Ireland is magical! From the first time I visited this enchanting island, I knew it would hold a very special place in my heart. The scenic landscape of Ireland is stunning and perfect for road trips, which offer stops along the dramatic coastal cliffs to breathe in the sea air and photograph the beauty around you. My favorite drive is around the Dingle Peninsula where dazzling sights meet you at every turn, and the fishing village of Dingle is so quaint, you will want to spend more than a couple hours getting lost.

Dublin's vibrant city life gives plenty of traditional Irish music and lots of laughter at every cozy pub you stumble across; which comes along with the most welcoming and hospitable people. The Irish are so delightful and full of life and stories that you can easily sit for hours just listening. Nestling up at a snug table in The Temple Bar is a must-do. The vibrant red and black facade with cascading flowers, is, in itself, a sight to see. My drink of choice is always an Irish Coffee, with Jameson Whiskey of course!

Driving, biking or hiking around the countryside to see the many ancient castles nestled in rolling green hills with sheep to be spotted for days, is a fun way to get lost and explore the heart of Ireland. Ireland offers an unforgettable journey with each and every visit. Whether you're tracing your family roots (as I have started to do), exploring the lively streets of Dublin (one of my very favorite cities in the world), or marveling at the natural beauty of the Cliffs of Moher (absolutely breathtaking), Ireland promises charm, history, and hospitality at every turn.

Ireland boasts over 400 golf clubs, which include one third of the world's natural links courses. You can very easily understand why it is one of the top golf destinations in the world. You can choose to tee off by the sea, or in the heart of the lush countryside.

Stepping back in time to explore the Blarney Castle in Cork, and even kissing the infamous Blarney Stone to receive the mystical gift of eloquence is an experience I encourage everyone who travels to Ireland to take. I believe I received this eloquent gift, however, perhaps my partner disagrees.

A tour of the exquisite House of Waterford is as divine as the fine crystal they create. Watching the artisans create works of art into the crystal feels like watching magic. And then topping off the tour with tea at the House of Waterford is a wonderful way to unwind and take in the beauty of the Waterford crystal.

Having the chance to stay one night, or many, in an Irish castle is an opportunity not to pass up either! My favorite being the Ashford Castle in Galway. It is luxury at its finest and will leave you feeling spoiled and never wanting to leave. An option to go horse back riding around the castle property makes the experience of staying in an Irish castle all the more medieval and enchanting (my horses name was Spruce, and he was delightful).

Ireland is full of magic and wonder, and a destination I encourage everyone to explore.
