This past weekend was the last out-of-the-country trip for Meg and I before we go home. We’re kind of sad about that! We realized this when walking out of the Dublin airport, and we got kind of sentimental. We love our little Dublin Airport, and of course our little Dublin home, and it’ll be hard …

Bittersweet
I knew it would have to come to an end eventually, but I didn’t think it would sneak up on me this quickly! My last trip out of the country is this weekend, and I’m sad. But it’ll be a great one: London, England. I actually leave as soon as I’m done writing this post! It’s …
Northern Ireland: The Last Stop
The last place I visited on my mid-term break was Northern Ireland. Leaving Austria on Wednesday and flying out of Munich Airport in Germany on Thursday, it was a crazy week already. Then right on the tail end of leaving my parents in Germany (not to be seen for another seven weeks) the IES program …
Next Stop: Austria
The second place my family and I traveled while on my midterm break was Salzburg, Austria. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the city, it was the city where one of the most famous movies ever was filmed – The Sound of Music! I have vivid memories from when I was younger of …

The time has slithered past me quickly and in the most wonderful way, but if I’m being completely honest, I’m ready for a break. Luckily for me, in my time of need (as in any), …
Another Irish Weekend
This past weekend was one of the best weekends of the semester so far, and it happened right here in Ireland! On Friday and Saturday, Meg and I traveled to Cork in southern Ireland. It was beautiful. On Friday morning, we had taken an early train and arrived into Cork station around 10 a.m. This gave …
A Word on Lent
Lent There’s this app on the iPhone called 1 Second Everyday that I’m using to commemorate my study abroad trip in Ireland. It’s a really cool concept of making a video of your entire trip by filming one second every day that captures the essence of the day, then mashing all those seconds together to …
Great Scot! (Scotland)
Wow, readers. What a crazy weekend. Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday?? I was sad I couldn’t watch it because of the time difference, but I bet the halftime show was great! So this past weekend was the first weekend that I left Ireland to go to a different country – Edinburgh, Scotland, to …
To Scotland I Go!
Alright, Readers, I’m going to let you in on a secret that I just figured out this past week: planning travel is hard work! This weekend I have the privilege of traveling to Scotland (!!!!) which is so so exciting. However, saying that is one thing, but planning it and carrying through is completely another. …
