Fueling Wanderlust: 20 Photos to Make You Visit Ireland

 

Known as “The Emerald Isle,” Ireland lives up to its name no matter what part you travel to, and it is a country that fuels my wanderlust like no other. Falling in love with the country was the easy part; I fell in love while dancing and singing in the local pubs, I fell in love while standing on a cliff looking at nothing but the Atlantic Ocean, and I fell in love with the people everywhere I went. I left part of my heart in Ireland, and I am so happy I did because it was well worth it.

Here are 20 pictures that will make you want to jump on a plane headed for Ireland and never look back again!

20. Last but not least, there is nothing like seeing a double rainbow when in Ireland. I’m sure I could have found the pot of gold if I weren’t so mesmerized by everything else the country had to offer.
