I take off this evening and arrive in Dublin tomorrow at 12:30pm! I plan on staying in Dublin for a month and then my family – mom, dad and brother – are visiting! As a family we will travel around for two weeks, visiting mainly smaller towns around the West Coast. I am super excited to visit the castles and to see the rolling hills! I can’t wait to walk the countryside as “Rambling Rosie.”

I struggle with anxiety on a daily basis and I most definitely have anxiety around traveling to Ireland all by myself. Fortunately, the non-anxious side of me pushes myself out of my comfort zones. I know pushing myself out of my comfort zones, pushes me closer to the best version of myself, which is ultimately my main goal for this experience.
