Across the Pond
October 17, 2013
My quarter-life crisis happened one night in Dublin. Well, maybe it was less of a crisis and more of a predicament. And maybe I’m too young for such an ordeal. But it was jarring and frustrating nonetheless. Before arriving in Europe, I figured I would take a few trips, see a bit more of ...
