The Dublin Food Scene & Other Stories from Ireland
These last couple of blog posts are long overdue. I flew back to the US on December 15th but I stayed really busy in my last couple of weeks abroad, with both school and trying to squeeze in some last traveling. In the first week of December, I took a trip to Ireland with two ...
The Grass Really Is Greener on the Other Side
One of the main perks of choosing the University of Bristol is the city’s immediate access to multiple transport and travel options.

Reflecting On Cork
