About Doorway to Ireland

My name is Ryan Hawkins, creator of Doorway to Ireland.

In a time where most people get their travel ideas from short social posts from people who have visited Ireland once or twice, the goal of Doorway to Ireland is to cut through all that noise and use my experience of many years visiting Ireland to help you plan your dream trip to the Emerald Isle.
