One blonde with her head in the clouds wandering through life in New York.
Okay so I’ve been looking for a new job for a couple of weeks to start my life in London and I’m reeeeally taking my time, exploring my options. BUT- Damn, I’m getting bored. Laying low is so difficult! I sort of feel guilty when I’m out spending money and eating out so I’m trying... Continue Reading →
Moving country should come easy to me by now, but there’s always those little things you don’t think about. It helps having someone you know living there to turn to for advice but not everyone has such comforts (well, I did but I still feel your pain). There’s nothing I love more than traveling so...

The decision to leave New York did not come easy. After missing Christmas 2016, there’s nothing I wanted more than to be with my family this time around. My graduate visa was up and I had applied for an extension which would have given me 6 months more in the US. However, if I were... Continue Reading →
It’s definitely time to freshen up my food blog. I’ve tried plenty of new restaurants over the past three months and it’s been tough trying to narrow down my favorites. This is a wide range of cuisines which I’m quite proud of considering I grew up on a strictly Irish diet. Le Coq Rico -... Continue Reading →
Without a doubt, New York City is the most festive destination for the holidays. The Rockefeller tree, ice-skating in Central Park and every tourist’s favorite, the shopping. Just walking down 5th Ave, in and out of stores with the lights and the music already has me in the Christmas spirit and it’s not even December... Continue Reading →
I don’t care what anyone says, the quarter-life crisis is a thing. It’s completely normal to freak out about.. well, every aspect of your ‘young professional’ life. I hate that phrase, it basically means fresh meat. It’s the unknown, always second guessing your recent career moves, city of residence, did we have one tequila shot... Continue Reading →
Cocktail bars are plentiful across New York City but some of the best are hidden gems. They break your heart. You wish you could sip them all day long but the best kind are found in the most expensive bars. It’ll be alright, just don’t check your bank balance. Dear Irving I just love the...

I’ve been to a lot of different cities and states during the year and also when I lived in California, but some trips really stood out and have to be considered as a destination in any young explorer’s travel plans. Miami “I think I’d be a really good full time partier, where do I apply?”... Continue Reading →
Considering how much of a home bird I was before college, I’m quite proud of how long I’ve stayed here without a trip home to Ireland. I had every opportunity to go home, but I kept reminding myself of all the trips I had planned. Booking ten days off to go home is ten days... Continue Reading →
Going to brunch at the weekend is as sacred as a Catholic going to Sunday mass. It’s one of my favorite things to do here because there’s countless restaurants that are raved about, you never run out of new spots to try. Every neighborhood has everything from bottomless brunch, to comfort food to quirky all-day... Continue Reading →
