It’s a sunny, brisk day in a city that is new to me; the perfect day to grab my camera and go explore. Fluffy clouds, blue skies, people bustling around the city center, a riverbank, fall trees, it doesn’t get much better than this. But wait…it does. Cork City in Ireland has a series of self-guided walks around the city that will lead you through this picturesque town and its history.
Walking in Cork City

The Shandon Walk, City Center Island Walk, University Walk, and South Parish Walk all start at Daunt’s Square and there are information panels and color coded signs (red walking man for Shandon Walk, orange walking man for City Center Island Walk, green walking man for University Walk, and blue walking man for South Parish Walk). These signs are found along the way of each route to ensure you stay on track. In addition, you can get a brochure and walking map to guide you.

I took the University Walk with a local friend and found lots of little gems I never would have otherwise known about or found without the map. We walked through little neighborhoods, stopped at museums, meandered through the University campus, stopped in riverside parks, and enjoyed the artistic graffiti along this route. A perfect day for a photo walk. Here were some of my favorite captures from the day.

$34.95Buy NowOne of the things I like about Klean Kanteen is that they have a system where you really just need to purchase one insulated bottle and then use their interchangeable caps for your different needs; caps for sipping drinks, straws lids for cold drinks, or chug caps. One bottle is really all you need!

Buy NowPacking organizers are the key to packing happiness – they turn your bag into a piece of furniture. I use mine to organize my different types of clothes, just like I would a dresser; one has t-shits, one has pants, one has sweaters. You get the idea – it’s packing bliss. I use and love Eagle Creek packing solutions.
