It was never my intention to become an expat. You could go as far as saying it was the furthest thing from my mind to even think about leaving Ireland 10 years ago. Then I met a few open minded girls when studying nursing in college. They spoke about travel with such enthusiasm and passion and it ignited a thirst for the unknown within me. Before going to college I holidayed in Ireland year after year and had known no different. After graduating I moved to London to nurse and began to plan long weekends away to different destinations within Europe. My 4 visited countries took quite the leap to 23, then 28 and I still wanted more.

Now I am an expat and I’ve certainly caught the travel bug. I’m not ready to head back to Ireland’s green pastures just yet! I’m excited to see more, travel further and experience life in different countries.
The best is yet to come!

Why travel? I only have to hear the word ‘travel’ to get all starry eyed. I truely believe that everybody should travel at least once in their lifetime. Travelling is an amazing educator, it teaches you about life, makes you humble and inspires you with a sense of passion, where an ‘every day’ existence might not. I think travel helps you realize what’s out there too, you start seeing things differently. It reveals the possibilities that life has to offer. You see there’s more to life than what you’ve been led to believe. There’s a whole world out there to explore.
