Life Update: Lots of Peace(and Craic)

Hey y’all!! It’s been a little over a week now since I’ve been back in the United States, and I still wake up very early expecting the bright shining sun and the sound of the 39A preparing me to get ready to go to work or see a friend in Merville’s opposing residence house. But,…

An Irish Goodbye back to the USA!

Well, the 8 weeks have passed officially. I thought it was going to last forever, yet here we are, writing this final week conclusion blog post back in the United States.

Words. Sometimes, they’re easy to just flow off the tongue and talk for hours. Other times, you kind of sit with yourself in silence and let everything fall into place in your own mind. As spiritual or quirky or whatever else you might call this, this is the reality for me as I sit at…

The Winding World in Dublin

Welcome back to our scheduled programming, and boy oh boy has this last week been extremely busy! As I continue to become closer with my friend group here, I also am continuing to open my horizons to new experiences, people, and places.

Dublin Living: New Experiences, with a Twist(literally)

Two weeks have gone by so far since moving into Dublin, and what an experience it has been so far. After the first week of sightseeing, my job finally started, and I felt I was finally getting into the swing of things in regards to public transportation, cooking, and branching out more into what the…

Working for Everyone in Ireland

The first week in Dublin has officially come to a close, and what a week it has been so far! I have met some incredible people within my program, been to multiple local towns and parks around Dublin, and most importantly, explored the city center of Dublin where I will be having my internship starting…
