Ireland will treat you well, no doubt! Ireland is great because it’s small enough to see a lot in the week that you will be there. Everyone is so very nice, and I’m sure you will be fine, even though you are traveling along and you are a girl. Just be cautious, only because you never know. But really, out of all the places I’ve been in Europe, Ireland was the most hospitable. I actually got rides from three different people in Ireland, complete strangers, that is how friendly they are. I did have a weird experience in Northern Ireland, but then again it’s not really considered Ireland. My favorite places were the Ring of Kerry, and the little town of Doolin, near the Cliffs of Moher (which is one of the most captivating places in Ireland). You can take a train from coast to coast in as little as three hours, which is nice. Even though Dublin is a fairly small enough town you could almost spend your whole week there if you really wanted to, considering it will be cold, and might not be fun to travel too much in. But bottom line, This country is my all time favorite! I actually would love to live there someday. I think that no matter what you do, and no matter where you go, your bound to find a friend, and have a great time! Have so much fun!
