International Travel   

OLLI at ASU, in collaboration with ASU Clinical Professor Kathleen Dixon presents 'Food & Landscapes of Ireland'. From Belfast's Titanic Quarter to the windswept cliffs of the Atlantic coast, this culinary and scenic journey through Ireland connects you to the land, the people, and the flavors that define the Emerald Isle. Curated exclusively for OLLI Arizona State, you'll go beyond the postcard views: visiting working farms, savoring artisan tastings, and wandering landscapes that have inspired poets for centuries. Marvel at the Giant's Causeway's basalt columns, walk Derry's historic walls, and stand in awe at Slieve League's towering sea cliffs. Explore the Aran Islands' Gaelic traditions, traverse the lunar-like Burren, and gaze from the Cliffs of Moher before ending in Dublin—discovering how history and culture come together in every bite.
