeries, village with 66 inhabitants in South-West Ireland), when the past half year I spent in the most party island in the world (Ibiza, Spain). I know, I am a little bit extreme sometimes, but I think this makes me who I am right now. I wanted to know how the people live in Ireland, their habits, but their nature is that fascinated me the most. Since I was studying in Sweden (remember this cause most of my travels and stories are connected to Sweden) I was thinking about visiting Ireland (that was already 4 and a half years ago).

Discover the Cliffs of Moher in beautiful Ireland
These Cliffs are utterly amazing. They stand 702ft tall and are located on the Atlantic Coast of Ireland. According to the Visitor Center, the Cliffs are one of the most visited spots in Ireland receiving up to 1 million visitors a year. Ok, so some history, I’ll tell you a little bit about what I learned at the Visitor’s Center. The Cliffs are named after an old promontory fort called Mothar or Moher, which once stood on the Hag’s Head – the southernmost point of the cliffs, now the site of Moher Tower. The closest towns to the Cliffs are Liscannor (6 km to the South) and Doolin (7 km to the North). My group went to Doolin where we enjoyed a mean chowder at a fantastic little pub called O’Connor’s. At the main parking lot of the Cliffs, there are some cute little shops you can visit, although they sell the same things as the Visitor Center’s gift shop at mostly the same prices. I did find a neat t-shirt and a cute little sheep keychain however!

Getting your Nature Fix in Dubin
What too many people forget is that Ireland has always been known as one of the greenest countries to visit, full of rolling hills bursting with wildflowers and sheep, goats and cows to keep you company along your walk. A trip to Dublin would be incomplete without immersing yourself for at least a day (or longer!) in the local flora and fauna.

Dublin: Beer, Cheer and some Green
As a hungarian student, I am proud to say that I got to live in this beautiful place for 3 months, and oh, still I dream about the colorful streets, the hidden alleyways and the soft green grass in Dublin. This is a little inside tip collection for those who want to discover the capital of Ireland-The Green Emerald. So as the first part of my Ireland series, I collected you a few mainstream, but also some inside tips for your trip to the capital of Ireland. The home of James Joyce has a wide scale of sightseeing attractions to offer for the cultured and the curious. Dublin is a very small city, with an even smaller centre that is easy to get to know and discoverable by foot. Hereby I planned a little tour for you that will take you to the most important sights and I highly recommend you to take this little walk, especially when it’s sunny! ( I would say it is, most of the time, but predicting irish weather is like trying to guess the Lotto numbers. )

A walk around Dublin sipping a Guinness
Dublin is one of the places I love the most in the entire world! I’d wanted to go there since I was a little girl and I saw an episode of Chip’n’Dale Rescue Rangers set in Ireland in which the two chipmunks were helping the last leprechaun retrieve his pot full of gold. (Here’s the link if you feel like watching it: Chip’n’Dale Rescue Rangers The last Leprechaun). I really wanted to go to Ireland and find my personal leprechaun! My mom eventually convinced me I could find one in our garden so I decided to give up on my Irish trip. Time passed by and I grew up, I didn’t believe in Leprechauns anymore, but I still wanted to visit Ireland, Dublin in particular, so I did. The first time I went there was a couple of years ago, I spent a nice weekend with some friends and totally fell in love with the city. Since then I’ve been to Dublin four more times, good thing I have a friend who lets me crash at her place whenever I ask (and I ask A LOT). Since she works, I usually end up wandering around the city by myself and, I must confess, I enjoy taking my time to just walk around listening to music. I never feel lonely, I always discover something new and come back more in love with this city than I was before.

Welcome to Dublin, the heart of the Emerald Isle
Baile Átha Cliath, commonly known as Dublin, is the capital of the Republic of Ireland as well as the most populated and richest city of the Emerald Isle. Economically speaking, Dublin has seen considerable development in the last two decades that made this marvellous city become the heart of the whole country. And if you are thinking about moving to a place where joy and culture are well mixed together, Dublin is certainly the perfect city for you!

Northern Ireland - A newly discovered destination
A few years ago nobody would even think of going to Northern Ireland for a visit. Today things have changed and we are glad they did. Northern Ireland is today a very interesting destination, with many interesting things to see. First of all, if you are considering going there, don´t underestimate it. Yes, it is a small country, but it is worth staying for a couple of days. If you really want to experience everything you are entitled to, rent a car and do it at your own pace!
