📍 Portobello, Dublin

Medieval church ruins + cherry blossoms yes please

Medieval church ruins + cherry blossoms yes please 😍

Cherry blossom season is officially HERE in one of my favorite little hidden corners of Dublin 🍒🌸

Herbert Park gets all the cherry blossom hype, but Saint Kevin’s Park is such a hidden gem — this little park is in the heart of the city but always peaceful and quiet, and it’s FULL of blossoms right now among the medieval church ruins. And as usual I had the whole place to myself yesterday! What a vibe 🤌🏼

A great lil spot to see some cherry blossoms in Dublin!!

Missing Thailand after watching the new season of

Missing Thailand after watching the new season of White Lotus but…

I find it WILD that some of those guests just stayed poolside and ate at the same resort restaurant every night (and maybe squeezed in a yacht trip or 2 👀)

Imagine going all the way to Thailand and NEVER:
- Stepping into a 7/11
- Trying Thai street food
- Exploring a single night market
- Visiting more than one beach
- Experiencing any local culture beyond the resort
- or even spotting a single pair of elephant pants?!

Like… how?!?! 🤯

Give me a budget adventure full of flavor, chaos, and culture over a 5-star snoozefest any day.

If you’ve been to Thailand — what was YOUR favorite thing?

A Few Must-Visit Gems in Ireland 🇮🇪✨ Beca

A Few Must-Visit Gems in Ireland 🇮🇪✨

Because Ireland truly is ~aesthetically superior~ and has no bad angles!

If you’re planning a trip to Ireland, add these must-visit spots to your itinerary:

📍 Kilkee Cliffs, County Clare
A stunning alternative to the Cliffs of Moher—same jaw-dropping views but with way fewer crowds (and only 1 hour away). There’s 7km of rugged coastline and you might even have this hidden gem all to yourself!

📍 Cape Clear Island, County Cork
Ireland’s southernmost inhabited island is paradise! Hop on a scenic ferry ride, explore dramatic cliffs and ancient standing stones, and visit a 12th-century church.

📍 Fanad Lighthouse, County Donegal
One of the most scenic lighthouses in Ireland, perched on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Bonus: You can even stay overnight in the charming keeper’s cottages!

📍 Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry
One of Ireland’s most picturesque and scenic road trips— with golden beaches, rugged cliffs, and green hills filled with sheep. And yes, there’s even a spot where you can hold baby lambs! 🥹

📍 Strandhill, County Sligo
A coastal town known for surfing, sandy beaches, and stunning hikes. Don’t miss the walk up Knocknarea Hill, where you’ll find panoramic views and may even spot free-roaming horses!

I promise these Irish landscapes will leave you absolutely SPEECHLESS! 😍

Ireland really said “I’m gonna give you a view

Ireland really said “I’m gonna give you a view so good it’ll haunt your dreams” 🇮🇪✨

Here are some places in Ireland that left me standing there, mouth open, no words, no thoughts, just AWE:

📍FANAD LIGHTHOUSE, County Donegal
This lighthouse is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and the untamed Atlantic Ocean and offers stunning panoramic views. It honestly left me speechless. Also I learned after my visit that you can actually stay stay overnight in one of its charming keeper’s cottages! I definitely want to do that next time.

📍CAPE CLEAR ISLAND, County Cork
An Irish-speaking island and Ireland’s southernmost inhabited island. Even the ferry ride to the island was so beautiful! We spent the day walking it’s scenic trails through dramatic cliffs, rolling hills, ancient standing stones and a 12th-century church.

📍KILKEE CLIFFS, County Clare
Every tourist visiting Ireland wants to visit the Cliffs of Moher and yes, of course they’re beautiful, but the Kilkee Cliffs (only an hour drive away) offer the same breathtaking views with WAY less crowds. When I was there, we had the whole place to ourselves. 7km of UNOBSTRUCTED views!!!

📍DINGLE PENINSULA, County Kerry
Driving the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry is one of Ireland’s most scenic road trips, taking you past beaches, cliffs, and rolling green hills dotted with sheep. We even found a place where you pull over and hold baby lambs!!!

📍STRANDHILL, County Sligo
This vibrant seaside village is famous for its world-class surf, golden beaches, and relaxed atmosphere. We tried out surfing (I was terrible), did a sunset beach walk, but the highlight was walking up Knocknarea hill where we got up close and personal with some free-roaming horses. The views were INSANE!

If you’re visiting Ireland, make sure to visit not only Dublin but some scenic spots too! There is so much scenery to see outside of the city that will blow your mind! 😍 #ireland #irelandgram #irelandtravel

Oh don’t mind me, I’m just mentally escaping t

Oh don’t mind me, I’m just mentally escaping to Guatemala while STILL waiting for spring to arrive in Dublin.

It looks like I’ll be heading back to this beautiful and vibrant country later this year for a family wedding and I CANNOT FKN WAIT to be back!!

Last time I was in Guatemala I went to Guatemala City, Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango, and Antigua. Where should I go this time?! Tikal is definitely on the list!
