On Sunday, we explored Carrigart in the early morning, did project work in the afternoon, and ended our day in Downings for the annual festival. It was an ease into the busy rest of the week. On Monday, we continued to work on our project, and then met with Moving Mevagh Forward and Noel McBride….
The Delightful Beauty of Donegal
On Friday, we spent most of our time in nature. We visited the Doon Well and Mass Rock, both symbols of Catholic rebellion against the Protestant infiltration of the British. After that, we traversed the Poisoned Glen and the Glenveagh Castle & National Park where I climbed a massive hill and tried not to roll…
Final Day: My Reflection
As the Haller Global Fellowship comes to an end, I reflect on the 4 weeks I’ve had during the program. Personally, I would say that was the fastest four weeks of my life, yet also the most knowledgeable. This program enabled me to a whole new level of experience, especially before my freshman year. I…
Who Really Benefits From Donegal’s Tourism?
This week gave me a closer look at how tourism actually works in Donegal.

My program officially wrapped up on July 29, and I am writing this final post from the other side of it, with the benefit of a week or so of distance. The last stretch of the internship was the busiest of the entire summer. In the final weeks I was finishing deliverables, documenting everything I…
Waterbomb Festival & Final Reflections
During my last weekend in Seoul, I went to Waterbomb Festival! I have seen videos of the festival in the past, and I always thought that it would be fun to go, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to! When I saw that it was taking place when I was still…
Trying Delicious Food in Jeonju
Our internship program took us on another weekend trip, which was Jeonju! I originally was not planning on going, but I am so glad I did. On the first full day, we got to try on hanboks, which is a type of traditional clothing. I was given a hanbok that was green and red, and…
