With a doctor of medicine from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Kenneth (Ken) Mwatha serves as an emergency physician in one of Baltimore, Maryland’s most active emergency departments. Outside of his professional life, Dr. Ken Mwatha enjoys traveling and has been to numerous destinations worldwide, including Ireland.
Traveling to any foreign country can be an exciting but sometimes confusing and intimidating experience. Fortunately, these three tips will help you make the most of your first trip to Ireland.
1. Rent a Car - While many travelers prefer to use public transportation when visiting a new location, renting a car in Ireland affords you the ability to visit the country’s many rural areas. With the Irish countryside playing such a major role in the country’s character, charm, and beauty, missing this countryside means you will miss a large part of what makes Ireland such a wonderful place.
2. Book Trains in Advance - If you do opt for public transportation, traveling by train often offers luxuries you will not get on a bus, including free wifi, bathrooms, and electrical outlets to charge your devices. You can save money by booking your tickets in advance, with Irish Rail often providing heavy discounts for advanced online booking.
3. Shop Tax-Free - Provided you are visiting Ireland from any country outside of the European Union, you are entitled to tax-free shopping during your visit. Before your trip, apply for a Fexco Horizon card, which will track any tax paid on purchases at affiliated stores, restaurants, and vendors. When it comes time to go home, you can claim the sales tax back right at the airport.
