Counting down the days until Summer Holidays are here. The last days in Paris have been quite hectic.

I love how peaceful and pretty Paris looks in the sunset after a hot and crazy day, but still have a great longing to be in nature for a while, hiking mountains, discovering soft beaches, falaises and rivers. 

I will be visiting Ireland in August for the first time and am a little anxious about having to pack my rain boots and cashmere sweaters for the moody weather. It is a beautiful place, however, and has become known for its myriad of castles, many of them are abandoned or in ruins, while others were restored and worth a visit.

Here are just a few of the most beautiful places I would like to visit while in Ireland, or as it is known: The Emerald Isle.
