/ Ireland
The Emerald Isle of warm pubs and wild cliffs
Ireland is endless green, legendary pub hospitality and raw nature battered by the Atlantic. Dublin blends literary history, live music and good cheer, while the west coast unrolls dizzying cliffs and stone villages. For a Cameroonian the climate is a big change, but the warmth of the welcome quickly heats things up. Note: Ireland is not in the Schengen area and has its own visa. A short trip is enough to taste Dublin and dash out to the coast.
