Let me level with you. I’ve lived in Ireland for 11 years. In fact, I’m an official citizen! But I did grow up in America, so I’ve done allll of the touristy things. And while there are some serious gems around Dublin (and all of Ireland!), certain sites are way more worth it than others. So after doing everything myself, and bringing plenty of friends around, here are my recommendations for the best things to do in Dublin, Ireland.

Our afternoon at Green Elephant Sanctuary in Phuket giving a herd of elephants a mud bath and learning about the rescues.

Before 2014, I had traveled around the states a little bit, but had never left the country. Now I’ve been to 13 countries! In my travels, I’ve learned a thing or two to make my trips a little easier. I’ve rounded some of these up for you today!

Malta: Filming location for Game of Thrones, home to the Popeye film set, and dotted with walled cities. This was where Killian and I went on our 2018 summer holidays.

By far one of my favourite places I’ve visited in Ireland. Come with me to this tiny island off the coast of Kerry!

Steep, winding streets lined with boutique artists’ shops, gorgeous ivy-covered buildings, delicious crepes; The most beautiful place I’ve visited yet.
