Where the Irish Really Go
Forget the brochures — these are the places locals return to, year after year.
Dear Ireland,
You’re not just a place on the map — you’re the ache in the chest when the wind carries the scent of rain, the flicker of memory in a stranger’s smile, the quiet pull that whispers, “Come home.” In your crooked lanes and crumbling stone walls, we find parts of ourselves we didn’t know were missing. We carry you in stories, in surnames, in songs half-remembered. And even if we’ve never stood on your soil, somehow, we know you. Somehow, you know us too.

Maybe it’s mad. Or maybe it’s the only sane thing left.
My heart beats for Eire since the first time I visited in1984. Went back for many times throughout the years. Just been back after 8 years to the North and South and it's like "Coming Home". Coming back just proofed me- my Heart has always been there and I duly hope to make it for good in a few years time as pensioner. This Island is so precious full of History (a life time would never be enough to explore it all) the warmth, open hearted and welcome attitude from the people is inique, their lively spirit, happy music and dances just catching.
