First Few Days in Dublin

Yes, I’ve fallen into the stereotype of ‘people who decide to blog when going to another country.’ I never wrote one when I was living in Australia, so I thought I ‘have’ to do one now.

I’ve always been one of those people that will put 110% effort into achieving what they want, so that leaves me here: I’m an American going for a Master’s degree at an Irish university. 

So why do it?

Ever since I was young and I had my first taste of going abroad with a school program, all I could think about was Europe and how I’d eventually end up there.

Fast-forward a few years and here I am.

The weeks leading up to leaving America were turbulent to say the very least and there were multiple times that I thought I would have to wait until next year. This summer was one for the record books. If something could break, it did. Two computers, two cars, one camera, and one refrigerator- all of which were not simply fixed. 

I should have realized that these events were foreshadow to some of the hardships and struggles- and of course new adventures!- that I have had during my first couple of days here.

My blog is to inform the curious mind that may want to take the leap and decide to change their lives forever.

Traveling is in my blood and I’m so happy to share some of the adventures- and hardships- I have with you.
