Global Irish Travel

Wanderlust. . . . It’s part of the Irish experience. Maybe it’s even in the DNA.

But from the voyages of St. Brendan, through the exile of the earls, to the many waves of emigration, up to today’s globetrotting expats and tourists, the penchant for the Irish to want to see the world beyond is well known. Heck, Van Morrison even wrote song about it.

With that in mind, we begin.

The Wild Geese Global Irish Travel group aims to provide a vehicle for members to share their wisdom and experiences by posting destination articles, reviews, and travel tips. In time, with the cooperation of industry partners, we envision setting up tours and discounts to Ireland and/or other sites of Irish interest.

So, if you’re the kind of Irish man or woman who’s always got a bag packed for the next adventure, come join us!  The boarding gate is open.

Your Experience on Irish Roads 'Less Traveled'

Mike Quane posted this story a few days ago, about Clare's Quin Abbey:

Gang, it seems there are numerous stories we Irish wayfarers might share about adventures we encountered in diverting from our planned itineraries. Share some with us.

    Thanks for your kind words about my Quin Aaey article. Yes, I have had memorable experiences when I've gone "off the beaten path," such as following the Military Road in the Wicklow Mountains, and stopping at the Irish Raptor Center in Sligo.
