Nomi's Journey to Ireland

Current Location

County Kerry, Ireland

Hello! My name is Nomi Smith and I'm studying creative writing and researching Irish folklore and language in Cork, Ireland. I hope you'll join me in uncovering the pagan roots and history here!

Logbooks

Coming to the end of semester 1, this has been a very study-heavy week, which I worry leaves very little room for grand adventure. However, I find that this week is also more true to everyday life. 

Journals

"Go n-éirí do bhóthar leat" is sometimes translated as 'May the road rise to meet you,' or 'May your journey be successful.' Regardless, our parting is bittersweet.

Field Notes

In this short interview, Mr. O'Conor reflects on Irish culture and history, his own daily life and values, and shares a message to American high school students!

Albums
