WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class was Celtic Mythology, Folklore and Religion. I loved learning about the history of Irish folklore and how it impacted religion in Ireland. I had some prior ideas about Irish folklore and mythology, but it was so fascinating to learn more about it in depth and to connect with that aspect of Ireland's culture.

HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
In Galway, there was a market every weekend where venders would sell things like produce and crafts. I frequently visited this market to support the local venders and experience an authentic moment in the Galway community. There were also occasionally specific farmers markets and craft fairs in Eyre square that I loved to go to as well.
