My story...

I left Vancouver on April 4 2010 to live one year abroad. I arrived in London- spent a week with my cousins, headed over to Ireland to see some more cousins and tour the country, back to London for a day- and arrived in Paris on April 28th, 2010. I found an apartment and started working on May 10th. From May 2010 until February 2011 I lived the Parisian life and took advantage of living in the epicenter of the world by traveling and exploring numerous nearby countries such as: Algeria, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the south of France, Belgium, Morocco, and South Africa.
This blog takes you into the wonderful adventures of my life with stories and pictures galore.
I was due back to Vancouver on April 1, 2011- where I took my position back after my one year leave. I flew back to Vancouver on March 27, 2011. It has been good to be back- I am so blessed as I am surrounded by such great people!!! So good to see friends and family again after 1 year!
Just because I'm back in Vancouver to what was my "normal" life... doesn't mean the adventures and blogging stop here. The adventures will continue I'm sure... so
the only way to stay informed with my random experiences is to come back to this page! So add it to your favourites.

My last day in Ireland...

I know. I am super delayed... I haven't blogged in a while. So here's making up for lost time.

So my last day in Ireland- Monday April 26, 2010, I woke up around 7am... was out the door by 8am. I had the car until 5pm and my cousin was off to work. I decided to take another mini road trip up to County Kerry (see purple line on map above). So glad I did. The main town is Kilarney where I got out of the car, asked the tourism office what I should do with 5 hours in the area. The gentleman was very nice, and he gave me a list. He first suggested I walk around the National Park... on my way there......

a bird pooped on me. Is this good luck? Or is it only good luck if they poop on your head?! Either way... what a great way to start the day.
First stop... the National Park...such a beautiful little walk.


walked around the lake...

And made my way to the waterfall... stunning!



After the walk, I decided to take more of a scenic route back to Cork... stunning rolling hills, cute little towns, beautiful scenery.



I was told from my uncle that I had to go to Skibereen...a very cute town.


I made it back to Cork in time to return the car, caught my flight, and went to London for 2 nights to pick up my stuff and make my way to Paris.
