Hello and welcome!
Originating from Germany, my family and I have a second home in Ireland, where we ran a motorbike rental business for several years. During that time, I started this blog, initially with articles about Ireland only.
Since then, it has continued to grow: Wales, Scotland, England, France and other European countries will follow.
What is particularly important to me is real information and experiences from real people who have actually been to the place.
With ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI, you can get lists of sights and must-see places – which is fine at first. The information usually comes from the websites of the tourism providers in the respective locations.
However, many of these places are actually completely overrun, crowded or otherwise annoying. Other, truly beautiful places are not mentioned at all.
We do things differently here: I tell you where we've been, which lesser-known places are beautiful (even without a lot of marketing) and which super-famous places are actually amazing (despite a lot of marketing). And I will not tell you that a so called must-see-place is amazing, if it was not.
With that in mind, enjoy reading!
Yours, Ulrich Knüppel-Gertberg
