Well....my name is Chloe Traynor, I am from Wicklow and live up in the mountains in the middle of no where. I did a 2 year multimedia plc course in Blackrock to get into the second year of this course. I've been into computers since I was very young as one of my older brothers was a techy guy and showed me the ways.
I went on a J1 to the USA for the summer with 2 of my friends and it was the best experience of my life so far. you meet so many new people not just from America but from all over the world like Bulgaria, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia. We worked in South Carolina for 2 and a half months working in a restuarant where every one was super friendly and loved us just cause we were Irish. we then went travelling all along the east coast of America to Washington DC, Philadelphia and finishing off in New York. we seen everything there was to see in each of the states and by the end in New York we tried not to blow all our money so we just lived off of the euro saver menu in Mcdonald's as well as $1 slices of pizza.

I am an animal lover, I have had many different pets over the years from horses to turtles to dogs and cats to a hedgehog. At one time we had 10 cats, I now do not like cats.... My favourite animal by far is dogs, I have 2 jack Russel's at the moment, below is Roxy who is my lil babyyy
Hello Chloe! We used to study in the same college before. I was in Blackrock for Architecture and Interior design, but I barely ever saw anyone because my course was pretty much locked up in the top floor. J1 sounds like fun, my friend did it too and said it was great experience, so I'm glad you enjoyed yours too.
ReplyDeleteWoah, you had a pet hedgehog? That is really unique pet to have. I am also intriqued by the mention of horses...
Byeee.
Hi Chloe, welcome to ITB CDM I hope you are fitting in well and J1 to the USA sound so fun. I think my cousin and her boyfriend did something like that as well, I can't remember where they went I just know that they were over in America and was working at a restaurant. I never been to New York but seeing videos on youtube and hearing shows from my cousins it seems really fun and I hope one day I would go there when I'm not poor... Your dog is so cuteeee and I can't believe you had 10 cats, I don't like cats I'm a dog person. Hope you enjoy this course!
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe, welcome to second year of ITB. I like that you travelled in America, I been there three times as my best friend lives in Chicago and we travelled all across America, its a great experience. Im glad you had a nice experience in America, its a bit different than Europe.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Hi Chloe, welcome to CDM, your life sounds like ten times more interesting than mine, literally never left Europe. Working and living in America sounds fun as hell, how come you hate cats now? Having a hedgehog is like a must at this point, anyways really good introduction. Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeletePS cats suck.
Hey Chloe or is it Chole, (Only you, Brendan, Leah and I are going to get that reference ). Hows it going. Welcom to ITB and CDm, hope you're enjoying it so far. Damn you have had a pretty fun and interesting life. Sounds awesome. America must've been some craic. I rememeber going to america once but it was years ago though. Good to hear you had fun. Also your dog looks cute, dogs are pretty awesome. Also you had a lot of pets by the sounds of things, sounded like a zoo for a moment. Anyway, the blog was a great read and hope you enjoy CDM and good luck.
ReplyDeleteHiya Chloe, seems like you love traveling a lot, good thing there's many options in CDM to make something like that happen, it's good to have a background in computers, i did something similar got myself a level 5 in CDM before coming to our college, also your dog is way cute ^_^
ReplyDeletegreat introduction :)
Hey Chole,
ReplyDeleteVery nice introduction blog, I really enjoyed reading your blog. Seems like you love to explore and travel. I love to travel too. You've been to so many places oh my god! Also you mention you went to Thailand! How was it? I'm very curious how you got on there and which places or city you have visited because I am from Thailand. I would love to do what you do just travel and enjoy life. Anyway good luck!
Hey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you went to America makes me so jealous! I'd love to go and honestly this has kinda inspired me to go on a J1.. It 's cool how you met a diverse range of new people and you even mentioned Bulgaria! Im half Bulgarian so I'd love to meet more people of my ethnicity. I'm a picky eater so if I went away I'd probably be eating only mcdonalds and pizza too!
