Ireland Just Gets Better

As a returnee to living in Ireland, Stint was exactly what I was looking for. Having studied abroad in Cork in college, I was keen to return to Ireland. As a graduate I was looking for work experience that would allow me to explore the career path I'd chosen. Stint provided me with an excellent internship with Coastwatch as well as a house in a gorgeous part of Dublin to call home.

My internship with Coastwatch was exactly what I was hoping for. I spent my time hands- on in the field conducting eco-audits, interacting with the public raising awareness to environmental issues, as well as attending workshops and conferences. I learned so much from Coastwatch in just three months and really enjoyed my internship. It definitely gave me the motivational drive I needed to pursue a focus in the environmental marine sciences.

Stint Ireland was wonderful in being interactive without making me claustrophobic and allowed me to explore Dublin at my own pace. They were good about making sure I was enjoying my internship and settling into Dublin alright. I really enjoyed living in the Stint accommodation in Portobello- it's the perfect distance from everything in Dublin as well as having a nice residential vibe.

Overall, my stint in Dublin was outstanding but I would change one thing: I wish I'd stayed longer!
