During my 6-week study abroad program in Spain, my professor took my colleagues and I to visit the breath-taking city of Segovia. Merely being able to see Segovia from afar on our bus, the city appeared rich with history that dated back centuries ago. It welcomed you and captivated your attention with both its unique…
First Post
My first week in Madrid, Spain has been unreal. This is my first time in Europe and traveling alone so I was definitely nervous heading over here not knowing what to expect. We stayed in a hotel on our first night which was a great way to get to know your roommates if you did…
Reflection
I can’t believe that the semester is over; these last few weeks have really flown by. If I could, I would fly back to Ireland in a heartbeat. Studying abroad has been one of the best experiences of my life and I left part of my heart in the Emerald Island. Reflecting on my time…

Now that my semester in Hong Kong is officially over, it is good to reflect on how this experience has shaped my identity and influenced my interactions with people from around the world. First of all, I still believe that it is important to recognize differences in culture and…
New Zealand Never Ceases To Amaze
Two more jam-packed weekends in New Zealand… No matter how much of this beautiful country I explore, there is always so much more to see. Last weekend, I went on a road trip with three of my friends. I have recently rekindled my baking obsession and brought along heaps of homemade muffins and chocolate chip…
Final Few Weeks
Finals season has arrived here in Ireland as I wrapped up my final lectures last week, and will have my first exam tomorrow. (Exams on Saturday are very odd) The exam period stretches over a 3-week timeframe, which varies greatly with Rollins. I have 4 final exams and for the majority of my classes are factored…
