This week has been all about exploring. My friends and I decided to take several day trips to many scenic locations not too far from city center Dublin and UCD, to Bray and Howth. Bray is a town located on the east coast of Ireland with a scenic view of the sea. With a gorgeous…
Tag: International Internship Program: Dublin
Rocks & Hard Skills
Although I love the opportunities we have to travel around various European countries, I am happy to have spent the last two weekends exploring more of what Ireland (and Dublin itself) has to offer. This past weekend my friend and I took a tour bus to Cork City and Blarney Castle! Despite knowing some of…
Asking Questions is Always a Good Idea
I am so happy to have another week in Dublin, and another week in my marketing internship, under my belt. This past weekend my friends and I took a trip to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher! It was an absolute blast and my favorite trip I’ve made here so far. After work on Friday…

Taking Pride in My Growth
This past week has definitely been filled with pride for me here in Dublin. The whole city has had an air of excitement surrounding it as this past weekend’s LGBTQ+ Pride celebration approached, and I know I did as well. After all, I have yet to ever attend a pride celebration or parade in the…
“The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings.”
Adaptability and Flexibility Man, oh man, what a week! This week has challenged and uplifted me higher than any other week I have faced so far. Not only did I celebrate my 21st birthday, but I also got to run reception at my placement by myself. My supervisor had faith and confidence in me to…
