About Us

Thank you for stopping by


We are Peter & Dolores De Bie. Together with our kids, we love travelling, trying new adventures & sampling local food. We love the great outdoors, hence a lot of our featured material is about the great outdoors, local walks and adventures, competitions,...

We started off in Sligo, which is the place we call home. After focussing on the beauty of co.Sligo, we decided to grow our website and write about our adventures along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Still not happy, we included in 2016 our adventures abroad as well.
All our trips are self experienced, none of our adventures are sponsored or paid trips. This means that all our content is unbiased. If we travel, we travel like everybody else. We sit in airport departure lounges, we eat the local food, we sleep in rental houses/hotels/B&B's... .

About Peter

Picture

Peter De Bie

After spending the first two decades of his life in Antwerp, Belgium, Peter made the move to Sligo, Ireland—where fate introduced him to Dolores.
A lifelong lover of the great outdoors, Peter found his passion in mountain biking during the 1990s, dedicating weekends to racing across the country. His sense of adventure was inherited from his parents, who preferred discovering Europe’s lesser-known gems to following typical tourist trails.
In fact, Peter’s first trip to Ireland came in the late 1970s, courtesy of his parents. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, the De Bie family continued exploring the island, favouring local transport, authentic food, and deep conversations with locals over traditional package holidays.
"After buying my first DSLR camera in Chicago, I started documenting my adventures and sharing them with the world on social media."

Dolores De Bie

Dolores, a lifelong resident of Sligo, discovered her passion for travel after meeting Peter. Inspired by his adventurous spirit, she began exploring the world beyond her hometown.
An accomplished photographer in her own right, Dolores shares her unique perspective through captivating images posted across Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Her talent for capturing intricate details breathes life into every photo, drawing viewers into moments both grand and intimate.
In recent years, Dolores has embraced the thrill of outdoor adventure. She’s gone cliff diving while coasteering along the Wild Atlantic Way, tried her hand at kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, and found joy in hiking through Ireland’s lush forest trails. Her enthusiasm for new experiences continues to grow, adding exciting chapters to her journey.
