My travel bucket list/what I have actually seen



Hey guys,

this post is gonna be about my travel bucket list I’ve made in the beginning of my exchange year. You can see it in the picture below. All the places I’ve been to are marked with an x and Limerick is crossed out because I cancelled my wish of going there.

The places I’ve actually been to are:
Cobh
Cork
Middleton
Kinsale
Dublin
Killarney
Waterford
Galway
The cliffs of Moher
And a few places I don´t know the names of. Just a mountain and a forrest and some villages.







In the following I will talk a little bit about my trips there, my favorite places and of course I will add some pics. :)

Cork: my school was in Cork so I’ve been there literally every day. Cork is a beautiful city and I really enjoyed living so close to it. My favorite places are the asian restaurant “Ramen” and St. Patrick’s Street in general. Especially during the christmas time it looked awesome because of all the lights.




Middleton:
I’ve been to Middleton with Paulina during the christmas break. It is only a twenty minute train ride away from Cork but honestly you don’t miss anything if you don’t go there. It is just a small town. But they have a beautiful cathedral which I would consider to be my favorite place… 




Kinsale:
My hostmum took me to the Old head of Kinsale in the very beginning of my time here and it is more or less a smaller version of the cliffs of moher. Last sunday (20th of January), I went there again with two friends and we walked from Kinsale almost down to the Old Head. We had amazing weather and could really enjoy the cliffs and of course Ireland’s stunning green hills.






Dublin:
Apart from the orientation which was actually not really in Dublin I have been to Dublin only once. It was a day trip with Paulina on the 12th of January. I love the city and especially Grafton Street amazed me! It kinda reminds me of the German city Münster. I saw lots of beautiful places and honestly I don´t know which is my favourite. Probably the librabry of the Trinity college.






Killarney:
The first time I went there was with my hostfamily. We didn´t go to the actual town only to the national park. I highly recommend going there, it is an amazing place to go hiking. During the christmas break I went there a second time with Fiona. Together we went to an american diner and it was sooo good! And we also went to the national park.




Waterford:
Another trip I went on with Paulina was our trip to Waterford. My hostmum said she really likes Waterford but we didn´t like it that much. But we discovered a very cute cafe where we had amazing apple tarte. 







Galway:
That was Paulina´s and my first bigger trip. Galway was probably my favourite City in Ireland even though I´ve only been there for a couple Hours. Galway has loads of gorgeous churches and small lanes. Very cute City!








The cliffs of Moher:
Fiona, Jenna and I went there in october and I have to say it was AMAZING! The weather was literally perfect and we took many beautiful pictures. The cliffs are stunning and I beg y´all to go there when you visit Ireland.





I hope you´ve enjoyed the post!
