NOW, I have a whole new outlook of business, ten plus new friends and a new potential favorite spot in the world(for now). Although…

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.

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.

First Thoughts on Ireland
Despite the long day of travel, the sight of the fishing village and our first hike/walk revitalized me. Sitting in two cramped plane seats and breathing in stale, artificial air had left me feeling drained, but the first breathe of Ireland’s fresh air and taking in the stunning scenery of clear waters and flowery mountains…
