Starting that Journey of a Thousand Steps


They say that a journey of a thousands steps starts with the first step. Consider this post the first step. The majority of this upcoming day will be spent between airports and airplanes. The exciting part of this is that, in reality, this is the first time I’ll ever be flying. It is probably around the time were most people’s travel blogs will tell you their pre-flight expectations of their trip. To your possible disappointment, I will not be doing that for you. Publically posting such expectations will probably only cause the opposite of all such results I’m hoping for, so no. I will, however, tell you what I hope to accomplish with the blog.

I hope to essentially chronicle my adventures during my time studying at University College Cork. I hope also to provide decent scope of comparison and contrast between the Irish and American way of life. I also hope to provide a fair scope between the differences of the cultures within the different major cities within Ireland.

While the blog’s title suggests that my time and analysis will be strictly from Cork, I will attempt to travel throughout Ireland and other sections of Europe.

But to close this entry, I’ll return to the opening point. The first step starts today. From Philadelphia International Airport, to Boston Airport, and then ending this first step by landing in Dublin Airport.  I’m beginning my own rocky road to Dublin.
