If you think Ireland is just about rain and Guinness, this episode will change your mind. Paula sits down with Dani — a Dublin local and founder of Nomadeire— for an insider's guide to one of Europe's most underrated holiday destinations. From wild coastal hikes to cozy pub sessions with live music, Dani shares all the things only locals know that make Dublin and Ireland so special.
In this episode:
Why Dublin punches above its weight as a European capital — English-speaking, startup-friendly, and just a two-hour flight from most of Europe
The best coastal escapes within 30 minutes of the city, including Howth's cliff walk, Malahide beach, and the Bray-to-Greystones coastal path
Getting around without a car — what's easy on public transport and when you'll need to rent one (think Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way)
The real Guinness debate: where locals actually drink it, what a drop of blackcurrant does to it, and why it tastes different outside Ireland
Hidden gems including Johnny Fox's pub in Wicklow, the Gravediggers pub, Cornucopia for vegetarian food, and the seafood chowder you'll still be thinking about
Why summer and September are surprisingly brilliant times to visit — sea swimming, saunas by the ocean, and the Wim Hof experience you didn't sign up for
Danny's dream three-day Dublin itinerary: coastal hiking + fish and chips, city centre history and free museums, and a night of live Irish music and dancing
Nomad Era's annual festival in Naas, County Kildare (1–3 September), where digital nomads pitch to investors, learn AI, go horse riding, and finish the evening in a local pub
