Without a doubt, the store I’ve missed the most while living in Belfast is Target. What a joy it was to wander its aisles once again!

I’m currently about 18.5 hours into my trip from my parents’ house in Riverside, CA back to grad school in Belfast, with a layover in London. It was such an amazing visit but so hard to say goodbye! ❤️

I’ve officially made it from London to Dublin. Now there’s just a 2-hour bus ride left between me and Belfast!

Last leg of the 24-hour journey from Riverside, CA to Belfast is the Aircoach bus. So close!

Getting ready to head to London for my first proper visit (as opposed to simply an airport stopover) since 2007!

After an hour delay, I have finally arrived in #London!

Bye London…it’s back to Belfast!

Very early morning and bit of a rough flight…feeling happy to finally be home!

It’s been just over 6 months since I was last in the United States. But today I am heading back for a much-needed visit! First step in the journey: bus from Belfast city centre to Dublin airport. #wheelsonthebus #goinghome #californiaadventure

I’m officially on the plane getting ready to fly from Dublin to Los Angeles. So excited to spend the next 2 weeks with family! #readyfortakeoff #goinghome #californiaadventure

I made a new friend last night at the pumpkin patch! #Halloween #pickingpumpkins 🎃

Day 2 of my #californiaadventure featured a #halloween #barcrawl 🍻🎃

Big thank you to Queen's University Belfast 🎓 for putting on a #Thanksgiving dinner yesterday for its American students, staff, and alumni. You really helped to fill the void brought on by being so far from family on this U.S. holiday! 🦃🍁

One of the best things about moving to a new place is discovering new #music. Here in #Belfast, my favorite local #band is Mr. Pink. And lucky me, they are headlining this Friday night at The Pavilion, Belfast! Learn more: instagram.com/mrpinkbelfast?…
