Florence V: Just My Luck
New Generation Festival-Night II When my alarm wakes me up, I head to the bathroom to get ready and this time I am not as nervous as I get dressed. I don’t try to leave a bit earlier as I did the night before and I don’t even put as much effort (or time) into […]

Farewell to Dublin
On my last day in Dublin I felt very meh. I had no desire to get out of bed so I slept in for a bit. When I woke up I pepped myself to head into town just to finish seeing the As Above, So Below: Portals, Visions, Spirits & Mystics exhibition at the Irish […]
