Great day today on Sandycove beach and despite the forecasts showing rain, we got a beautiful rainbow 🌈🌊 We had a nice sea swimming event as part of the First Fortnight Festival - a festival that challenges mental health prejudice through arts and culture - organised by @cleancoasts - an environmental organisation that protects the coast and the sea in Ireland. Being by the sea is such a great way to reconnect with yourself and the positive effects of open water swimming are well known. Seeing so many happy faces today was just amazing! 😍💙 I'm still not as brave as the many people who jumped in the water many times today or enjoyed a very long swim in this cold weather 🥶 but it sounds like a good challenge for the new year 😎💪 #cleancoasts #firstfortnight #seaswimming #openwaterswimming #dublin #ireland #visitdublin #2minutebeachclean #dublin4all #visitireland #instaireland #ig_europe #traveltheworld #worldplaces #staycurious #backpacking #roadtripping #zainoinspalla #barefoot #spiaggia #winterswimming

As always, these 2 weeks back home went way too fast! 😭 Here are some pictures of Christmas day on the beach where I spent most of my summers as a child. 😊 I also took some time to do a #2minutebeachclean with my sister @amanda_santoro_ (picture #2) and tried my brand new GoPro (picture #3)that I won last month in a photography competition! 😎 #italy #instasalento #salento #lecce #gallipoli #puglia #seashepherd #insta_salento #weareinpuglia #weareitaliantravellers #backpacking #roadtripping #traveltheworld #worldplaces #staycurious #environment #lovethesea #lovetheplanet #doyourbit

We couldn't resist and decided to check out Locorotondo ourselves to see the Christmas decorations everybody was talking about 🎄 I have always wanted to visit this town and it turned out to be just as beautiful as the many other little towns in the Bari area! 😍 Locorotondo is famous both for its location on top a hill with a great view of the Valle d'Itria (we watched and incredible sunset as you can see in picture #9) and also for its all white walls. Now during this festive season, the bright colours of the decorations create an incredible atmosphere, even for someone who doesn't really like Christmas 😇 I can't wait to be back here in the summer and explore this cute little town 💛 #locorotondo #puglia #bari #weareinpuglia #weareitaliantravellers #homeforchristmas #traveltheworld #worldplaces #staycurious #backpacking #roadtripping #zainoinspalla #daytrip #europe #italy #ig_europe #igersitalia #borghi #colline #valleditria #fontana #bianco #hiddengems #ontheroad #borghiditalia #travelnotes

A little #throwback to Christmas 2017 🎄 Instagram reminds me that two years ago today I was in the beautiful Cartagena, ready to spend my first Christmas in a hot country! ☀️ Cartagena is such amazing city, we jumped into a mud volcano (El Totumo), we met some palenqueras and we even went for a swim on Christmas day!! But nothing beats being home for this holiday 😍🤸‍♀️ #cartagena #colombia #southamerica #discovercolombia #traveltheworld #worldplaces #staycurious #backpacking #roadtripping #zainoinspalla #barefoot #christmas #stillsummer #discoversouthamerica #2yearsagotoday #travelnotes #travelblog

First Christmas at home in 3 years and I'm so excited 🤩🤸‍♀️⛄ It's 18 degrees here, even though it looks like I have brought some rain with me from Ireland 😅 Here's my favourite Christmas window in Galatina!! 🎄🎅🎁 #galatina #salento #lecce #puglia #europestyle_ #insta_salento #instaireland #weareitaliantravellers #vieniamangiareinpuglia #salentogram #ig_europe #ig_salento #christmas #home #pasticciotto #window #traveltheworld #worldplaces #staycurious #backpacking #roadtripping #zainoinspalla #finalmenteacasa #natale #vetrine #cartolinesalentine
