No two things evoke excitement quite like a good book and travel. One allows you to mentally transport yourself into a fascinating new realm, while the latter allows you to physically head to the destination. Pair the two together and you have a formula strong enough to inspire even the most timid of travelers.

Lush green countryside, ruined castles and lucky charms are not the only things that make up the fascinating Emerald Isle. On your next – or first – trip to this verdant land, prepare for the toe-tapping sound of the fiddle as you head to Killarney for a truly immersive experience Irish dancing.
