I’ve been looking for an excuse to start sharing my past adventures on here, things that I did and saw before I started blogging. What better way to start than by sharing photos from my very first trip abroad, to Ireland in 2010? And on St. Patrick’s Day no less.

The summer after my sophomore year of college, I grabbed my brand-new passport and jumped on a plane to Europe, where I spent a month hopping around Ireland, England and Italy. In Ireland, I stayed in Dublin and took day trips to Wicklow County and Belfast. I lucked out with fantastic weather – it only rained twice in the week I was there (in the spring no less!)

What a wonderful first trip it was. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
