Hi all! 😊

There is soooo much that I would love to explore on the island! It's hard to choose, but first thing first:

1. The amazing Wicklow Mountains ⛰️
2. Rathlin Island around July, when it's more likely to see puffins 🐦 
3. The colorful village of Kinsale and the area around 🌈 (I've never been to the South, and it would be nice to visit as much as I can while there)

p.s. Cindy, I finally visited Kylemore Abbey, the Connemara National Park, and the Cliffs of Moher this year. Truly amazing and I really loved the Victorian Walled Garden in Kylemore Abbey (I recently started my own garden, so it was so inspiring 😉)

Now, this is the perfect thread for creating a bucket list! There are so many spots to stop by and enjoy, it's wonderful to see how diverse our community is in our shared love for the Emerald Isle. 💚

As for my list:

1) Visit at least 5 separate Irish castles! 🏰
2) Perfect making Irish Soda Bread. I've made a few loafs before but cut into them too early, which ruined the texture. I'd also like to try making my own butter and preserves to enjoy with it. 🍞
3) Stop by the famous Keem Beach to swim and snorkel in that clear, beautiful water. 🏖️

Hi everyone! 👋  I love all of these bucket lists 💚

Mine would be :

1. A campervan road trip along the northwest part of the Wild Atlantic Way (Connemara/Mayo/Sligo). 🚐 🌊 ☘️ I already located spots and campsites, my VW Transporter would love these countryside roads and scenic views.
2. Stand-up paddling in Fermanagh Lakelands. Do I need to say more?  🏄‍♂️
3. Eating authentic seafood chowder while overlooking Dingle Bay. 🥣 🦐 Of course, it comes with a perfect pint.

Okay, all of these lists are making me wonder whether the next item on my bucket list should be to get an extra notebook to fit everything in! 📝 Loving your plans, I'm definitely getting inspired by some of them. 😊
  • Visit Skellig Michael. 🛥️ Even before being featured in Star Wars, it always called to me as an off-worldy place of remote mysticism and magic. ⛰️
  • Have a shot at surfing. 🏄 Seems to be a popular one for next year! With so many great surfing spots along the west coast, Ireland is a great place to catch some waves. And if I'm brave enough, I might even try that winter swell. 🌊
  • Hike the Southern Peninsulas. 👣 Dingle, Iveragh, Beara, Sheep's Head and Mizen - they're all gorgeous and I'd like to see and experience them up close. ☘️
  • Go winter swimming. 🏊🏽 Quite out of my comfort zone and not too big a fan of the cold, but I've heard it's invigorating and good for you (if you take your precautions). So on the list with it! ❄️
