- Travel vlog #31 | Co Roscommon, Ireland | Filmed December 2021 to January 2022
After Spain, we flew to Ireland to spend the holidays with Avic's brother, his Irish wife, and her family. Even though we're not directly family, we've always been treated like family there and we always love spending time with them in this beautiful country.
Most of our Irish Family, including Avic's brother, lives in their hometown of Elphin in County Roscommon. Located in the western province of Connacht, Roscommon has a long and rich history that includes Irish Kings and Queens, an ancient festival that became Halloween, a church founded by St. Patrick, and a great castle and estate.
While we've been to Ireland many times, there's always something new to explore and learn!

About Us:
-------------------------------------------------------
We are Matt and Avic; Matt grew up in Virginia, USA, and Avic in Quezon City, Philippines. Since we started dating back in the 1990s, travel has been a major part of our relationship.
By May of 2021, both of our sons were out on their own and we were fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. We decided to quit our jobs, sell our house, get rid of most of our stuff (store the rest), and set out on a Nomadic Life.

Really well produced and a great tourism advert for Roscommon. I'm impressed with all the research you did which must've taken a while.
My mother's ancestors were evicted from their home in Strokestown during the 1840s. The estate there is now a museum
Thank you so much! 🙏 We love the research part, plus we have family in Elphin, so that helps a lot! What's the name of your old family home? I'm sure they know it, they go to Strokestown often.
@@ExploreTayo Unfortunately we haven't found the exact place yet.
We're hoping to visit the estate museum again soon to see if they have more records available. Family history and genealogy is something I'm really interested in!
Good luck in your search!
Very interesting. My family are from there. Thanks
