People travelling to Ireland often only visit the coastal regions. The heartland of the country, also called the Midlands, is almost only being entered for travelling through. This is understandable on the one hand, because the Irish coast is breathtakingly beautiful and spectacular, but on the other hand the Irish Midlands also have a lot […]
Red deer, ruins & more
Because Falk likes to hike, he was surprised with a trip to the Killarney National Park by me (Verena). We already drove through Ireland’s beautiful, green and oldest National Park and hiked to the Torc Waterfall during our road trip in 2016. We also liked the idyllic town of the same name, which is located […]
Savage Beauty
Oscar Wilde once described the place, we’re writing about this time, as a “savage beauty”. Once you’ve been there, you know what he’s talking about. We‘re talking about Connemara, a region in the west of County Galway. Connemara has so many faces. This gets visible especially when looking on the footage from various corners of […]
“Sunny” South
At random we went for our first major trip to the “sunny” south of Ireland. It wasn’t sunny at all though, actually it rained more or less all the time, but it was still almost winter, so we tried to make the most of it! After more than three hours of driving, we arrived hungry […]

Discovering Spanish Point and its history We started with the blue flag beach at Spanish Point. As we learned soon, it got its name from […]
It goes on
On the way in the bizarre Burren We didn’t have much time to see the Burren (only partly) during our road trip in 2016, so we explored it in more detail for the first time now… This unreal, treeless, unique (in Ireland) and approximately 250 square kilometers wide karst landscape, through which many hilly, winding […]
Let’s get started
In the beginning of our year abroad we directly went for another house hunt. One week after our arrival we had a first viewing in Kilrush – a small town right on the river Shannon that soon flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Since the sleepy place has little to offer at this time of year, […]
Céad Míle Fáilte
The trip to Ireland in the autumn of 2016 left a lasting impression on us. The not so distant land of lush green meadows, endless and deserted sandy beaches, constant rain, but also of thousand rainbows that lies on the western edge of Europe and in which the clocks are still ticking differently – we […]
