We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

When he said the people are truly gorgeous inside 😭😭 honestly, what a compliment. I’m so proud to be Irish and to be part of a community that’s known for friendliness!

[olivernyhan]

Usually when you see videos about Ireland or the Irish made by non Irish people it can have a tendency to be annoying or even unintentionally offensive. This video is none of these at all, thanks so much for such a nice video about my homeland, makes me feel proud that you enjoyed it so much!!

My husband and I loved Ireland. My Dad and grandparents were from Limerick.My husband bought me an Irish wedding ring. It was our 25th wedding anniversary. We were married 38 years and he just passed away and that was our best trip. I still buy Irish things on line.

Our twelve day toue was the greatest vacation I have taken in my 71 years. The people were so nice a d helpful. The food was excellent and the scenery unmatched anywhere.

What shocked me was I came here on holiday in 2002 and ended up marrying an Irishman I met on that trip and I am still here!

Excellent video, I thought id end up disagreeing with all the points but as an Irish man born and raised I agree with every point. Especially the cursing one😂

[WarhoundK]

I went to Ireland in 2018. It was a fantastic trip. I spent 5 days in Dublin and 5 days in the south and west. I loved my days in Dublin sightseeing but the Irish countryside was simply amazing. The Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Driving on the Wild Atlanic Way, Killarney, Boat tour on the lakes of the National Park, Gap of Dunloe, Ring of Kerry, Skellig Ring, Blarney Castle, Cork were all fantastic sites. I was shocked that I had virtually no rain during that 10 day period (first week of June). My flight from NY was under $400. I flew to London on Ryan Air for $35 one way. Spent 5 days in London. That was an amazing trip too. Mark you are absolutely correct on all of these. My rental car broke down in Killarney. A local resident picked me up and drove me to my hotel. We had great conversation along the way.

Don’t say HEY TRAVELLERS
in Ireland you’ll get yourself in trouble

[jillh]

What shocked me, I guess, is how much I LOVED Ireland!! I've been to approx 30 countries in my life and I must say that Ireland is my favorite place. I noticed everything that you mentioned here. If I could figure out a way, as an American, to move to Ireland, I would in a heartbeat. The people are what makes the country great. It is heaven on earth!

[chloecullen]

I'm Irish anyone else here to see what people have to say😂

[singleandhappyirishman]

Great video and yes we are very kind people im a irishman who was born raised and still lives in ireland in dublin ireland im proud to be irish and proud of my country. Ireland 🇮🇪 🇮🇪

[spiral]

Visited Ireland with my family when I was 14. I still remember the Irish hospitality 20 years later. Truly the friendliest most genuine people of any country I've visited.

Also, When you're in a pub there might just be a random old man who will start singing with no music. It'll just be him singing an old or traditional song while everyone turns to watch him. Doesn't matter if he's good or not everyone will still clap for him.

[murpho]

Loved the enthusiasm and happiness in this video. He’s enjoying his time in Ireland.

[Mrdrumlover]

I played drums in a Irish band and toured
all through Ireland.

I LOVE IRELAND AND THE WONDERFUL IRISH PEOPLE!

[cillian]

My number one tip for anyone coming here to Ireland on your holiday is to get out of Dublin. Go west! From cork up to Donegal it's where the beauty is. Come and enjoy yourselves 🇮🇪

[joshfallon]

In Ireland we play the uilleann pipes, not the bagpipes

Warning: DONT GO TO TEMPLE
BAR. IT WILL BE FULL TO THE BRIM OF 18 YEAR OLDS

Ireland is really amazing: clean air, super friendly people and the fish you can eat there is the best. I love the gardens of Muckross house, if you are Italian you’ll be shocked to find a public space so clean: your kids can run bare footed and they will love it
