Mayo on top travel blog

THOUSANDS of people in Germany and around the world are set to read all about Mayo and the Wild Atlantic Way following the visit of German travel bloggers Martin Merten and Carolin Steig, whose blog is called We Travel The World.

Martin and Carolin travel the world, showcasing their real-time journeys and broadcasting their stories and experiences through their writing, photos, video and engaging social media. They were here to experience Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way by campervan – so they could inspire their readers and followers to come and discover Ireland for themselves.

During their time here, the bloggers visited Westport and climbed Croagh Patrick. They also visited Achill Island and later drove Doolough Pass.

Zoë Redmond, Tourism Ireland’s manager for Central Europe, said: “Martin and Carolin’s blog is very popular, so their visit was a fantastic opportunity to create a major impression on their followers, as they explored the Wild Atlantic Way and shared their experiences.”
