Ireland has two native seal species. This week, I got the chance to visit a seal I rehabilitation center, which gives you some idea of how much these animals are valued here in Ireland!
To understand what it's like in Ireland, I interviewed a local resident. His name is Ross Clifford. Ross was born and raised in Galway, and he has since moved to Athlone to be near work.
Nine friends took a road trip exploring the southern part of Ireland. In one weekend, we were able to cover 1,029 kilometers or 639 miles, making scenic stops from coast to coast. We learned a lot!
Connemara is the part of Galway that is mostly rural or mostly farmland. It's known for having the largest number of people who speak the Irish language. Children born here learn Irish before English.
Realizing this personal goal of working abroad has been a dream come true. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences with students and hopefully inspire them to dream big, too!
There aren't many people who can organize a program and make themselves available 24/7 such as Madame Carine. And she's doing it all with a small team. Take a moment to look into her life.
