About Happy Irish Wanderers
We’re Kevin and Kate, a full-time travel couple and published authors from Ireland, exploring the world since 2022.
We’ve gone overland from Cairo to Cape Town by public transport, backpacked the Pamir Highway, taken the train from Beijing to Hong Kong and driven a full lap of Australia in a campervan — always planning our own itineraries and hunting out hidden gems along the way.
Through our real travel stories, first-hand destination guides and practical travel tips, we bring you the highs, the mishaps, and everything in between that comes with full-time travel around the world — always with a bit of Irish humour.

60 True Irish Stories You Won’t Believe
The forgotten stories of Ireland that never made it into the history books.
A monkey who crash-landed in Clonakilty. An Irishman who robbed people in Australia while riding an ostrich. And a bear whose story is so extraordinary, you’ll have to read it twice.
★★★★★“So well written and a real page turner… Buy it, you will not be disappointed.”
