What if my phone stops working my second day abroad? What if I spend a really long time messaging Vodafone online to get my Irish sim card to work? What if I am not ready to leave? All of these questions were things I never thought to ask myself before traveling. All of which were…

For my weekly update, I got to visit some of my family that lives in Manchester. It was something I was hesitant to do at first because I had to get up at 5:00 am on a Saturday. However, I am so beyond glad that I went. It was amazing to be able to visit…

This weekend my parents came to visit me. One of the biggest highlights was finally visiting the Cliffs of Moher. It is such an amazing view and worth the 3 hour drive from Dublin. I also got to visit Galway as well which was really nice.  One of the main communication differences I have noticed…

On our Friday trip, we went to the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough, and Kilkenny.  The first day of my internship will start this week following the…

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…
