As I reflect back on our trip to Ireland, I can’t help but be in awe of everything we did and accomplished. There were many challenges, but our perseverance and optimism led to a fantastic trip overall. We truly blossomed where we were planted! Seeing so many aspects of Ireland just makes me want to…

Floating on a FoodCloud
Before our visit to FoodCloud, many people we talked to were excited for us to see them in action! Everyone only spoke good things about them as we traveled around Dublin. Many previous companies we visited said that they had partnered with FoodCloud to participate in volunteer work with them and they were amazing. This…
The Art of Networking
Rob Cullen came into to talk to us about the what, when, where, and how’s of networking at Griffith College. My expectations were that I thought it was going to be pretty repetitive because we learn this social knowledge early on (or at least I did). Once it began, I was quickly mistaken and found…
The Google Doc(k)s
We visited Google which blew me away. As we walked towards the building I couldn’t tell which building or door to walk into. Their company was operating in three main buildings and they added later that there were many more and plan to continue to expand. I knew prior to that Google was a big…
Herding Around Kilkenny
Our second day trip was a blast as we ventured to the true countryside of Ireland. If you thought the Cliffs of Moher were country just wait until you visit Kilkenny and the farms the rest of Ireland has in store. I didn’t think I would’ve enjoyed this day trip as much as I did…
Galway Girl
Although I’m no Saoirse Ruane, I truly felt I was part of Ed Sheeran’s music video as we traveled to Galway and explored the city. Before finding ourselves in the middle of the city, we first stopped at the Cliffs of Moher which were absolutely gorgeous. It was quite interesting to see the diversity of…
Like a True Tourist…
Like a true tourist of Ireland, we traveled to the Guinness Storehouse to see the process and the history of the Guinness Legacy. It was quite interesting because I knew absolutely nothing about anything! I came in to the tour blind and came out feeling like I was a historian who knew everything about the…
Creativity Flows at GEC
When I think of an entrepreneur, I think of the characteristic of creativity. Creativity is the use of one’s imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness. At the Guinness Enterprise Center, that’s exactly what I could see peering into each office space as a new company began their start. Creativity can be what brings…
Day 3: Thinkhouse and the Evolution of Ireland
Today was so much fun! We traveled to the finance district and saw the docks with Dr. Kelly and he talked about the evolution of Ireland throughout history. Ireland is an old place but a new country and there’s a lot to learn about its history. The “two Irelands” that he spoke about were incredibly…
Second Day Travels Via the Luas
Our second day was the first site visit we had since we arrived to Ireland. It was very interesting to see where some of the big tech companies were located. Getting there may have been a hassle, however, it was a beautiful day and the walking was worth it! We visited Microsoft, one of the…
The First Full Day
Having a first full day in Ireland was quite surreal. Waking up to the early morning sunshine was surprising, but it also meant we got to explore where we will be for the next two weeks so I couldn’t wait. My initial impression didn’t hit me until we woke up the first full day. For…
