So since I know many of you, or a few for that matter, look back and forth on this blog to kind of track my adventures, or out of sheer boredom, I decided to give you a little update. But beware, this is nothing fully exciting as not much has happened since the last blog.
This morning (Thursday) I went to Cork to do the same working abroad expo as in Dublin and left around 10.30 am to get there and set up. This expo is scheduled from about 1pm-8pm so it's a very long day of repeating myself and talking about the same thing, but hey what can you do? I got back into town a bit after 8pm, as we left the expo a bit early since we have to get up and do the same thing tomorrow morning.
It's a long day and gets tiring at times, but I do enjoy hearing and noticing the big interest in people wanting to travel and look for ways to make money while doing it. It kind of reminds me that I'm not so crazy to be over here and living this life day-by-day to see what it holds for me.
On the drive back into town I was talking to the coworker who went with me and she was explaining how she thought fate had a big role in where we find ourselves and the things we end up doing. Our conversation definitely made me start thinking and it really is pretty ironic when i think about how I ended up here.
When I was studying abroad in Australia I had picked up a brochure from the STA office (when we were planning our Easter break trip) and it happened to be an i-to-i brochure. I was originally looking at the volunteer travel opportunities, specifically volunteering in Honduras at a news station for Journalism. Being over there was kind of those moments when you feel a complete high in life, like no pain can get to you and everything is this great utopia. Imagine feeling alive and having control over your life again, during a time in which back home you seemed to be fighting to stay afloat, fighting to breathe. I had needed an escape from what cards where dealt to me during that time and Australia saved me. That's what being abroad was doing to me, and I was trying to plan ANY way possible to keep that high and not go dry and feel 'reality' hit me again.
When I came back to Chico State to finish my last year I had basically forgotten all about i-to-i and the opportunities through them. After graduation I was visiting a friend of mine in Sacramento and one of the most vivid memories I have is sitting in his living room with his roommate and that roommate's girlfriend, another dear friend of mine. The two had spent a share of time traveling on their own and together in the UK. Somehow Ireland had gotten brought up and it was right then that I had decided that there was something about that country that enticed me. Little did I know it would become my next savior. It might have been the idea of rolling green countryside, quaint brick cottages or Celtic castles- you know, the kind you see on Braveheart. But it was at that moment the Irish seed was planted in my head subconsciously, but once again I pushed the thought aside.
A few months later I found myself alive but barely breathing again, figuratively speaking of course. I had been so focused on wanting to create a life back up north, for the wrong reasons, and soon found out when a heart breaks it doesn't always break even. I suddenly found myself paddling to stay afloat. And no wise words were healing anything anytime soon.
And then like magic, the next week I came across the i-to-i internship online for ironically, Ireland. After applying on a whim I got a call back and within the few weeks time I had booked a ticket and bought a new suitcase. One strong enough to carry my baggage, yet spacious enough to hold a new life. I realized sometimes old scars will never fade, but by making new memories and new starts you learn to chance the opportunities. And one day you just may forget enough to not hold back anymore.
Some might say that I'm just running away from something...but how can you run from something that's not chasing you, or even existent for that matter.
So instead, I'd like to think I'm just hunting for something I have yet found.
But to be honest...I think I'm getting close, a littler closer each day. And when that day comes, I will cheers it with a Whiskey-seven in my hand.

Walk the Talk and Make the Nightly News!
This weekend I went to Dublin for a Working Abroad Expo on Saturday and Sunday for work. It was basically a big auditorium where different companies have stands and the public can come and look into all the different options for working abroad. Most the companies there were actually based around moving/working in Canada and Australia, apparently the two popular places for the Irish these days. The expo was from about 10 am - 5 pm and was a lot busier then we had expected.
