The Wild Atlantic Way

Well! How’s she cutting? (Greetings, friend. How are you?) Well I’ve finally arrived stateside, thousands of miles from my lovely little town of Castlebar, Co.Mayo; a place where the sheep to human ratio is about 50:1. Although moving across the world was a bit scary, I was lucky to have found a small patch of Ireland here, in South Haven, Michigan. I recently graduated from Maynooth University, Co. Kildare with a BA in English Lit. & German and now I'm here, at BiddyMurphy.com as their new Digital Marketing Intern. Here in the office, I’m surrounded by a plethora of products...

With regards to my internship, I am so grateful for the opportunity to watch and learn from both Ward and Mary and the rest of the Biddy Murphy team, I am now on my way to becoming a...

Cedar Point

On Wednesday we crossed State lines again and travelled to Cedar Point in Ohio. I’m not the hugest fan of roller coasters, so I wasn’t feeling excited as much as I was feeling terrified! However, I went with the mentality, feel the fear and do it anyway! I exceeded my own expectations and went on every single roller coaster. Probably the proudest moment of my life! I’m renowned for being a big scaredy cat when it comes to heights and speed, so this was a huge deal for me! However, this was not my first visit to Cedar Point. Five...
