KEY POINTS

  • A Black woman moved from New Jersey to Barcelona, Spain in 2024 and chose Ireland over home for Christmas.
  • She spent an indulgent weekend at Liss Ard Estate in West Cork, with rooms starting at 160 euros, enjoying nature and the James Turrell Sky Garden.
  • Her Christmas was in Dublin at Jacobs Inn hostel, featuring a surprise reggaeton club visit and adventurous access to The Little Pig Speakeasy.

In a power move juicier than a holiday ham, a Black woman fled New Jersey's political mess last December and landed in Spain before spontaneously jetting to West Cork, Ireland. She dropped about $186 a night on luxe Liss Ard Estate suites in Skibbereen because self-love > budget spreadsheets. Stumbling upon the James Turrell Irish Sky Garden, aka Jurassic Park's quiet cousin, she communed with green hills and grassy whispers like a mystical hobbit. Christmas Day brought retro vibes at Dublin's most peer-pressure-friendly hostel, Jacobs Inn, where reggaeton clubs reportedly crash the Irish neutrality. And sip-worthy sneaky cocktails? Found at The Little Pig Speakeasy after decoding payphone riddles, neon pigs, and a local's secret. Travel messy, survive festive madness, amplify nature's whispers—and recreate your holiday twisted tradition!
