First of all a little disclaimer - I am not writing this in an attempt to promote travel during these times, just simply as a resource for anyone that does need to fly elsewhere and is curious to know what the situation is like. From my POV, I was travelling to Kigali, Rwanda from Dublin [...]
A letter to my Freshers self
With CAO results coming up this Friday, university has been on my mind. Having left two years ago now, it is still something that I often stop to think about or am reminded of.

Lost in Las Vegas
Before our trip, I must admit Vegas wasn't somewhere I'd ever had a burning desire to visit.

However after having spent three days strolling the length of the strip, those feelings have changed [...]
