Yes, please. Let’s go to Ireland!
6 years ago I spent about 5 months living in Dublin, and Ireland is one of the countries that I most want to go back to. Check out this week’s episode for my attempt to squeeze an entire country into less than an hour without gushing too much about each and every recommendation (it was a futile attempt).
In the episode, we cover:
- Things to see and do in Dublin
- Other places that are more than worth a visit, including Cork, Galway, the Aran Islands, and Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK)
- What to expect from Irish food
- Guinness (and some other drinks you may encounter)
- Irish slang. You’ve got to be prepared for the craic!
- Cost of travel in Ireland
- Why it’s a great destination for first-time travelers and veterans alike
- A few other, important tips!
For more on living and traveling in Ireland, check out my posts from when I lived there. I wrote about all kinds of experiences, including:
- Arriving in Dublin with only a 90-day stamp in my passport, no place to stay beyond a few nights in a hostel, and essentially, no plan 😬
- Visiting Cork (the Blarney Stone makes an appearance!)
- Touring the Boyne Valley
- Music and dance in Ireland
- A guide to Irish Slang part 1 and part 2 (yes, there’s a lot!)
- Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising
- Visiting Belfast and Ballintoy in Northern Ireland
- Visiting Sligo
- Visiting the Aran Islands
- Visiting Malin Head (a Star Wars filming location!)
