Hello! And welcome to the new podcast about my book: Attempting Local: A Year Abroad in Galway, Ireland. Attempting Local follows my journey as I explore Ireland, surf the waves of the North Atlantic, hike the country's rugged mountains, and travel throughout Europe... all while striving toward a master's degree. It’s an extremely honest account of how tough it can be to leave everything behind and move abroad, though it simultaneously demonstrates the beauty of a life of solo travel. Enjoy the introductory episode, and get ready for the adventure in Ireland! Head to anchor.fm/cullan-mcnamara OR patreon.com/cullanmac to support the show!
