Ireland

I pretty much fell in love with Ireland the moment I saw her. She seduced me with rolling, emerald, sheep-dotted hills and plains of gray-green stone and stirred my wild side with reckless winds tearing across rocky cliffs. Underneath her incredible expanse of sky, she stole my heart. She is a land of myth and music – full of lovely, welcoming people with adventurous hearts and a great gift for weaving stories. Ireland is a great many things, and there are a great many things to do in Ireland. Demure, yet saucy. A gracious hostess with an untamed spirit. She can bring an idyllic moment of pure pastoral contentment or nail-biting panic on a twisting one-lane cliff-side road. This lady keeps you guessing. And that is part of her charm.

Unique things to do in Ireland

A soul-filled late-night kayaking adventure that led me to discover the deep magic of quietness.
Walking along the Cliffs of Moher past green fields of livestock with sea spray filling the air sparked some serious heart joy.
A remote hike across the rocky Burren, where I never once ran into another person, brought out my inner adventuring badass.
If you know me at all, you know how I love capturing images of abandoned places and the Muckrose Abbey in Killarney National Park was the perfect subject on a rainy afternoon.
Try surfing in the wild Atlantic
Take a walking tour of Cork City.
Enjoy brown bread icecream at Murphy’s Ice Cream

Ireland Travel Planning

I’ve traveled to Ireland multiple times, it’s like a second home to me. I take great pride in running small group tours there that take you off the beaten path and show you small, lesser-known regions. I’ve driven, hiked, and cycled around various sections of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way and I would love to help you plan your trip to Ireland!
