Hi guys, the day has come, the last blog post. It’s a sad but sweet day to post about this. After a very long flight and a long layover in the airport I had sometime to reflect on all the experiences I had while in Ireland. This Plus3 experience has taught me so much about…

Community at FoodCloud
Hi guys! Today was the last full day in Ireland, I wanted to embrace the last pieces of Ireland before saying that final goodbye. Today was also our last site visit of the trip. At 1:15 we started our journey to FoodCloud which was a lot longer than I had anticipated. We took the tram…
Networking with Rob Cullen
Good evening friends. Today was the day we have all be anxiously anticipating (well at least I was). Today we gave our presentations on our companies. But before we did that we had a guest speaker at Griffith College. Our speaker today was Rob Cullen and he talked to us today about networking. We have…
Culture, AI, and BlackJack
Hi everyone! Today we had two site visits, one of which was the company my group has been researching leading up to our trip. Let’s start with our first site visit of the day which was Microsoft. Last week we went to Google and I really enjoyed their Dublin office, but after visiting Microsoft today…
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…
EPIC Day!
Hi everyone, It was another great day. Today we had one activity planned and it was EPIC!! We went back to the Docklands but instead of meeting Dr. Kelly we visited Epic The Irish Emigration Museum. I really enjoyed this museum, it was a very interactive experience so all ages could enjoy it. At the…
Baby Lambs and Stunning Views!
Hello everyone, today was another great day here in Ireland. We had a really early wake up call this morning so we could make it to our tour bus for the day. We made it to the tour bus at around 8am. The tour bus took us to 3 different places. First we went to…
DocuSign or Google??
Today was a really good day! This morning we started with a continuation of our Docklands walking tour with Dr. Kelly. It was a really interesting and engaging lecture, almost felt like a simple conversation about Dublin rather than a lecture. After Docklands, Dr. Kelly walked us to Trinity college where we had a site…
GEC and Fish and Chips
Hello everyone, today was a shorter day but a rather restful day. We started the day with a trip to the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC for short). We went to the company and just like yesterday at Google, we sat in on a little presentation/lecture on the history of GEC and what the company does…
New(goolgler)
Today was an eventful and long day, but also a really fun day. We started this morning bright and early with a Docklands walking tour given by Dr. Kelly. Dr. Kelly and his family grew up in poverty, living in Ireland, and his life was pretty standard to the families living around him at that time….
Let’s Get Personal
Hi guys! Today is day 3 and today was my favorite day of the trip so far. This morning we went back to Griffith College for a lecture by the founder of TalentHub, her name was Ellie Doyle. I really enjoyed her lecture about what she does for a living. Essentiality she is a “matchmaker”…
Days 1 and 2 in Ireland
My knowledge about Ireland before getting here was slim to none. Today marks the second day in this beautiful city; I am positively overwhelmed with how much I have learned and seen. After landing yesterday morning, I’ll be honest, I was exhausted and started to feel the effects of jet lag. However, after leaving the…
