A Year in Emerald Island

Today I'm celebrating a year I came to Ireland. It was a special day that I will forever remember and cherish.

Here's a very brief summary of my year in photos!

I am truly thankful for all what this land has shown me and taught me, and I'm ready for more!

    1. Thank you my dear! Oh, I shall write about that so ^_^ what I'm doing here professionally is not so exciting to write about, all I'm doing at the moment is working in a shop to pay my bills. Exciting is what I do on my free time :D

  3. Ireland is truly beautiful. Though I have family there, I have only visited the isle once so far. My maternal grandmother was a first-generation American of Scots-Irish descent. She taught me about plants and told me stories about selkies when I was child.

    1. Alicia, how lucky you were to have such grandmother to teach you about plants and tell you such stories <3 I don't have irish ancestry, not that I know of, but I do have an irish soul, and this country has called me since an early age. You certainly must return, 'tis a magical land :)
