Adios Madrid…

With a whole range of mixed emotions… From Madrid Barajas airport – my last video from Spain after an amazing year of living in this fantastic city.

Global Student Entrepreneur Awards 2017

Last week in Frankfurt I had the pleasure of meeting some of the best student entrepreneurs from around the world.

I’ve been involved with the GSEA (gsea.org) for the last four years and every time I meet these #studentpreneurs I am blown away by their passion and enthusiasm to make the world a better place.Read More

Fallas Valencia! (Falles in Valenciano!)

I’m in Valencia at the moment enjoying the Falles festival.

It’s a fantastic festival with an interesting history and incredible works of art all over the city that get burned down at the end of the celebrations!

GSEA Ireland Competition – 2017

We had the Irish final of the GSEA (Global Student Entrepreneur Awards) in the GEC again this year. It was a fantastic event with Seo Linn kicking things off before having the tough job of picking between four great female entrepreneurs to represent Ireland in the global finals in Frankfurt.

Visiting Google Campus Madrid

Google Campus Madrid is a cool co-working space for startups and budding entrepreneurs. The space is really comfortable with ridiculously fast free WiFi!

If you’re in Madrid and you’re looking for somewhere with great energy to try out your new idea, come down to the Google Campus for a coffee…

Madrid – the story so far…

So I’m about half way through my year in Madrid with the family.

This morning I thought I’d share some of my thoughts so far and what I’d still like to do before we return home to our “normal life” in Dublin.

#First7Jobs

1. Drawing and selling comics – loved it

In 3rd class – around 8 or 9 years old.  I was probably selling comics for 5p but photocopying them in my parents office to the cost of around 35p per comic – I’ve improved my grasp on economics since!Read More

Stunt Drive Ireland Experience

For my birthday, I got a voucher to go to the Stunt Drive Ireland experience where we learned the best techniques for slalom driving (both driving forward and in reverse) as well as handbrake turning and parking.

It was a great day, where we broke down the different parts of the course separately and then put them all together for a time trial.

Afterwards we all got taken around in different drifting cars and a cat and mouse chase by some of the qualified stunt drivers / instructors – just to terrify us a little!
