Link Round Up For #TBEXIreland/TBEX Europe 2017 in Killarney, Ireland

We met for #TBEXIreland in the land of stories where iconic cliffs have been sculpted by the wild Atlantic surf crashing below. Where ancient burial sites and tumbled stone remnants of houses built thousands of years ago spin a powerful narrative of life, death, struggle, and immense courage. Where sheep instinctively wander and graze the vast spans of fertile, emerald-green farmland, and residents are fiercely proud of their familial ancestry, their Gaelic culture, and the sacred soil on which they’ve lived for multitudes of generations.

We gathered in Killarney where the locals showered us with the warmest of Irish welcomes. We roamed the Wild Atlantic Way, the Beara Peninsula, and the Ring of Kerry. We connected over artisan cheeses, pottery and pints in Dingle, and dined on modern interpretations of classic Irish fare in Cork which we discovered is one of the hottest pasture-to-plate regions in the world. We indulged ourselves on jaunting car rides along the misty the shores of Lough Leane, communed with locals in their favorite pubs, and soon discovered that this 1,300+ year old Monastic settlement has a history and culture that’s as unique and captivating as the people who call it home. Yes, we quickly fell in love with every magnificent wanderlust kilometer of southwest Ireland.

We also learned – valuable information for mastering our preferred media and publishing platforms. We discovered proven methods for honing our craft, marketing our content, and strengthening our brand. We gleaned advice and techniques from industry experts for capitalizing on a sound business strategy. And we connected with brands in collective partnerships. That’s what brings bloggers, vloggers and travel marketing influencers to TBEX, and what keeps them coming back time after time.

But most importantly, TBEX is about the people. People like you.
