While you can do this by joining a local arts class, or a sports group, volunteering is a great way to give back to your host community.

Weekend in Belfast!

I recently spent a weekend in Belfast, Northern Ireland with some friends and I one hundred percent recommend anyone studying abroad or even coming to Ireland go and check out Belfast. It was a very easy two hour train ride from Dublin's city center into Belfast, and the views along the way were incredible. I did not end up staying in Belfast, but instead stayed in a smaller town called Saintfield about ten miles outside of the city. I planned this trip kind of late, but I do recommend staying in Belfast itself if possible.
