    Epic Museum Dublin – A Fully Digital Multi-Sensory Experience

    October 10, 2019 /

    There are museums that move you and spark imagination. And there are others that are simply awe inspiring and powerful. Occasionally there are some that are simply in need of an overhaul. New museums at this point in time when technology, digital, social and virtual reality are exploding need to reach forward at the same time as they harken back to capture history. Epic Museum Dublin, currently the world’s only fully digital museum, bridges past and present and bursts forth in a dynamic multi-sensory experience that is entirely unique and inspiring. In Dublin’s Docklands Epic Museum Dublin is without a doubt one of the most memorable, impressive museum experiences I…

    Dublin Street Art is Larger Than Life

    March 6, 2018 /

    Dublin street art is magnetic and larger than life. Part of the charm of travel for me is seeing the many ways cities use street art and public art to make their city unique. Before I took my trip to Dublin, I associated the city with pubs, literature and castles. But it’s so much more. In fact, Dublin is a dramatic contrast of youthful energy and creativity, surrounded by tradition and history. Of course the traditional architecture, history and literature are what we know the Irish city for. But Dublin also has a flirty, creative, youthful spirit on display in the streets, alleys and storefronts. It’s an extremely creative city…

    Ring of Kerry – A Must See in Ireland

    January 23, 2018 /

    Ring of Kerry. Remember the name of this spot when planning your trip to Ireland. Tuck it away for later. There’s something magical about Ireland as a whole. But there are some areas that are dramatic, outstanding examples of nature at its best. Places you cannot and should not miss. Killarney, Dublin, Dingle, and the Ring of Kerry are pure magic. If you ever find your way to Ireland promise me now you will see all of the above and be sure to visit Ring of Kerry. In October I went to Killarney for TBEX, Travel Blogger’s Exchange conference. The location was a huge draw for me and there were…

    My Seven Favourite Dublin Experiences

    December 26, 2017 /

    I had so many amazing Dublin experiences recently when visiting the city in the Fall. Dublin is a creative, amazing city that recently earned National Geographic’s Best of the World distinction and it’s easy to see why. If you have not been yet I strongly suggest finding a way to visit. It’s more than worth the time and energy to get there. Stop and savour the Dublin food scene. So many Irish Showstoppers that are memorable and truly well done. Stroll the city by foot, and take a tour while you are there too. Consider this Game of Thrones and Giant’s Causeway Tour! Also this private tour of Ring of…

    Mespil Hotel Dublin – The Perfect Base for Your Dublin Trip #LoveDublin

    December 5, 2017 /

    Mespil Hotel Dublin makes the perfect home base for your trip to Dublin. I recently took a trip to Ireland to attend TBEX in Killarney. Right after my stay in Killarney I had a media trip to Dublin. My first ever visit to Ireland was magical and memorable and Dublin left a dramatic impression on me. During my four days in the city I stayed at Mespil Hotel Dublin, a central location combining great service with comfort and style for an experience that was I would recommend to anyone passing through Dublin.

    The Drama of Dublin Will Wow You – A Travel Guide –

    November 28, 2017 /

    My first trip to Ireland exceeded my expectations in every single way. While I started my trip in Killarney, I spent the last four and a half days of my trip to Ireland discovering Dublin. The city quickly won me over with its brilliant food, museums, architecture and people. Dublin is nothing if not creative and dramatic and you can’t help but fall for this vibrant and fun city. Day One Our First Meal in Dublin The day we arrived in Dublin by tour bus we headed directly to Queen of Tarts in Cow’s Lane. Queen of Tarts is cute and quirky and has a royal theme mixed with an…

    Irish Showstoppers – 6 Things I Will Never Eat Again

    November 21, 2017 /

    Irish Showstoppers and food? Yes, you heard me right. Who knew Ireland was a foodie destination? I certainly did not. In fact, truth be told when I left home to travel there I had no preconceived notion of Irish food knocking my socks off. Actually I assumed the opposite and I planned to visit and enjoy the surroundings on their own. And yet, pretty quickly into my trip I was gobsmacked, happily stunned time and again, by so much great food in Ireland. I honestly had no clue. But the local food movement is strong in Ireland and that is reflected gloriously in the tastes of the food and beverages…

    A Dingle Dolphin Tour and a Distillery #TBEX

    October 31, 2017 /

    A Dingle Dolphin Tour is how I spend my first full day in Ireland. If wanderlusting was a verb it would be exactly this. Waking early to explore a place new to me, with a curious mind and a full heart, ready for adventure. Early that first morning when I still feel a need to pinch myself because I am indeed here, I set out to explore Dingle with a group of about 12 travel bloggers from around the world. The itinerary for the day describes starting in Dingle, boarding a boat for a dolphin tour to find a famous dolphin named Fungie, and sampling Irish whiskey at a distillery.…

    The Magic of Killarney, Ireland

    October 24, 2017 /

    The flight from Toronto is a blink. So fast I am astonished we are descending into Dublin Airport. An uneventful landing is always good. I am solo. There are three ways to get to Killarney. By train, by bus and if you happen to rent a car you can get there too of course. I ask someone at the ground transportation desk what makes sense and opt for the bus. After finally locating the correct bus and asking at least twice to be sure I am heading in the right direction, I load my luggage and board. There’s a transfer and an hour wait about 15 minutes in. Luckily I…

    Seeing Ulysses at The Abbey Theatre Dublin

    October 20, 2017 /

    Go on, admit it you never finished James Joyce’s self indulgent and best known novel Ulysses. Neither did I. I made it to maybe page 300 before deciding life was way too short to finish reading. So, I was curious when I heard Ulysses was on stage at the Abbey Theatre recently in Dublin. I had the chance to see it when we visited Dublin on a press trip this month. On a rainy last evening in Dublin we had dinner at The Church Cafe and Bar, a repurposed church, where the founder of the Guinness Brewery was once married. The building itself is pretty spectacular and it makes a…
