Today marks a significant milestone in our virtual journey as I celebrate reaching 500 visitors from Ireland, an achievement that fills me with immense gratitude and excitement. What makes this moment even more special is knowing that these readers come from across 14 of Ireland’s 26 counties—a testament to the rich diversity and vibrant curiosity of this beautiful land.
As this virtual journey continues, I hope to connect with even more corners of Ireland and celebrate the unique stories and perspectives each county brings. Thank you to my Irish readers for your support, your time, and for making this milestone one to remember. Here’s to exploring the remaining counties together—one story, one connection, one milestone at a time!
Ireland has always held a special place in my heart, not only for its breathtaking landscapes and deep cultural heritage but also for the warmth and engagement of its people. To know that my words have resonated with so many of you, scattered across counties from Donegal to Cork, Galway to Dublin, is incredibly humbling.
This milestone refers to people outside the WordPress platform who access the site through other means, such as browser searches or links from other applications, such as Facebook or Twitter. A big thank you to all these Irish readers who have been following my site and have shown their appreciation for the topics I have covered. Ireland is in the top 15 countries of origin of the audience that follow my blog.
As I reflect on this achievement, it’s not just about the numbers but the stories, people, and memories that have enriched our exploration. We’ve tasted regional cuisines, learned about local traditions, and connected with the communities that make each state special. Thank you, dear readers, for accompanying me on this adventure. Your enthusiasm and curiosity have fueled my exploration, and we’re excited to continue uncovering the hidden gems and untold stories that lie within the borders of this remarkable nation. Here’s to the next chapter of discovery, as we continue to explore, learn, and celebrate the Irish cultural heritage.
For me, this is a great achievement, especially since I started publishing in English from the very beginning on my blog but I have not featured specifically topics about Ireland. I have not been able to achieve such extensive coverage in other English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom or Canada. I take these audience statistics from the Flag Counter web application, which provides automated information about website visitors and their region of origin.
Ireland, an island nation in northwest Europe, has a population of approximately 5.1 million as of 2025. Its demographic structure is relatively young, with a median age of around 38 years. The population density is about 74 people per square kilometer, with urban centers like Dublin, Cork, and Limerick being the most densely populated. Ireland has a high life expectancy, averaging 82 years. The country experiences steady population growth, driven by natural increase and immigration. Ethnically, it is predominantly Irish, with growing communities of European, African, and Asian descent. English is the main language, alongside Irish (Gaeilge), a constitutionally recognized language.
Over time, I have covered a variety of topics on which I write in English. Below there is a list with links to the most popular articles in English, selected for their relevance for a. Irish audience, under the six main topics I cover in my blog. I hope you find these links useful.
- Translated literature
- Oscar Wilde
- Oscar Wilde, born in Dublin in 1854, was profoundly influenced by his Irish heritage. Raised in a literary household, his mother, a nationalist poet, and his father, a historian, instilled in him a love of myth and storytelling. This influence is evident in his poetic prose, including The Happy Prince and Other Tales and The Picture of Dorian Gray, which blend lyrical beauty with moral complexity. Wilde’s works echo Ireland’s rich oral traditions, exploring universal themes like sacrifice, vanity, and redemption. Though he lived much of his life abroad, Wilde’s writing reflects the enduring impact of his Irish roots.
- Federico García Lorca
- Walt Whitman
- Fernando Pessoa
- Arthur Rimbaud
- Luigi Pirandello
- Horacio Quiroga
- Visual Art
- Music
- Travel
- Good food
- Photography
Perhaps this is also an opportunity to thank all the readers of other English-speaking countries who follow me with so much affection. Among them readers from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and India.
