Sunny Sightings in Ireland

December 11, 2012

Ireland may have its fair share of rainy days but my trip was filled with sunshine, which is why I’ve decided to dedicate an entire photo post to the sunshine filled skies of the Irish countryside.

City Escape – one of Dublin’s most scenic parks. It’s perfect for a quick break from busy city life. This particular one is Iveagh Gardens and it’s located behind the more popular St. Stephens Green making it a true hidden gem.

The Ring of Kerry – this photo was taken from the “Ladies’ View” of Kilarney National Park. From here you can see the Gap of Dunloe, Ross Castle and the Black Valley.

Kilarney Close Up – This is one of many photographs I took during our nearly two hour walk through the park, led by a guide who literally knew every solitary detail about Ireland’s past, present and future (John of SouthWestWalks)

Finding my Secret Garden – I’m slightly obsessed with gardens so naturally, I had a field day walking through the Muckross House gardens and surrounding grounds before taking the indoor tour.

Riding into the sun – The sun kept shining during our horse carriage ride through Killarney National Park all the way to Ross Castle. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Lazy Afternoons – I can’t think of a better way to spend a lazy day than by taking a ride in one of these boats. It was very comforting to watch all the little children playing around the pond.

Morning Bears its Sleepy Head – I’m still in awe of my view from my Bed & Breakfast. Watching the sun rise over the coastal rocks and neighboring fields was pure magic and certainly unlike anything I’d seen before.

My Morning View – another shot of my morning view just minutes later after the sun had risen in the sky. It was by far the best backdrop I could have imagined.

Exploring Sicily’s Food and Wine Scene with WalkingWomen

As someone who used to travel full-time, a lot has changed for me in the past few years. Pandemic aside, I’ve been more intentional about where, and how often, I travel. A big part of that has to do with finding beauty in what I used to view as mundane; things like a morning routine

Memories from My Childhood Summers in Charleston—Plus 5 Sights to See

4 May, 2021 No Comments

For about six or seven summers in a row, my family would make the car drive from our home in the D.C. suburbs to Charleston, South Carolina. While my dad’s family hailed from the Boston area, my mom’s family had southern roots and on summers when we couldn’t visit both sides of the family, we’d

Every so often, I write about a destination I haven’t been to. As much as I love recounting trips and sharing my experiences here on Bohemian Trails, I also love to dream; dream about people and places I’ve never crossed paths with. That’s the traveler in me, the explorer that believes in the magic of

My Favorite Caribbean Islands to Escape to This Winter

Winter is in full swing, which means that there’s still time to plan that weekend getaway. An east-coaster from birth and having lived in New York for seven years, the Caribbean remains my go-to winter destination. In many cases, you’ll find direct flights (or nearly direct) and within a few hours, you are on a
