Galway, Ireland Travel Video Guide

[MrDarksultan]

I'm moving there in two years!

[dakotahblu]

I love at the end of the video when Diarmuid talks about the water in Galway. The very first time I went there that is what struck me most, was the Corrib just crashing wildly through the city. It had this energy to it. It was late Spring, so there was plenty of water coming into the Loughs off the mountains, and then funneling down and through the weir. That moment nearly 12 years ago now that I fell in love with Galway. There is a crazy sort of electricity in the city, that is addictive.

[overlander]

@dakotahblu Diarmud summed up that energy very well I think, I also like how he talked about the geology of the land and how it influences the people north and south of Galway

[alteye1]

My hometown :) Live in Dublin now but i go there and visit my parents and granparents as often I can. Its always good for a recovering from city life and workaday life. I so love the rainy weather, it just fits the city and the atmosphere so well. Cant wait for winter to come. You just pick one of the numerous pubs (theyre all great in there way) and have a wonderful and cosy time. :) Galway my love

[conneellyp]

I lived in galway for over 25 years but had to move to australia due to the economy down turn, I miss the night life and heading down to the local for a pint and watching soccer on the Saturday,if Ireland had the good economy back and good weather it would be the best country on earth.

[djguy100]

@conneellyp Im an Irishman in London and i have to agree. Ireland is the best country in the world. Hopefully our economy picks up so we can go back

[promathia1]

OMg. I fcking miss Galway. I did a Study Abroad during the Summer this year. I miss the people I was with and the new people i met. Ireland was awesome! so where the bars and clubs and history. got to the Aren Islands!

I am Irish American, my grandpa actually speaks gaelic.I visited Ireland when I was a kid,my family and I took a long trip across Europe actually.We loved Ireland, I remember the people being some of the most kind and welcoming I have ever met.Theres such a great atmosphere to Ireland that makes you feel right at home.Not what we found with the French and the English.I long to go back to Ireland,Galway is just beautiful.although love my home,California

[2tumbacat]

A wonderful city, vibrant, and with a great mix of pubs and narrow streets. I can see where it can kill ambition, as I would be in Taafees or Tig Coeli or the Quays half the week. Going back next month.

[mac21982]

went there 2months ago. best time of my life. good food, drink and the people were super nice

[BohemianBanditt]

lol dats steve(not his real name) da devil!I love dat guy hes such a buzzer!

[JacksonDReynolds]

That was beautiful - I want to visit quite badly now!

[DSVOP]

Good work 'overlander' you should try and release these commercially. They would generate a steady little income stream, allowing you to do more of the same.

Thanks for sharing.

[Anais1981]

I watched this vid about six months ago, before going to Galway. I liked at that time, and I was so excited about the idea of going there...

Now I'm back home after 4 months there and watching this video again..., what can I say?. Now I know all those places!, I see/feel me there*.*, how I miss Galway!.

[AbcSchoolOfPolish]

I would love to visit the place one more time. Thanks for the video.

[parkerlove2007]

okay here's the thing. my university does exchanges programs all over the world and i have an opportunity to go to galway. i dunno if i should go bc i've never heard of it (sorry to all you geography buffs out there) and i just searched it on google and that wasn't all to useful. i guess i'm asking if i should even go there. lol.

[declan3906]

Of course you should go!

[DSVOP]

It is an experience, Galway is a very special city, old, yet young, with a very young population and great entertainment.

The Galway Bay on a hot summers afternoon is the best place to get a tan, at 9pm.

Galway is a beauty, you owe it to yourswelf to enjoy this beauty in your own time, and your own way.

Full of history too, and pubs, good looking girls, wonderful countryside.

I'd go if i was you, but, I'm biased, Galway is my home town, even though I am far away, it still is magic.

[kowekokun]

I am goign there this year on an ERASMUS program :)

[Mattts90]

Good, I would like to visit Galway sometime :-)

[summerbeachh]

oh my god i love all your videos! this is my dream job! i love how your not just talking about the tourist attractions but how you meet locals and really get a sense of the culture and history! your series should be on tv in america!

[overlander]

thanks summerbeachh, I appreciate your positive comment

[dunloy10]

This is a great piece and a very interesting series. I recommend watching the others. Better than most travel shows. I attribute that to finding interesting characters in each town and building the story around the people.

[overlander]

thanks dunloy. I enjoy the challenge of rolling into a place and finding a local to tell their story.

[Anais1981]

Soon I'll be there!!:-)

[Anais1981]

You're back home again girl!:D

I wish I could turn back in time and write this comment again:D

[kensington25]

An absolutely beautiful video. A fascinating and wonderful culture.
