TheseĀ photos and clipsĀ are in order from the first day in Ireland,Ā to the last
The weather felt pretty unpredictable at times. Especially here where you can tell the sun fades outĀ and back inĀ as a small storm approached.
We were staring at this wall of rain for a couple of minutes. it flew straight towards us.
And then the sun came out.
You'll see a lot of my friend Christian (the guy with long hair)Ā in these photos. He'sĀ basically my model for this entire trip.
Cavan Burren Park has one of the most beautiful forest and landscapes that I have seen ( As of 2025). There are structures in the park that date from around 4500 BC, which is an amount of time that my mind can't really comprehend. It was very gray/gloomy, but it made the park feel so calm and peaceful. I felt like a sheep grazing on a field,Ā
There's this cool old mansion in the middle of this town called Donegal. I had coffee andĀ accidentallyĀ ordered a vegan sub. I mostly walked alone around Donegal.Ā
It's probably disrespectful to take photosĀ of strangers without theirĀ permission
butĀ
look atĀ how natural it all is.
I think that's coolĀ
We visited Arranmore Island, where I got on a boat for the first time. By the side of the island, you can see some incredibleĀ cliffs where the ocean waves crash along the rocks. Unfortunately we believed that itĀ would be raining all day at the cliffs so I didn't bring my camera. I did capture some photos and videos on my phone.Ā
Woke up early in the morningĀ to go surfing in the ocean. It was super cool super cold, but I would do it again.
We visited the Glencar Waterfall, about a 35 minute drive from Bundoran. The scenery of the mountains with theĀ gray clouds made this such a beautiful experience for me. You can probably tell by now that I like cloudy days.Ā
I want everyone to know that I ran up thisĀ mountain. It's called Sliabh Liag and its pretty much something you would see straight out of a nature documentary. The running made me sweat, but there was so much COLD wind too. I felt so funky haha.Ā Ā
This is the mountain I would wake up to every morning. Im so happy this is part of my memory,Ā
Glenveagh CastleĀ was such a exciting place to visit.Ā But if I'm being honest, I was more hyped for the botanical garden. I had so much fun taking photos of every flower I saw. It's so calming to walkĀ through theĀ garden. Unfortunately for me, I took so much time in the garden that I almost missed out on a view at the top of a hill. I say almost because I did run the hill. My anxiety was going crazy.
Christian and I got attacked by a seagull after the photos below were taken. To be fair we did stumble around near its nest.Ā
We visited the Museum of Free Derry where we learned about the events of Bloody Sunday in the city of Derry.
On our last day, we returned to Dublin. We had a tour of Trinity College before we were given the rest of the day to walk around the city.Ā
The very last photo I took inĀ Ireland.
I would like to give a special thanks to Niamh and John from Find My IrelandĀ for leading us through thisĀ incredible adventure and history of Ireland.
I would also like to give thanks to Bluegrass Community and Technical College and the Global Learning Center for this amazing opportunity. I have fallen in love with the world thanks to BCTC.Ā Ā
