NOTE:
About seven minutes in, I mention that Ireland is /"…a very young country/" (part of tip 8). Please note that this refers to the modern Republic of Ireland. It gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1919. This ended nearly 750 years of direct English interference. Ireland and its culture are of course much, much older!

REMINDERS:
Three things to keep in mind for all of our videos:

1 – See a place you like? Comment with the specific timestamp (typing for example 2:23 or 9:07) and I will try to get back to you with the coordinates of that specific place as best I can. Ireland is too beautiful not to share it with as many people as possible, so if you see a nice shot in one of my videos, let me know by commenting with the timestamp!

2 – All of our videos are primarily aimed at tourists who want to make the most of their visit to Ireland (even if you are not in this category, enjoy!). They are therefore “beginner level” because there is a lot to share about Irish history, nature and culture. It is an area that has many enthusiasts. If you are one of them, you probably know a lot more about the subject than what is shared in the video. Keep in mind that the goal of all videos is to be at an introductory level so that visitors can make the most of their trip and start to familiarize themselves with what they will see when they visit Ireland. Please be kind in your words and remain courteous in the comments. I would love for you to share even more information in the comments so that everyone can continue to learn more about this beautiful island!

3 – Take responsibility for your own travels. These videos are meant to share my love for Ireland as an immigrant and to inspire future visitors. They are not meant to tell you what to do or how to do it. Traveling has its inherent dangers. Ireland is not an “organized” playground. It is a real country, with its own beauty and flaws. The roads are narrow and winding. There are rarely any barriers at the cliffs. The mountains are slippery and the bogs are soggy. Be prepared accordingly when you visit. Be smart, don’t take unnecessary risks, and take responsibility for your own travels. By being well prepared and making smart decisions, I hope you have a great time and that our videos have played a small part in your enjoyment.
