It’s been four weeks since I arrived in South Korea, and I have to say—it’s been a pretty amazing ride so far. I’ve gotten to explore parts of Gangnam, take in the peaceful atmosphere of Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple, get lost (in the best way) at the massive COEX Starfield Mall, and look out over the…

Pitt-Johnstown to Dublin
Today is the day I leave for Dublin, and I should finish packing instead of writing this. My name is Ronan Cullen. I am from Somerset, Pennsylvania. I am 20 years old and an American and Irish dual citizen. This will be my seventh or eighth time going to Ireland, but I have never stayed…
Bye For Now Firenze!
