Drift Through Ireland
Share
I travel across Ireland for work—and take you with me. Hi, I’m the Nomadic Nurse 👋
By day, I care for patients across Ireland. buymeacoffee.com/dtireland
Drift through peaceful roads & hidden villages
Follow on YouTube👇 :
https://youtube.com/@driftthroughireland By road, I drift through its backroads, coastlines, and quiet beauty, camera rolling. As a travelling nurse, I move from county to county for work. Most of the footage you see on this channel? It’s captured while driving to and from shifts, sometimes I even stop on the way home just to snap a view that took my breath away. Drift Through Ireland is my way of sharing those peaceful moments with you, the kind of scenery that calms the mind and slows the heart. If my videos have helped you relax, reminisce, or just pause for a moment, you can support the journey here with A CUP OF COFFEE
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dtireland — or help fill the tank for the next drive.😉
Every bit goes toward fuel, gear, and keeping these drifts going. Thanks for being part of the ride 💚

EVERYONE IS AN IRELAND EXPERT NOW
Social media has given everyone a microphone.
And somehow, it has also given everyone a teaching position.
Someone visits Ireland once and starts explaining Ireland to the Irish.
Someone hears one story about Dublin and suddenly knows what "Irish people" are like.
Someone sees a video about housing, immigration, driving, pubs, history or Irish culture and shares it as fact without checking where it came from.
Then someone else shares it.
Then someone else.
Soon, a claim that started with one person's guess is being repeated by thousands of people.
That doesn't make it true.
Views don't make something true.
Confidence doesn't make something true.
Being Irish doesn't automatically make someone an expert on every subject in Ireland either.
And being from outside Ireland doesn't automatically make someone's observation wrong.
The question should always be:
How do you know?
Where did the information come from?
Is there evidence?
Is it current?
Is this actually a fact, or is someone simply telling us what they think?
There is nothing wrong with having an opinion.
There is nothing wrong with sharing your experience.
But there is a big difference between saying:
"This is what happened to me."
and saying:
"This is how Ireland is."
We need to learn that difference.
Because the internet has given almost everybody a microphone.
It hasn't given everybody knowledge.
And you don't have to believe something simply because someone confidently said it into a camera.

THE DRIVER YOU CAN'T SEE COMING
There’s something about driving in Ireland that worries me more than bad weather.
It’s the person in the car behind you who is looking at their phone.
You see it everywhere.
WhatsApp.
Text messages.
Scrolling.
Checking notifications.
Sometimes you're sitting in traffic and the cars ahead start moving.
Everyone moves...
Except one car.
Because the driver is looking down at their phone.
A gap opens up.
Then they suddenly realise everyone has moved and drive forward.
And you think:
“What if I had stopped suddenly?”
That's the scary part.
You can drive carefully.
You can keep your distance.
You can obey the speed limit.
But you can't control what the person coming towards you is doing.
And it's not just young drivers.
You see people of every age doing it.
Sometimes there are children sitting in the back.
That part really gets me.
Imagine carrying your most precious people in the car and still thinking that message can't wait 30 seconds.
Maybe the message really is important.
But so is getting home.
Have you noticed how common phone use while driving has become in Ireland?
And honestly...
Have you ever caught yourself checking your phone while driving?
No judgement.
Just be honest.

“TURN LEFT WHERE THE OLD SHOP USED TO BE”
If you’ve ever asked for directions in rural Ireland, you know exactly what I mean. 😂
Forget Google Maps.
You’ll be told:
“Go down the road.”
“Take the second left after the big house.”
“You’ll see where the old pub was.”
And somehow, the person giving you directions is completely confident.
The funny thing is, these landmarks may have disappeared 20 years ago.
But everyone still knows where they were.
Irish directions are basically local history disguised as navigation.
What’s the funniest Irish direction you’ve ever been given?
Drifting through Ireland, one questionable set of directions at a time.
Some place in Dublin

What makes Dublin

🇮🇪 Dublin Airport. More Than Just an Airport.
Every day, thousands of people pass through Dublin Airport.
Some are arriving home after years away.
Some are saying to someone they love.
Some are starting a completely new chapter.
Behind every suitcase is a story.
I put together a short journey through Dublin Airport today, but this isn't really a video about an airport.
It's about home, departures, reunions, memories and the journeys that change our lives.
🎥 Watch it here:
https://youtu.be/HvFh8zDeWWU?is=IeDxkE_BSjeFoP21
And tell me this:
What's the strongest memory you have of Dublin Airport?
A homecoming?
A goodbye?
Your first trip abroad?
Or perhaps someone arriving who you hadn't seen in years?
I'd love to hear the story. 🇮🇪
Drift Through Ireland is about more than roads and scenery.
It's about the places, memories and stories that make Ireland feel like Ireland.

Merrion Square
Red bricks, ancient doors and windows.
Still standing strong.
TALLEST BUILDINGS IN DUBLIN
To many people, the Liberty Hall (SIPTU) was the tallest building in Dublin.
Now it’s College Square at 82m
And nothing beats the Poolbeg Chimneys at 207.8m for sheer height.
You can’t live in them, but you definitely can’t miss them.
Capital Dock is there at 79 m with 23 storys of habitable structure.
It's now the second tallest after College Square
The Dublin skyline is definitely changing

Liberty Hall, Eden Quay
You can’t miss it on the Liffey.
Built in 1965, it’s the HQ of SIPTU and stands on the site of the original Liberty Hall from the 1913 Dublin Lockout.
James Larkin and Jim Connolly walked these streets.
Today it’s home to Ireland’s largest trade union, but the building itself is part of Dublin’s labour history.
Next time you’re near Connolly Station, look up — that tower has stories.
