We said "goodnight" at 12am and set alarms for 4am. She texted from the couch at 1:30 "I can't sleep, lets just go for it." But I had somehow fallen into a delirious panic nap and we did get up... Continue Reading →

It’s all Happening! (I might be terrified.)

Slainte! Days 1-3 of Ireland Travel


Day two...or is it three? Ireland is green, friendly, loud, drunk! I survived my flights here with the help of the hilarious couple next to me, Emma and Artur. They looked about 14 years old, maybe 20, and had met... Continue Reading →

You are brave. You can fly. You are going to Ireland.
