Solo Female Travel Itinerary: Weekend Road Trip in Ireland with My Dog
Solo travel as a woman can be freeing but also a little intimidating, especially if you’re heading somewhere remote. Few places in Ireland get more remote than County Kerry. I’m based in Dublin, but when presented with the opportunity to get out of the city for a long bank holiday weekend, I seized it. Full disclosure: this was my first road trip alone! Unless you count my dog, which I do, so it was a great starter solo trip – like traveling solo in light mode. Luckily, Kerry has everything you could ever want to do and more in Ireland, so I knew we’d be too busy to be lonely. Read on for my solo female traveler tips, things I’d do differently next time, and the full four-day road trip itinerary through Kerry, Ireland.
