In less than two months I will be leaving Ireland for the better part of six months. From June to August I will be working in America, on a J1 visa. It's a huge step for me. I absolutely love Ireland, I can be quite shy. YET, I want to explore the world, meet new people, experience new cultures. I can freely admit I am obsessed with Instagram, documenting my life through photo. Capturing a photo before it's gone. I'm hoping I'll have tanned somewhat during those three months, but the likelihood is that I'll have erupted in freckles. After that, I'll be heading to Belgium for the first semester of college on my Erasmus. This means I'll be studying in a university in Ghent, Belgium. I've started to learn Dutch, but I'm not practicing it as frequently as I should, so whether or not it'll have any benefit to me is yet to be seen. It will be great to explore mainland Europe, The Netherlands is close by, Germany and France so who knows where I'll end up.
