My Travel Story

by: Bridget Burgoyne Start Date: Mar 23, 2021 - End Date: Mar 22, 2022
Hello!
I am in the process of applying through Bridgewater State University to do an exchange program for the Spring 2022 semester. With this program, there is no meal plan and flights are not included so I am asking for donations to help me afford these extra costs. I am travelling to Limerick Ireland where I will be studying at the University of Limerick. I chose Ireland because of my family background. My grandfather was born in Ireland, and I have a big family there. I want to be able to connect more with my family abroad, and immerse myself in the culture. While abroad I will be taking courses to complete my major along with some elective courses. I have been to Ireland three times, and everytime I have been I have felt at home. I have plans to take Irish history courses, and maybe see some family while abroad. I have a huge love for this country, and it's culture. The pictures I have on this page are from my most recent trip in 2019 where my family had a reunion. It would mean a lot to me if you could support me on this journey. I am also hoping to start some sort of travel blog while abroad to document my time in Ireland. For those who donate, I will be sending a thank you card to you as a token of my appreciation. Any amount helps, and I thank you all in advance!
