API: Experience Dublin, Ireland (Scholarships Available)

It is said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, and the country’s history is almost tangible. In terms of Ireland’s landscape, the gentle rainfall, called “soft weather” by the locals, really creates 40 shades of green and quite a few rainbows, too. Ancient moss-covered ring forts crouch in lush valleys, while stone-strewn monastic ruins and lone castle turrets brave the wind on nearby hilltops. Many come to Ireland with high expectations of its romantic scenery, a blend of the raw and rugged with mist-covered verdancy, and seldom return home disillusioned. Dublin is arguably the most well-known Irish city, famous for its pubs and beautiful scenery. As a student in Dublin, you will have access to all aspects of Irish culture and community.
