I want to go to Ireland because it looks like a beautiful country! I have heritage on my father’s side that I would love to explore. And really I just want to soak up the beauty and adventure the land has to offer :-)

I am a 24 year old female from Canada in the late stages of planning a solo backpacking trip to Ireland. Are there any concerns about traveling solo? I anticipate I will meet people along the way in hostels and others. Plan is to go early to mid-May. I am flying into Dublin then heading to the West coast where I hope to explore by bike through a self-guided tour for about 6 days.
