Fall for Ireland you too!

There have passed one month since I came back home from living one of the best experiences of my life. It started very quickly, I did all the paperwork and prepared the bags in less than 48 hours. I knew almost nothing about that green island that now has a huge space in my heart. I travelled a lot. I did many new friends. I discovered the charity shops and some markets. I learnt how to use the word 'craic' correctly. I did zorbing. I got crazy watching living hurling. I drunk beer. And more beer. And more. I improved my English and I also became a better person. And I grew up professionally too - It was the main thing to do! 

I could be saying thank you during days but I want specially thank Rut - my person ♥ - Bill, Roberta, Stephanie, Laia, Tara, Tom, Erica, Mary, Alara, Emel, Adnan, Stephen, Anthony, Conor, Malgorzata, Ger, Gearoid... Almost every person I met there did my life perfect. Thanks a million to you all. 

I started few days ago to apply for job vacancies and even Au-pair vacancies - most of them also in Ireland! If I go back there again someday (I'm sure I will sooner or later), I will write here again and I will share with you my thougths and livings one more time.

Now my holidays finished - I spent a few days travelling with my boyfriend after two months separated for 2000 km! So I wanted to show you a few examples of how my life goes on.

Maybe now you understand why I wore four jackets in my flights back home... I got really good bargains (specially in Clara market) and I found nice presents for all people I wanted. Any way, I think that the best memories of Ireland are in my mind and presents are just a part of my adventure there. What I know is that I met people who I will always remember during my whole life and they did myself better and my life there unforgettable.
