As I am writing this blog post, it has been about a week and a half since I finished up my internship at D-Light Studios and left Ireland. Over time I have realized that I am someone that does best with a consistent routine and habits, so the switch to my usual life at home…

The End of the Road
As I write this post, I am starting my eight and final week in Dublin. As weird as it may sound, I feel like I just arrived here and like I have been here forever at the same time. It’s hard to believe that the end is just around the corner, and I will be…
Adapting to a Different Cultural Context
It is the beginning of my seventh week in Dublin, and I can’t believe that this journey will be coming to an end so soon. As I wrap up my internship and my chapter in Ireland winds down, I am reflecting more and more on the experiences I’ve had here as well as the lessons…
