My husband and I came on holiday to Ireland in 2001. We travelled around for about a month and decided that we wanted to come and stay here. Eventually we moved here from South Africa in 2018. We love Ireland and the Irish people. They go out of their way for you and are very friendly. My husband's great grandfather is from Ireland. Thank you Ireland for welcoming us.

You should definitely make more videos - you have a very pleasant nature , and that really comes across. And you are a great ambassador for Ireland. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My husband and I are heading to Ireland with friends and family this September from Canada. Your videos are so interesting and informative. Thank you very much for making them and sharing. We are so looking forward to visiting your country.

Waterford is class. Incredibly underrated. Tonnes to see in the city and county.

Just a quick shoutout to @Live.Adventure.Travel, my wife and I visited Ireland from the US for the first time last year (2023). This video really helped steer us towards staying in Doolin for a week to soak in some Irish culture. We absolutely LOVED our stay and your suggestion about visiting in Sept/Oct was spot on, minimal crowds and amazing weather. Cliffs of Moher were breathtakingly beautiful and worth the time. Music in the pubs was every night, usually starting around 8:30pm and it was in every pub so we didn't really need to worry about reserving a table at a specific venue. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this vid. Thanks again, info like this really helps those who love to travel! We CANNOT wait to come back to Ireland! :)

The castle in the background in the introductory photo (which she seems to be balancing on her fist) has an interesting history. It is Doonagore Castle in Doolin. It can also be seen at 1:06 . In September 1588 a ship from the Spanish Armada was driven ashore in a storm and broke up just below the castle. 170 Spanish sailors survived but they were captured by British forces from Limerick. All 170 of the Spanish survivors were hanged in the grounds of the castle. Brutal times.

Loved my visit to Achill Island - wishing I spent more time there!

My wife and I just returned from Ireland on a pilgrimage of visiting old friends and tracking down some family along the way. We spent 2 weeks visiting many places along the way starting in Dublin and visiting fantastic locations like Aherlow to visit some friends. Then on to Abbyfeale for another visit with another old friend. We then moved on to Dingle (Loved it) and we explored many of the places you showed in this video. From there we went up to Doolin with a stop for lunch in Listowel with our friend from Abbeyfeale. We were hoping for the Cliffs of Moher but it was wet and stormy but had a great time with a great dinner at Fiddle & Bow and some great Irish music at the local pubs. From Doolin we traveled up to Gallway to again see some more old friends of ours and again had a really great visit and spent some time walking this fantastic city. We then traveled into Clifden where we stayed at a B&B and really enjoyed our host at the Shanakeever Farm - Bed & breakfast. From Clifden our goal was to find my wifes 2nd cousin in Cloghbrack. On the way we stopped in and walked the amazing Kylemore Abby and then onto Leenaun and veered off onto the R336. From there my wife had me turn at the L1301 into the highlands towards Loch Na Fooey. I literally asked her "What have you got me into this time", it was so off the beaten path but I'm so glad we did. What a beautiful drive that was with vistas at every turn and a truly amazing drive. Our destination was Clonbur where my wife last met her 2nd cousin from Cloghbrack some 38 years earlier on a trip with her parents. She showed me the hotel they stayed at and the pub across the street from all those years ago. Now my wife had no contact information for her cousin but from a tip from a local we went into the pub and asked the woman behind the bar if they knew her cousin or if any of the family were still in the area and amazingly she did know of them. My wife asked for directions to their house but she said "have a seat and I'll call him". She came back 5 minutes later said "John will be here in 10 minutes". Can you believe that!? I was speechless. Well in 10 minutes John walked in and we had an amazing visit with him and my wife was ecstatic and so happy. We went onto Gong and stayed the night there. On a tip from our host in Cong he said the only way to see Ashford Castle was to either book a room, book dinner or walk in after hours as the castle is now a privet hotel and not open to the general public. We walked in that night (Amazing!) and the next day had tea at the tea house and walked the outside areas. If anyone goes just tell the guard at the gate that your going in for tea. He actually was quite nice and said...several times before I got the point - "Your going in for tea right?" and he let us pass. After some tea and a walk we drove all the way back across the country to Maynooth just outside Dublin and spent our last night in Ireland at the Glenroyal Hotel (we highly recommend this hotel and absolutely book a dinner reservation in their restaurant). We flew off to London the next day and spent the next 3 days in Wales with our good friend from home and her family. I can't say enough about this great country and next time I will be visiting my ancestral home up in Donegal.

I never "like AND subscribe" but I just did. So many places I missed. I paused about a dozen times to go to maps and mark for future visits.

Just back from a family trip to Ireland - 17 days self planned, self driving. We went to both the Republic and Northern Ireland. I am so glad I found your videos before the trip as they were a HUGE help in planning. Thank you very much for the videos you do!

Going on a solo trip to Ireland at the end of May, and watching your videos have been invaluable. Very well done. Thanks, Laura!

Beautiful places in Ireland...a fan from the Philippines.

Can't wait to go back. Has to be the most beautiful country on earth.

Beautiful lady, great video. Still can't believe the lack of restrooms at some of the parks. Very inconvenient.

Great video. Thank you. I would like to suggest two topics for additional videos. 1. Getting around Ireland on buses. I have been to Ireland seven times and am going again this summer. Rental cars are soooo expensive and I'm too old and too nervous to drive on Irish roads, so I take the bus which I find very comfortable. But it would be great to see a video about places that are easily accessible by bus and which require less than a mile's walk from the bus stop. Also info about planning bus trips in advance (online routes, schedules). Also BusEireann vs. Go Bus vs. Local buses, etc. Bus etiquette. How and where to buy your ticket, etc. 2. A video on learning the Irish language by studying in a Gaeltacht would be helpful to those of us who are learning Irish online in America. Discuss various Gaeltacht areas and the Irish language schools (for adults) that exist there. If you've already done these videos, please let me know. Go raibh maith agat. (I'm practicing my Irish. 🙂)

I have been to Ireland many times with my Irish born husband and I love that you show me so many things Ive yet to see but thanks to you...will!

Very useful tips for our first visit in 2024. Thank you

Thanks so much the info

Thanks you very much
