I’m here! This is the end of day two in Ireland for me and so far it’s been a lot. The other Pitt students and I have been running around in the short time we’ve been here, socializing with other colleges on the same or on other programs, getting our bus cards, and going where…

Arrival in Dublin
Finally! I have finally arrived in Dublin after the seemingly harrowing six hour plane ride from Philadelphia. I have never traveled alone internationally before, so this was definitely a nerve-wracking experience.

Finally Here!
Well, I’ve been in Dublin for about three days, toured many new sites, taxied around the city centre, ate several different cuisines, moved into my new housing, had my first grocery store mishap, took a public Irish bus, and whew!

I just landed in Ireland a few hours ago, and it is only eight days before the start of my internship, and I am getting very excited for it. I spent my first day here exploring the campus and relaxing after my long flight. I plan on spending part of this week exploring the rest…
First Day In Dublin:
I just got off my flight from Newark Airport, and arrived in Dublin today. Getting to take a group tour of University College Dublin (UCD) campus with other EUSA students was definitely a highlight. Campus is beautiful and has lots of green space. I hope to go on some runs in the area soon! Even…