Waking up around 8 am Saturday, to get to our stand around 9, Sarah and I were pleasantly surprised to find our i-to-i stand right in front of the coffee and muffin stand. Plus what made it even better was that exhibitors got any coffee free for the whole day! There was a really big turn out both days, but we definitely had a lot more interest than we would have expected. Even though both days were extremely long and non-stop busy, there is something about talking to people about different travel and teaching opportunities that really makes me enjoy the work. I feel like I can really relate to the people who are looking for something challenging and different, but aren't sure why the heck they are doing something so risky. It's that hunt for finding yourself. That gut that is steering you toward Korea, Thailand, or somewhere in the vast South African desert doing a career you would never had imagined. Not to mention being American selling the idea of working and traveling abroad to the Irish shows I'm not just 'talk.' I honestly do feel like while I work with customers or even just random people inquiring about i-to-i, I start to realize more and more each day where I see myself or what I want to do.
That first night after the expo, the company that was organizing the whole event invited all the other companies to one of the local pubs across the street to watch the final rugby match of Ireland vs Wales. Now this was a very exciting moment in all Ireland, or any of the 6 nations for that matter, because if Ireland beat Wales then not only would they win the rugby championship, but it would be the first time since 1948 that Ireland would have a grand slam, winning every single match.
Now, having grown up a baseball and football girl myself, I have come to realize that rugby can kick the crap out of both those sports. Not only are these guys built five times the size of normal-day-Joe, but they have the thickness of Humpback Whales, the strength linebackers wish for, and more endurance than any player whose life was to train for running bases. Not only is rugby a full contact sport, but the only accessory to the shirt and shorts are shoes and a mouth-gard (i.e.: NO padding what-so-ever, no helmet, no sliding shorts- take that football). Plus, what may make the game hard to follow, the clock rarely ever stops and the players rarely ever stop pushing, shoving and beating the life out of each other to regroup for a new play or form on the line. This is a game I would only last .2 seconds in, but can watch all day, mainly because of the number one rule of rugby: the players must be remarkably gorgeous. Now the real talent of this crazed European sport is how they retain their beautiful faces; Or as Sarah describes, the "humm-ina hummm-ina" of themselves.
Probably the most dramatic and exhausting game, these two teams battled until the very end with Ireland ultimately outlasting Wales 15 - 17. While I am still on my hunt to discover 'what it means to be Irish,' I did realize that massive support and celebration was defined under the Irish name. I did learn two very fun and interesting facts about the Triple Crown trophy from my rugby buddy who was sitting behind me at the pub. He was very impressed about the young American girl in front of him supporting Ireland rugby, and following the game as if she was raised on it. He shared these fun facts with me so I could challenge someone later...
1) Question: What has the most recent change been to the trophy?
Answer: The inside now has gold lining because the champagne celebration would degrade the trophy
2) Question: How many bottles of champagne fill the trophy?
Answer: Five, because there use to only be 5 Nations in the rugby.
And challenge someone I did. Of course in the Irish spirit we bet a drink that I would know something about Irish rugby that the heavy-set Irish native wouldn't know... I scored a Jack and Diet out of it, while I'm sure he scored a story his friends will never let down!
When we returned in the morning for the second expo day, David, one of the organizers, came up to me and informed me that I had been on the Ireland news last night. Completely taken back wondering if my American rugby enthusiasm made the nightly news, David informed me that the RTE News was at the expo and ran a short segment at 6 pm, and then again at 9 pm and zoomed into me at our booth. In horror, when we got back to Dungarvan Sunday night I went onto the news Web site and there it was, the video clip of the 9 am news and while you only see me for a brief moment....I was on the nightly news!!...AND I was recognized!
Click onto the link below (or you may have to copy and paste it) to watch the segment! After the lady starts talking you will see a scan of people at the expo and then toward the end it scans into someone holding a brochure titled "TEFL jobs Abroad, Get Paid to Travel" and you will see me in my lovely Green i-to-i work shirt!
http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0321/9news_av.html?2511843,null,230
Kind of ironic showing on the news the American in Ireland selling the idea of working abroad...
