Today at three in the morning I will be making the drive down to Houston to catch my 9:30am flight out to Hong Kong. I can’t believe how fast it has come! I don’t even know how I feel either. It seems like I haven’t had the proper amount of time to process just exactly…
Back in the States
It has only been two weeks since I returned from my time in Spain but it feels like forever ago- partly due to the fact that I have been going non-stop since I stepped foot in Texas. In my short time back I have managed to tackle the holidays, take a trip to Florida, attend…
A World of Wonder
Throughout my life, I have held a thirst for adventure and a love of culture. I think it most likely started as a result of living in the south of France for part of my childhood. My parents brought me up in a way that always encouraged venturing outside of my comfort zone, trying new…
Home, but not for long
Leaving Ireland to come back to the States was very hard. I was excited to see my family, but I really miss all the people and places I left behind. A medical emergency at home made this Christmas break very hard, but at least everything turned out alright in the end. It’s been great having…

Home Sweet Home
Happy New Year! As of today, I have officially been home for 2 weeks. Quite honestly, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind seeing family and friends, celebrating the holidays, running around preparing for next semester, etcetera. I feel like I just got home yesterday and now I’m less than a week away from moving…
Back to my homeland!
Looking back on my journey, it still seems surreal that I spent three entire months in Ireland. Although there are many differences between Ireland and the United States, Ireland was a very easy place to adapt to. I went on many adventures and met some pretty amazing people along the way. There were many times…
Home!
After 107 in Europe, you don’t realize how much you have learned till you get home. After sharing stories with friends and family, you realize you experienced once in a life time memories with certain people. Before this semester, I have only been out of the country for cruises. Now I know how much there…
