Earlier this summer, I returned home after ten years travelling around the world and decided to start walking around Ireland. I am taking this adventure because I enjoy walking, camping and spending time outdoors.
With my backpack, tent and camera, I started walking from my brother’s front door in Dublin. Since then, I have walked for 69 days and over 2,250km, from Dublin to Cork and all the way up the west coast to Donegal.
I am now in Antrim, Northern Ireland with just 400km to go until Dublin.
Please feel free to ask me anything in the comments.
Here are some pictures of the trip:

I camp wherever I can find a quiet spot. Beside golf course, in the mountains etc etc.
