Hi everyone, I hope your week is off to a good start – despite the crazy bi-polar weather, but hey it gave me a good excuse to drink wine last night so I won’t complain I’m using these quiet weeks at home to get my head around my new routine that is ‘full-time blogging’, and …
I learnt the hard way that loving New York as much as I do is not always a good thing – I sometimes forget how big and scary it can be. On Saturday night my iPhone 6 was stolen from my handbag while sitting with my 2 friends Erika & Audrey in a bar. The …
This week was definitely a weird one in New York. Between having my phone stolen at the weekend, being sick on Tuesday and finding out my start date in Dublin yesterday – it’s all been a big change from my usual NYC life. My year with Tourism Ireland in New York is coming to an …
I am just back from a week in Cape Cod, Massachusetts with my family who came over to visit from Ireland. Those of you who follow me on Instagram & Snapchat (lou1409) already know everything I got up to this week, fitting in visits to Boston, Martha’s Vineyard, Provincetown & the beach of course. The …

Here we are again… wishing the week away until Friday. This weekend was a busy one as usual – very different to the weekends I have at home where I just take time to relax. Especially because I am only here for one year, every weekend I try and fit in as much as possible …
As move in day approaches, there is no better time to take a stroll around my new neighbourhood than now.I’ve had a busy day of packing and unpacking and I couldn’t be more excited to move in on June 12th. In the meantime I’ll be staying with family in Connecticut & travelling to the Dominican …
