I set out on an ambitious roadtrip and covered 1,200KM in five days. This marked my 30th country and first foreign roadtrip.

I have many lasting memories chatting with locals while watching the puffins on Saltee Island, sitting at many pub bars, and often while refueling my car in the countryside.

Driving the local and regional roads will be a lasting memory and one I am glad to have as I avoided the motorway and national roads.

I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from my roadtrip as they’re also some of my favorite photos that I’ve taken traveling.

Camera Gear: Sony A7RV + Sony 20G + Tamron 28-75 VXD + Sony 70-200GMII

  3. Great photos, especially love the last one of the puffin. Glad to hear you enjoyed our lovely little country, tell your friends and come back any time!

  6. That last photo is excellent. Chap looks like he changed his mind about being on camera.

  7. One of? One of?! Nay, definitely the most beautiful of all.

  8. Ah lovely, and what a talent you have. The landscapes I’m more used to but the first and the last puffin photo are outstanding, what a moment to catch!

  10. Last photo should be put forward for photo competitions!

  12. Thank you for visiting and sharing your beautiful photos

  15. You have a serious talent! Sell #7 to the Irish Tourism Board lol

  19. Incredible pictures, thanks for sharing! You captured some really beautiful shots.

  20. Maybe if that pufiin in the first picture wasn’t so greedy he’d have been able fly more gracefully in the last picture.

    Some really good pics there.

  24. I love seeing photos of reland like these because it reminds me that this place is actually rather lovely.

    You just need to step back and change your perspective sometimes to take it all in.

  25. OP what’s your camera set up? I’m obsessed with those puffin shots you got
