Doughboys – Sandwiches with bite
"Doughboys" in Dublin is no boring high street sandwich shop. The real treats here are for the carnivores amongst us: seek out their porchetta...

The Market Bar – Tapas in unusual surroundings
"The Market Bar" in what is now known as Dublin's Cultural Quarter. There, you can find a tapas-focused bar - I recommend the cheap lunch menu...

Dublin Barista School – An education in coffee
"Dublin Barista School" is the perfect example of my theory that, when it comes to coffee, you actually get more if you're paying less...

Irish Design Shop – Trove of Irish treasures
"Irish Design Shop" in Dublin is the perfect shop to get that unique memento or gift to bring back home. No longer do I have to send friends cliché gifts!

Whitefriar Street Church – Dublin for romantics
"Whitefriar Street Church" in is the home to the relics of Saint Valentine himself. It should be on top of your list if you're planning a romantic visit!

The Bridge 1859 – Not your average sports bar
"The Bridge 1859", owned by four of Ireland's best known rugby players, is probably one of the best places to enjoy a drink if you're in Dublin for a game.

Neon – Dublin's street food
"Neon" in Dublin is as authentic a Thai restaurant as it can get outside of Thailand. A nice little extra is the ice cream cone they bring to your table!

John Fallons – St. Patrick's local
"John Fallons" is one of Dublin's finest little pubs, only feet away from Saint Patrick's cathedral. I like how easy it is to strike up a conversation here

About me
About me
I was born here in Dublin where I now live and work after some time spent in both London and the Netherlands. I am a part-time picture editor for a national newspaper and freelance travel writer.
Besides travel I love my food and attending gigs.
Why Dublin?
With some of the best music, food, and of course bars, there is a welcoming buzz to my city to rival any, which is why I love Dublin. The Irish are known throughout the world for being welcoming and I like to think that you will find that wherever you go.
A short drive from both the mountains and the sea I think Dublin offers something special which you won't find in other cities.
