This past week was week seven of eight in my study abroad experience. I cannot believe I only have one more week in this beautiful and amazing country. I really feel that I have become one with the culture here in Ireland. Aside from going to work this week, my family arrived on Thursday. I…

Leadership and London
During the work week I spent much more time venturing out into the city, finding third spaces I could work from. This was much nicer than sitting at home all day, especially when I did not have as many meetings I had to call into. I found a couple cute coffee shops. They helped me…
The homestretch of my Dublin journey
And just like that there are only two weeks left of my, at first, seemingly long trip. When I first applied to this program I genuinely did not know if I was even capable of living in a completely foreign place for longer than a week. Then, when I got accepted into the program I…
Another Weekend Jam Packed
This weekend was definitely one of my favorites since being in Ireland. Even though the work week felt like it dragged on forever, it was all worth it once the weekend finally came around. I got to travel to one of the most beautiful places I have seen so far, and then end the weekend…

After weeks of constant exploring, traveling, and trying to make the most of every moment in Dublin, I realized that one of the most important parts of being in a new environment is giving myself permission to breathe. I have genuinely been loving my time…
Leadership Meets Culture
This past week has been one of my busiest work weeks yet. It was all in good company because this past weekend was one of the best weekends I have had while being here in Ireland. My two roommates and I, who also go to Pitt, went to Killarney for one night. It was my…
