Interview: Tweeting Goddess Samantha Kelly’s favourite places in Ireland
Travel Interview Series on Twitter Spaces
I recently interviewed some cool, notable people about their favourite places in their home city/country to inspire travellers to visit once we can travel again.
I wanted to know more about Ireland, so I interviewed (the first in the series) the lovely “tweeting goddess,” Samantha Kelly, who is an Irish entrepreneur, Twitter expert and CEO of Women’s Inspire Network, a global networking organization for female entrepreneurs. She is known for her Twitter handle @TweetingGoddess. I got to know Sam having shared some Twitter Spaces together.
So I asked Sam, who has a strong love for her home country of Ireland, what places she loves in Ireland are – and why you will love them, too.

Samantha Kelly’s top reasons to love Ireland:
1) Fanore, County Clare, a village on the West coast known for its fishing, beach, walking, surfing (and surfing lessons), seafood and cycling, and also popular for botanists.
2) Rosslare Harbour, County Wexford, known as Ireland’s ancient east, is filled with culture, attractions and festivals, lovely beaches, horseback riding, trail walking and a secret garden known for its peace and tranquility.
3) Glengarrif, County Cork. You can take a lovely boat trip, lovely walking trails, water sports, music festival.
4) Killmore Quay, Wexford, which has “the best fish and chips in the world.” It is a fishing village near Killmore, offering sailing, see angling, a seafood Festival, and there are two small islands nearby which have the largest bird sanctuary in Ireland where you can find puffins and seals.
5) Kinsale, County Cork, which has two 17th century fortress, yachting, sea angling, golf, art galleries, food festivals and a marina. It is known as one of the “20 most beautiful villages in Ireland and the UK” according to Conde Nast.
