My Travel Story

This study abroad trip will take place during the fall of 2017, at NUI Galway. I will be studying Celtic anthropology and archaeology and learning the Irish language. I have chosen Galway because the city is known for its vibrant folk music scene, and as a fiddle player I intend to be very involved in that during my stay! I will be using my experiences to complete my thesis project for my Honors BA in Anthropology/Archaeology, which I am working on at Oregon State University. I intend to make Celtic anthropology and archaeology the focus of my career, and the survival of Irish culture through music and language is one of my favorite subjects to learn about. I identify as a member of the Irish Diaspora and it has been a lifelong goal of mine to visit my ancestral homeland. Thank you so much for helping me achieve my biggest dreams!
