Join us on our journey around Ireland and beyond
Who We Are
Hello!Cathy is an Irish travel and hiking writer and an environmental lawyer behind Cathy & Juno, a platform dedicated to international hiking adventures, slow travel, and wild landscapes.

Juno, the original co-pilot, is a miniature dachshund with sea legs as strong as her bark, a love for coastal walks, and a big personality that shapes many adventures closer to home.
Hiking, wild places, and slow travel - in Ireland and beyond.
Cathy & Juno is a travel and hiking blog rooted in a love for wild places, long walks, and nature-led adventures. What began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to document dog-friendly travel, sea swimming, and outdoor life in Ireland has evolved into a broader exploration of international hiking trips, multi-day treks, and remote landscapes around the world.
Today, this space is about hiking adventures and slow, intentional travel, from Ireland’s coastal trails to iconic destinations like Patagonia, the Andes, and beyond. You’ll find detailed trail stories, practical hiking tips, honest reflections on travel logistics, and moments of quiet awe that come with early starts, changing weather, and time spent far from the noise of everyday life.
While Juno is still very much part of the story, especially on Irish adventures, the blog has grown to reflect a deeper passion for long-distance hiking, mountain landscapes, and travel experiences that challenge both body and perspective. Whether it’s a multi-day trek, a sunrise summit, or a slower chapter spent recovering in wine country, Cathy & Juno is about finding meaning in movement and connection to place.
