History in a Day in Carrigart
On the 30th, we arrived in Carrigart for the first time. It was very exciting to finally see the town we’ve been researching for so long, and it was safe to say that it was exactly how I’d envisioned it. Carrigart is a beautiful little town, and absolutely tiny by American standards. There’s only around…
First Impression of Carrigart
Today we finally arrived at our project destination, Carrigart. We were greeted by Brandon, the CEO of AllPeopleBeHappy, and he gave us a little tour around and showed us their park. Then we ate lunch at a local restaurant, and right after we met with the owner of the gift shop they had. She was…
Giant’s Causeway and Derry’s History
Today was one of those days where every stop felt different from the last. We started at Magheracross before going to Giant’s Causeway, and the views were incredible. Pictures don’t really capture how impressive it is in person. I thought it was interesting that the same place can be explained through science with volcanic activity…
Learning About Pittsburgh… and Meeting a Guy Who Met Obama Twice

Inside, we met Rosemary Boyce, the hotel’s general manager. She was gracious enough to give us a few minutes of her…

During the first forty minutes we stopped at the Grianan of Alieach, it is this ancient hilltop stonefort said to be made for royal Irish kings, located…
Arrival in Art Rocks (Carrigart)!
We’ve finally arrived in County Donegal, and this time our stop is where we’re doing our consulting project. If you don’t remember, our team is the Digital Disruption and Innovation team, and I’m responsible for leveraging AI use in businesses in Carrigart! To start with, the town is one of the most beautiful and inclusive…
The Side of Tourism That Many Miss
On Wednesday, we started the day with the Giant’s Causeway. It’s a foundation of pillar shaped rocks that people can traverse for quite a bit on. The history is surrounded with folklore, and the most common story is where a giant in Northern Ireland named Finn McCool was arguing with a giant across the Irish…
