“So what brought you to Dublin?” I get asked this question a lot. Because of this, I’ve got a few different responses depending on who I’m talking to.

Today I'm grateful for an amazing night of dinner, drinks, and dancing into all hours of the night. Tonight was Seán's university ball so we got all dressed up and headed out to a beautiful hotel in Dún Laoghaire, where I was served a delicious quinoa dinner and plenty of wine.

It was such a warm… Continue reading With Love, From Dublin

Each time I peer out through my bedroom window I'm convinced I'll see UBC campus and the familiar rugby field and hockey arena. Even though I know they're there I'm always surprised to see the Georgian buildings and famous Dublin doors.… Continue reading Am I Actually In Dublin? Is This Real?
