About this blog

Hi friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my site. TravelPod is a fantastic opportunity for me to record my travels not only for myself, but also to let all of you know what I'm getting up to.

I left California in June 2005, shortly after graduating with a bachelor's degree. I spent some time living, working, and studying for a Master's degree in England and Ireland. I've recently married a wonderful Irishman, Ross, and have settled down in Dublin. I don't update my blogs very often, but do check back every few months for updates!

Love, Amy