This Friday I will be going to Cork for the same expo from 1-8 pm so maybe I'll get a spot on nightly news again...stay tuned!

p.s. Had to put this in my blog for a shout out to a friend who keeps in touch as best he can.
Promised you I'd find it and here's the proof!

Last weekend I ventured out of Dungarvan again and a group of us went to FOTA, a wildlife park outside of Cork. The day was a bit dreary but at least the ran waiting until we had left!
On your way to the entrance
One of the first signs when you walk in.
The next very important sign
At the entrance Ollie was trying to find the other part of our group on the map, while Steph was looking at where all the animals were. I took this picture after one of the best conversations ever:
Steph:(looking at the map) "Oh look, there are the giraffes, monkeys, and zebras!"
Taylor: "Oh cool! Hey steph where are the Woolly Mammoths??!"
Steph: "ummmm" (just keeps looking at the map all over) "uhhh"
Taylor: "BAHAHAH! Woolly Mammoths are extinct!!"
Steph: "Oh crap!" and starts laughing histerically...*picture is taken*
The Zebras!
The were rebel Zebras and kept getting over the walls...
Baby giraffe eating lunch..
I decided to not take note of this sign
Trying to slide down the little kid slide
At the top of the slide
One of the many cheetahs
A family of little lemurs hanging out with the spider monkeys
Two familiar faces by now
Our monkey friend
Another buddy of ours hanging in the tree
The worlds perfectly colored duck.
Ollie getting attached by the ducks
Feeding time
Ostriches are really funny looking animals. And they don't put their heads in the ground, Disney lies to you.
Is your mama a llama?
Just hanging out on the side of the walkway with my friends and the llamas.
More of the Zebras
The group of Bison...the closest I got to woolly mammoths.
More of our Cheetah friends
Now the videos I look had a problem uploading so check back soon and I'll try and get those posted!

Pints, friends, pictures
Last weekend Steph and I went out for a pint, key word being 'A' pint. There is no such thing as going out in Ireland for one pint, so of course our casual night turned into quite an adventure as we ran into some friends we knew...
so now here are some new faces of Ireland
Ok well these aren't new faces but a normal roommate/North American picture
We went to the Local and ran into Una, one o our post office buddies!
A picture of the group at Creations club in town...
Another group picture but kind of blurry....sorry for cutting you out Steph!
There was some weird light, which looks like the sun but I doubt it was out at this hour...
Some of the girls!

A Turn of Events: yet another twist in the road
So a lot has been going on these last few weeks on my not so little, yet small Island. Along with the daily routine of work, breathing, sleeping, showering and eating (not in any particular order) I have been at this constant battle in my mind. Some of this information might be news to a few, assumed knowledge to others, and just plain out of the blue to some.
BACKGROUND INFO
I'm currently on a working holiday visa for 5 months (the longest visa I could obtain at the time) which expires in May. About a month and half ago I came across new information on both the US Government and Irish Government site which talked about a new agreement between both countries to now allow citizens to travel, live and work in each others' country for up to 12 months.
Now considering this information was relatively new at the time of my leaving, you can imagine my frustration when I found this out after searching for weeks, even months, on how to get a longer visa without company sponsorship....plus the only Irish guys I knew in SD had already left so I couldn't run to Vegas, or the Chapel around the corner from that little coffee house on Garnet. During this time I was never informed of this visa possibility, from both sides of the government.
Long story short I have been put through the ringer multiple times in effort of finding some kind of information from my government or the Irish government in how to go about getting the longer visa. I have done all the research, know all the limitations and restrictions, yet no where on the application does it say US citizens currently living in Ireland on an alternative visa cannot apply for this new visa while living abroad. It just states that I would have to leave "the state in which I am living" and return again to activate the new 12 month visa. Basically all my contacts I have tried are telling me conflicting information. The US is telling me to ask the Irish consulates in the US, those Irish consulates (in the US) are telling me to deal with the Irish government IN Ireland (since I am already here, which makes since) but the government here refuses to give me information. I was flat out told by the Irish Government of Foreign Affairs that they were told by higher authority to not help our persons under this matter, even though the agreement is still in effect and permitted.....SAY WHAT?!
