After 4 amazing months in this beautiful country, I’m down to my last week abroad. Sadly, I will not be spending my last week here in Ireland, but in Madrid and Paris. Either way it’ll be the last 7 days that I spend on this side of the world for a while but I can…

What a Journey
So much has happened since I last posted. Its been such a wonderful past couple of weeks with a lot of eventful things happening. I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite bands, 5 Seconds of Summer, in concert in Dublin for free with the absolute best seats in the world thanks to…
Lost in Translation
As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to my friend Clare’s grandmas house this weekend to celebrate her birthday with all of her family. We took a bus early Friday morning from Dublin all the way to Letter-Kenny – a steady 5 hour drive. We arrived around noon and her aunt picked us…
A Chill Week
In the time between my last post and now there hasn’t been a whole lot that’s gone on. My friends and I basically have just been laying low for the past couple of weeks, as we haven’t had the chance to travel. We were looking forward to a trip that was being arranged by the…
A Proper Lovely Week
Here in Maynooth they give you two weeks of spring break vacation (technically a study week and then eater break). So of course my roommate and I planned to visit London. It has been my dream to visit London since I was a little girl. We left Dublin on a Friday afternoon and got to…
My Not So Spring Break
These past 2 weeks have been full of excitement. Two of my best friends from Rollins, Rosie and Sam, came to visit me for their Spring Break vacation, since mine doesn’t start until the end of next week. I was only expecting Sam to come visit, as that’s what we had planned, but when I…
Maigh Nuad
A month has gone by since my arrival at Maynooth and I can’t express how much I’m enjoying being here. I’ve been able to do some fun things around Dublin the past couple of weekends, which is great not just because I’m getting the chance to see all these great things but it also helps…
A Whole New World
The first two weeks I’ve spent here at Maynooth have been great craic! (Check out the local slang I’ve picked up). The day I arrived was really hectic; I arrived about an hour earlier to the school and nothing was opened, I had to walk for 15 minutes in the dark trying to find the…
The Start of Something New
Today I embark on a journey of a lifetime. I’m leaving my beautiful island of Puerto Rico and I’m heading towards the wonderful country of Ireland. I’m awaiting a whole new set of experiences and am ready to be immersed in a different culture from my own. I’m excited to leave but I’m really going…
