Turn Your F'ing Music Off

Let’s see- what has happened since the last time I wrote? Well I had my first couple classes in my ‘History of Ireland’ course- which have all been fabulous! I’m so excited to get to experience taking a college course in a different country. I’m interested to see what kinds of similarities...

Whisky and chippies for breakfst

We didn’t sleep very well last night. It was a combination of things really. Firstly, there were ‘hoons’ going up and down the road in there revved out cars (it turned out this one particular guy was the pizza delivery man, I was wondering if he could claim his car alterations for work...

Nudist |'n(y)oodist| : A person who engages in the practice of going naked wherever possible

Okay- be honest! After seeing the name to this blog you just can not wait to read it, right!?! Well, enjoy... Yesterday was a “Bank Holiday” in Ireland so we didn’t have class or internship things to do. It’s amusing because no one here actually seems to be able to tell me what a ‘Bank...

The night we slept at the Jameson Distellery.

Oh my goodness. I’ve been eaten alive by bloody mosquitoes and midgies. I am not impressed. What I am is red and blotchy and bloody bloody itchy! They were everywhere last night and they kept coming at me despite the fact I COVERED myself with insect repellant and subjected myself to sitting...

Butterflies, dolphins and a skinny dipping former husky farmer

Wow, what an amazing morning! We woke to see clear blue sky and warm rays beating in on our faces and woke feeling great. We hopped out of the car and were greeted with the most amazing views of Dingle Bay and the ocean, we just couldn’t help thinking “ahhh, this is the life!” We made...

One of the most beautiful spots you could ever visit, true story!

We didn’t move far today, though that was intentional. We’ve finally made it to Dingle, the south west peninsula that we’ve heard so much about, and now we know why. It is truly spectacular and stunningly beautiful, as it seems much of Ireland is. We had originally planned to do 4 days...

Having Great Craic!

Well yesterday was another great day in Dublin- what a shocker! In the morning we had some orientation stuff, which I thought would be a lot worse than it actually was. Some parts of it were pretty cool actually; we had a woman come in to teach us different phrases in Gaelic. I think...

Don't frown. You never know who's falling in love with your smile.

I’m attempting to take it a bit easy today- so it’s currently 1p and I’m still hanging out in my pajamas! Basically I’ve been working on my blog since I woke up for all of you to enjoy! We may go out again tonight, but for now I need some rest! The weather has been great since we got here...

Longest drive yet!!

We woke up today and felt a little weary. We could have both slept a lot longer, but we had some serious driving to do today. As we rubbed our eyes and stretched for the start of the day we took a look out our windows and were surprised to see that during the night someone had driven in and...

Truly stunning back roads of Ireland

After all the driving yesterday we felt that we should really make an effort to stop and get out and about a bit. We felt that although we had made progress in our journey it was a little wasted in the fact that we didn’t stop to take in much of the scenery, rather just saw it whizzing us by. ...
