It is crazy how fast eight weeks goes by. Three months ago I was sitting in my apartment in Pittsburgh getting ready and now I am back in Pittsburgh after an amazing time. I am beyond lucky that I got to experience this trip and all it had to offer. As some of the others…

The Unexpected Souvenir
I can’t believe our eight weeks are over. It seemed like forever ago that I was waiting in the customs line in a country where I knew no one. Our last week there flew by. After my bike ride in Killarney I knew I wanted to fit in as much as possible for my last…
One Last Adventure…
Time has flown by and it’s hard to believe we only have a week left. Over the weekend I explored around Dublin and went on some mini adventures. On Saturday, Valerie and I rented bikes from Phoenix Park and 20 minutes into our trip, the chain on my bike snaped and completely broke off. We…
Cliff Walks and History
It is crazy to think we only have just over 2 weeks left. I feel like I’ve been here forever but also nowhere near long enough. This past weekend I was able to mark some things off my to do list. On Saturday we took the bus out to Bray to go to the beach…

Five miles of sheep, puffins, and cliffs
This past weekend I was able to cross to big things off of my bucket list. A group of us visited the Cliffs of Moher where we also saw puffins. I’ve been fascinated by puffins ever since I was little and I’ve always wanted to see one in real life. We took a train from…
Using My Time to its Full Potential
When I decided I wanted to do an internship abroad I knew that there would be so much to see and do and that I would have to fit it around my internship. Before I came I made a long list of things that I wanted to see and do, both inside and outside of…
90,484 Steps Later
Quick Update: It seems crazy that a week ago I was on my flight heading to Dublin. I’ve been able to explore a lot of Dublin and UCD’s campus but there is still so much to see and do. We started off on Tuesday exploring the city picking up items like sim cards and other…
