Ireland is a place where the grass is greenest and the rain never forgets to RSVP.Nestled in the North Atlantic, it is full ofrolling hills, old castles, and pubs where strangers become best friends after three beers and have a lively debate about who really invented whiskey.To get a better understanding of this distinct corner of the world, let’s look at the Instagram account ‘Meanwhile in Ireland.’ Since 2014, it has regularly shared pictures and jokes that perfectly describe local life.Also, don’t miss the chat we had with travelerHelene Sula—you’ll find it in between the pictures.More info:InstagramThis post may includeaffiliate links.RELATED:Ireland has several distinct regional cultures rather than a single national one, and the daily lives of city dwellers are in some ways much different from those living in the countryside.For example, whereas Dublinis describedas one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities, the Blasket Islands of Dingle Bay, off Ireland’s southwestern coast, seem almost a throwback to earlier centuries.“Ireland’s charm lies in its breathtaking landscapes, from the rugged Cliffs of Moher to the serene rolling hills of the countryside,” Helene Sula, the woman behind the travel and lifestyle blogHelene in Between, toldBored Panda.“Its rich history, vibrant folklore, and iconic music traditions create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and welcoming.
