~March 3oth – April 2nd~ The event we have all been waiting for…BARCELONA!! Since I am a Spanish minor, the one place that I wanted to go during my study abroad experience was Spain. I contemplated studying abroad there, but due to class selection, I opted for Ireland. Regardless, making a trip there was a … Continue reading »

~March 24th/25th/26th, 2017~ Alright, one day is a bit of an exaggeration, but it was still the quickest of quick trips. We arrived late Friday night, and our flight home was Sunday morning. So, we really only had Saturday to explore København (aka Copenhagen in Danish). The reason Lily and I wanted to go to Copenhagen, was … Continue reading »

~March 17th, 2017~ It has always been on my bucket list to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in Ireland, and this year I checked it off! We had a great day! After decking ourselves out in green, we began the morning with Bailey’s and coffee to be festive. Lily’s family was in town, so they let me … Continue reading »

~March 4th-10th, 2017~ BEST WEEK EVER! Over Butler spring break, Kyle came to Cork! Although I still had class, it felt like a mini vacation. I made sure to hit all the sights and attractions that Cork has to offer. We spent the week eating at the best restaurants and exploring the city. We visited … Continue reading »

~February 24th/25th/26th, 2017~ This weekend we fell in love with Brussels, Belgium! We booked the trip on a whim due to an inexpensive flight and a fun destination. The main theme of this trip was FOOD. What is not to love about a country that is known for its waffles, french fries, chocolate, mussels, and beer … Continue reading »

~February 23rd, 2017~ Huh? What do you mean there is a “study” part of study abroad? Interesting… Just kidding! I promise I am still going to school in between all of the fun adventuring. So I figured I would give you a quick update on how classes have been at UCC! Everything is going well, … Continue reading »

~February 17th/18th/19th, 2017~ WOO! We finally were able to get our immigration cards to be able to travel outside of Ireland. Our first international stop was none other than the U.K.! Just a one hour, inexpensive flight away, London made for the perfect weekend getaway, especially since there is no language barrier. We took a 1:00am … Continue reading »

~February 10th/11th/12th, 2017~ I’m not going to lie to you, when I realized that I was going to be abroad for my 21st birthday, I was a little sad. In Ireland the drinking age is 18, so turning 21 in Ireland literally means nothing in Europe. However, by some sort of sheer luck, Lily, my roommate turned … Continue reading »

~February 3rd/4th/5th, 2017~ With an open weekend coming up, a few friends and I planned a weekend trip to Ireland’s capital, Dublin! Dublin is only a three hour bus ride from Cork, so we boarded a bus Friday morning and arrived to Dublin in the afternoon. Of course our first stop on our trip was the … Continue reading »

~January 29th, 2017~ Although I had already visited the small costal town of Cobh with my Dad, Lily and I decided to return. We went to the Titanic Experience museum, Titanic Memorial Garden, and saw the docks. It was a perfect day trip. Although it rained all day, we still had a nice time. We returned … Continue reading »
