I travel across Ireland for work—and take you with me. Hi, I’m the Nomadic Nurse 👋
By day, I care for patients across Ireland. buymeacoffee.com/dtireland
Drift through peaceful roads & hidden villages
Follow on YouTube👇 :
https://youtube.com/@driftthroughireland By road, I drift through its backroads, coastlines, and quiet beauty, camera rolling. As a travelling nurse, I move from county to county for work. Most of the footage you see on this channel? It’s captured while driving to and from shifts, sometimes I even stop on the way home just to snap a view that took my breath away. Drift Through Ireland is my way of sharing those peaceful moments with you, the kind of scenery that calms the mind and slows the heart. If my videos have helped you relax, reminisce, or just pause for a moment, you can support the journey here with A CUP OF COFFEE

Every bit goes toward fuel, gear, and keeping these drifts going. Thanks for being part of the ride 💚

THE DRIVER YOU CAN'T SEE COMING
There’s something about driving in Ireland that worries me more than bad weather.
It’s the person in the car behind you who is looking at their phone.
You see it everywhere.
WhatsApp.
Text messages.
Scrolling.
Checking notifications.
Sometimes you're sitting in traffic and the cars ahead start moving.
Everyone moves...
Except one car.
Because the driver is looking down at their phone.
A gap opens up.
Then they suddenly realise everyone has moved and drive forward.
And you think:
“What if I had stopped suddenly?”
That's the scary part.
You can drive carefully.
You can keep your distance.
You can obey the speed limit.
But you can't control what the person coming towards you is doing.
And it's not just young drivers.
You see people of every age doing it.
Sometimes there are children sitting in the back.
That part really gets me.
Imagine carrying your most precious people in the car and still thinking that message can't wait 30 seconds.
Maybe the message really is important.
But so is getting home.
Have you noticed how common phone use while driving has become in Ireland?
And honestly...
Have you ever caught yourself checking your phone while driving?
No judgement.
Just be honest.

“TURN LEFT WHERE THE OLD SHOP USED TO BE”
If you’ve ever asked for directions in rural Ireland, you know exactly what I mean. 😂
Forget Google Maps.
You’ll be told:
“Go down the road.”
“Take the second left after the big house.”
“You’ll see where the old pub was.”
And somehow, the person giving you directions is completely confident.
The funny thing is, these landmarks may have disappeared 20 years ago.
But everyone still knows where they were.
Irish directions are basically local history disguised as navigation.
What’s the funniest Irish direction you’ve ever been given?
Drifting through Ireland, one questionable set of directions at a time.
Some place in Dublin

What makes Dublin

🇮🇪 Dublin Airport. More Than Just an Airport.
Every day, thousands of people pass through Dublin Airport.
Some are arriving home after years away.
Some are saying to someone they love.
Some are starting a completely new chapter.
Behind every suitcase is a story.
I put together a short journey through Dublin Airport today, but this isn't really a video about an airport.
It's about home, departures, reunions, memories and the journeys that change our lives.
🎥 Watch it here:

And tell me this:
What's the strongest memory you have of Dublin Airport?
A homecoming?
A goodbye?
Your first trip abroad?
Or perhaps someone arriving who you hadn't seen in years?
I'd love to hear the story. 🇮🇪
Drift Through Ireland is about more than roads and scenery.
It's about the places, memories and stories that make Ireland feel like Ireland.

Merrion Square
Red bricks, ancient doors and windows.
Still standing strong.
TALLEST BUILDINGS IN DUBLIN
To many people, the Liberty Hall (SIPTU) was the tallest building in Dublin.
Now it’s College Square at 82m
And nothing beats the Poolbeg Chimneys at 207.8m for sheer height.
You can’t live in them, but you definitely can’t miss them.
Capital Dock is there at 79 m with 23 storys of habitable structure.
It's now the second tallest after College Square
The Dublin skyline is definitely changing

Liberty Hall, Eden Quay
You can’t miss it on the Liffey.
Built in 1965, it’s the HQ of SIPTU and stands on the site of the original Liberty Hall from the 1913 Dublin Lockout.
James Larkin and Jim Connolly walked these streets.
Today it’s home to Ireland’s largest trade union, but the building itself is part of Dublin’s labour history.
Next time you’re near Connolly Station, look up — that tower has stories.
THE CUSTOM HOUSE DUBLIN
I drifted through this area recently and I was fascinated by the grandeur of this masterpiece.
Finished in 1791 by James Gandon, it was the heart of trade and tax in Georgian Dublin.
On May 25th 1921, the IRA set it on fire to destroy British tax records.
The building burned for 5 days.
The beautiful interior was lost and 7 firefighters died.
It was rebuilt in the 1980s and still stands on the Liffey today — a symbol of resilience.
If you’re near Connolly, go see it.
The dome and the 14 river-head keystones are incredible up close.