So I have sent off all my necessary details and application to my parents who are using a contact of ours on the East coast (who has Irish ties) in hope that he might be able to help me.
Which leads me to my current battle...
I have been going back and forth with what I would do if given the chance to stay a full year. Not only would I have great travel opportunities within my company (i.e.: Nepal, Thailand, Spain, South Africa, etc), but I would get the chance to continue working within the industry I love: Travel and Writing.
I cant tell you how many Pros and Cons lists I've made but they frankly come down to a few things. I miss my CA weather. Whether it be Northern or Southern California I miss it: the warm sun, the beach, the life. Of course I miss my family but given if I stay I know I can get them to come to me, wherever that may be. But it's you reading this right now that makes my heart ache.
The life I created with you: whether it be wanting to plan a summer reunion Vegas trip, living together in a Northern coastal town, seeing the birth of one of my oldest friends baby in July (the first out of of my best friends), missing 23rd birthdays, Chico reunions, missing applying for The Amazing Race, not being able to call during my car's oil change or plan trips sitting in a hammock or floating down a river in a tube. Now this all seems like silly small things, but when you add them all together and how I miss all the people who surrounded my life back home its hard to think about separating yourself even longer.
But then I know if and when I leave this cloud-covered Island, I won't live here again with this opportunity. Chances are I will be headed back home to start the job search and putt around a while before finding out what I want to do. In this state it seems stupid to leave a great job opportunity to an empty hand. So I have made the decision that I will officially stay until at least August(the date of my return flight) if my year visa doesn't go through. After May, I will go travel and come back into Ireland on my visitor permit which lasts up to 90 days, at which I will show my return flight ticket as proof.
If my visa can be extended I am going to stay. Yes I will have to find some alternative tan, but the chances of regretting staying are much more slim than the regret of not fully committing and experiencing an opportunity I was to go home. I'm announcing this here, and I apologize to those of you who are close to me, but it was the only way I could get myself to say it. I need to stay, I'm going to stay and I'm pretty sure I have to stay for some inner reason in myself. I miss you all so very much and wish I could be home in the warm summer to experience all those joys I mentioned with you, but this is where I need to be for now. So just know that you are my weakness and while I love hearing you miss me too, be as happy for me to be here as you would be if I were home. All your love weighs on me and I really do take everything you say to heart.
An old friend has been a great inspiration to me and while I'm sure they have no clue that I am listening to their words, Thank you. On the off chance you come across this blog know that I agree with you and I can't go home and wake one day wondering if I'll ever see the pyramids; wondering if I ever tried. I know this world is crumbling in front of me and I really do feel like I'm running out of time, but I've decided to take my time and slow down.
When I can decided what this new point of view is that is affecting my whole life you will be the first to know.
Love and miss you all...thank you for being a part of this whole adventure with me!

HEY GUYS!
Hey All!! Sorry I haven't written in ages, things at work have picked up and as the busy intern I'm running around trying to accomplish too many things at once!
I will try and post an update tomorrow, as it is almost midnight here now and I have work in the morning. I will be leaving Dungarvan to go into the town/county of Kilkenny on Friday all day to attend a guidance counselor fair for work. I'm not sure if I am returning on Friday or coming back in Saturday. Therefore, on my return I will post pictures, more fabulous videos (there may possibly be more dancing old men!) and stories.
Plus I will give an update on future travel plans and events as I have now updated my parents on this issue as well. I figured they might want to know before the rest of the world does with some of my whereabouts. :)
Miss you all and hope everything is going fabulous back at home! xxoo
p.s. I have already made contact with this person but felt inclined to add this special note....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!!!! ♥
