Cliffs of Moher

Submitted by Nyasha Rutanhira on the 2025 Spring program in Limerick, Ireland…

I arrived in Limerick, Ireland, almost a week ago, and I am really settling in well. I was a little nervous at first that I would have a hard time meeting new people. However, the University of Limerick ensures that its study-abroad students can acclimate quickly through orientation meetings and exciting excursion opportunities.

One of these excursions took us to the famous Cliffs of Moher, an experience I won’t soon forget. The moment we arrived, I was totally blown away—literally. The winds at the cliffs were unlike anything I had ever felt before. Just days earlier, Ireland had been hit by a countrywide red-level storm, and lingering gusts at the cliffs reached up to 50 miles per hour. While my pictures may not capture the intensity, I can assure you that we were struggling just to stay on our feet without being swept away! (Submitted January 29, 2025)
