Let the Countdown Begin

I'm starting to feel excited about heading back to Dublin y'all! I'm finishing work in less than a month and then 10 days after that, I'm on a plane headed for Dublin. What once seemed like ages away is now creeping up and I'm super ready to head back. 

In the next month, I'll be packing up my life into 2 suitcases which seems incredibly difficult considering I barely squeezed it into 3 the last time. I'll have to scale back on what I consider necessities this time around so I save the money on the additional suitcase. I'm not sure how I'll be able to do this so I'm for sure going to have to get creative when I pack everything. I'm going to have to let go of some of my attachment to things that's for sure. Besides, they'll be waiting for me when the time is right!

This month will be a bit of a blur I imagine because I have so much to accomplish. I will be getting in touch with that hospitality recruitment agency again in hopes of securing employment before I arrive. I have to start looking at rooms for rent as well which I'm actually pretty excited about. I just pray I find something with a decent sized kitchen with good lighting because I want to continue doing some recipes and photos of course. I might not be as active with the recipes being that I'll likely have a billion things I want to be doing, but a well lit, decent sized kitchen is on my radar.

I'll be tying up my loose ends this month, cancelling my phone contract, paying off the remainder of my student debt, purchasing some euros, and saying goodbye to my coworkers for the second time. It's going to be bittersweet but I just know that this time is going to be different. I'm going to make it the full year and enjoy every freaking minute of it.

I'm also in the process of discovering other opportunities abroad that I can partake in after my time is up in Ireland. In a perfect world, I'd be able to bounce around through different opportunities that took me to different European countries but I guess we'll have to take things one country at a time ;)

HAPPY VEG
