So my family came to Ireland to pick me up and while they were at it, we decided to tour the country. Poor Steve Dad ended up driving 1200 miles on some crazy roads/footpaths…we owe him, a lot. He adjusted well to the whole driving on the left side of the road, having to stop/reverse to … Continue reading

A Video! Exploring Europe. Month Four.
This video of my backpacking trip around Europe was a labor of love. 1. The fact that I didn’t think about not being able to download my pictures and videos during my month abroad was the first little hiccup. I only had a 2 GB and an 8 GB memory card for both my pictures … Continue reading

A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month Three.
Hello friends. It has been a while, but let me give you a quick recap in terms of March’s video. Month three was filled with two shared celebrations for 4 birthdays!

10 Precious Gems in Galway
So we made it to the wonderful city of Galway during the first weekend in March (Friday 1-Sunday 3). It is the first place I have been to (other than Cork) where I have felt “at home”. Not in the sense that it’s a small town like home, but as a city of 75,000 people, … Continue reading

I cannot believe that February has ended and it’s already March 4th. Time truly flies when you … Continue reading
Ring of Kerry!
We took a trip to the Ring of Kerry this weekend! This trip was one organized by our college. It commenced at 2:00 pm on Friday and we returned home around 5:30 pm on Sunday. And every hour in between was literally packed with the most amazing activities/sites/people we’ll ever be lucky enough to encounter. … Continue reading
The Dublife.
We kicked off February with a wonderful weekend in Dublin (Jan. 31-Feb. 3)! I skipped class (for the first time since being here) on Thursday so we could leave on the 2:00 bus instead of the 4:00. It was €20 roundtrip, which wasn’t a bad deal at all! It’s about a 3.5-4 hour trip, so … Continue reading
A Video! Studying Abroad in Cork, Ireland. Month One.
So I’m doing a monthly video and yesterday I put together “Month One”! I decided to do this mainly because I have the memory of a goldfish. Secondly, my parents bought me a new camera (Canon PowerShot SX260 HS) for Christmas and it has a setting called Movie Digest. As long as you’re on this … Continue reading
We should start living in castles again.
When I began writing this I was finally in a place where I actually had internet. My trusty cafe. Just sitting there with my hot chocolate. But then at like 4:40 they started mopping around me, turned off the music, insisted that I was fine where I was, but I was pretty sure they wanted … Continue reading
