With the recent emergence of Artificial Intelligence, our society and the way that business is done is destined to change dramatically. This could be an event as significant in human history as the emergence of the internet. During that time, companies who failed to adapt to the changing climate ultimately went bankrupt while companies that…

What can humans do, that AI can’t?
It’s become very obvious that Artificial Intelligence has come a long way and can do many things, and this has created a huge controversy in the marketing world. Every professional you ask about AI will always pause and either make a face or sigh, and it’s very present in both small agencies like Thinkhouse, all…
The Future of Business is Here
The future of business is artificial intelligence (AI), every company we have visited uses AI and are very excited for the endless opportunities that come with it. Today we visited Microsoft and Thinkhouse and both spoke about their current feelings and future plans using AI. The day began with a visit to Microsoft, where I…
AI and Culture
Today, we had the amazing opportunity of visiting Microsoft headquarters and Thinkhouse. Microsoft is one of the most well-known technology companies in the world with companies all over the globe. On the other hand, Thinkhouse is a much smaller company working as a local small marketing agency in Dublin, Ireland. When visiting both of the…
Irish Generated Dreams
Happy Tuesday! And a happy birthday to my little brother who turns 18 today. I miss him, so he gets a special shout-out! I sent him a picture of the companies we visited today, and he really appreciated it. Microsoft had a section where they had Minecraft blocks to play with at their office! Understandably,…
Cliffs of Tourism
For the past week, we’ve been classified as the loud Americans that don’t know which way the cars are going in the street, group of college kids who always ask for directions, and in some cases lost backpackers roaming around aimlessly in the streets of Dublin, Kilkenny and Galway. We’ve received mixed feedback… some nice…
EPIC with a Capital E
The EPIC Museum was epic: Despite being drained from a long week, the simple act of stamping my blank passport as I moved from room to room was surprisingly satisfying. The Irish Emigration Museum is an interactive space, with vibrant lights, artistic structures and entertaining visuals that keep visitors engaged. I found the comedy room…
Galway Gab
I love being a tourist. Over the past few days we have traveled around Ireland seeing amazing views and historical objects! On Saturday we had our first day to Kilkenny and Wicklow, and today we had a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway and we even saw Barack Obama Plaza! These two…
Tourist impact on Ireland:
Throughout this trip I have gotten the chance to be immersed in Irish culture and learn a lot in such a short period of time. Ireland is a country with many great qualities and things to offer. The country features breathtaking rural landscapes, vibrant cities, and a rich history. From my time in Dublin to…
Embracing the Rural Life
Despite being just an hour and a half away from Dublin, the bus ride felt like a journey to a different world! When I woke up and looked out the window I saw open fields, lush green grass, and stunning mountain views, which was different from the usual industrial environment that people associate with Dublin….
Tourism: The Double Edged Sword
The long awaited day had come, our day trip to the Cliffs of Moher, the iconic tourist symbol of Ireland, excluding Guiness and leprechauns. It was such an amazing sight, reminding me of the Hopewell Cape in Canada, with its sheer right angle cliffs, but the Cliffs of Moher were on another level, at least…
Tourism in Ireland!
Today we visited the Cliffs of Moher and Galway! I had such a fun time on this trip. The Cliffs of Moher were beautifully breathtaking, and Galway was such a cute town filled with shops and restaurants. I greatly enjoyed the visits to these places, as well as the fancy, fun bus that we were…
Galway Girl
Today was probably my favorite day of the whole trip so far! We were up early today and got on a true VIP bus with led lights and practically a party bus with four tables in a row and a table in the middle which made for a good napping area for the ride up….
Galway Girl!
Good evening everyone (for me at least), today was another early start but was well worth it. We ventured outside of Dublin again today and took a very long bus ride from the east side of the country to the west. We first visited the Cliffs of Moher, which is a beautiful tourist attraction that…
West Coast Best Coast?
Today we visited the iconic Cliffs of Moher, and they did not disappoint. We also got to visit the town of Galway, where we had lunch and walked around the shops. As I have talked about in previous posts, I saw even more today how huge the tourism culture is and how it impacts Irish…
Ireland from the Other Side of the Ocean
Another Monday in Ireland. Another start of the week to see the rest of the country. Throughout our trip, we have been hearing that Ireland is a tiny island, and I didn’t really believe it until today. We crossed the country in three hours! From the east coast where Dublin is to the west coast…
Party Bus
Today we were surprised when waiting for our bus and seeing what was basically a party bus pull up! Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the inside, but it was laid out with tables of four and we were able to get comfortable for our trip to the other side of the country….
More Cliffs of Moher!
The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely breathtaking, and the musicians there only added to the ambiance. I noticed the tourists all around me, and I still have mixed feelings about the gathering of us all over the land we didn’t grow up on. From one lens, I feel so grateful to be able to see…
5/15/2023
Today we visited the Cliffs of Moher and the town of Galway. Moher had beautiful sights and authentic Irish shopping locations. I finally indulged in a claudaugh ring to continue my family tradition. There were hundreds of tourists at this location. Not only were there many tourist buses but also the hum of many different…
Contrasting perspective: Rural Ireland vs Dublin
Ireland is a land of diverse and captivating landscapes and rich cultural heritages, and it is much different than America in terms of its georgraphy. With Dublin being a massive commerce center with bustling streets and a more faced paced culture (similar to American cities), it creates a cultural difference between Dublin and most of…
