I started Saol Sona in early 2025 as a way to help people reconnect with nature, with others, and with themselves.

After a few years of travelling, I came home to find that many of my close friends had emigrated. Like so many others in Ireland, I was craving connection. I began sharing my solo hikes and adventures online, and quickly realised I wasn’t the only one feeling that way.

Being away gave me a new found appreciation for Ireland also, and I wanted to encourage more people to see how amazing our little island really is and how much there really is to do here.

Saol Sona was born to bring people together- through hikes, wellness mornings, sauna sessions, adventure weekends, surf camps, and so much more. Most people come alone, but they leave with a whole new group of friends.

I’m so grateful for the community that’s grown from it and I can’t wait for more of you to join us on this journey.
