It must be a really intense experience leaving home for the first time to study abroad and Ireland sounds like a great first place to start your travel experience! I can't even imagine the beautiful scenery you'll be able to capture in your photos! I look forward to seeing lots of good pictures and stories.

Hey when I'm done in India I'm heading to the UK for a few days, early December. (I had a layover there anyway on the flight home so I just had them stretch it out some.) Drop me a line if you think you can make it across the water!

Hi I'm Roger's Mom and I couldn't be prouder of Roger! Thanks to JYA I will be able to share in his study abroad experience.

Hey Rog...So proud of you! This website is beautiful! :) I can't wait to come visit!

If you ever meet a DJ Paul Hannon (probably at GPO NightClub) tell him Erratic said what's up.

Make sure you go to Wards!!! It's an amasing sandwich shop near NUIG.

Hey Roger! We are so excited for you. This JYA thing is pretty cool! Mike says DONT kiss the Blarney Stone...he will tell you why later

Hey Roger! I saw a clip about the JYA on the news tonite and I was like I SWEAR I went to school with him...its either Roger or Dan lol....this is April Carron I was in your homeroom all 4 years of high school and probably a few classes too....good luck to you on all your trips to come!

April

Hey Roger- I was so sorry I missed your- seeing you off party... What a road a head you have.... I have already enjoyed the beautiful pictures- can't wait to see more.... Have fun!!! xoxo

Roger, how exciting to see my nephew on NBC last night. I want you to know how proud we are of you. I always knew you were going to do something with your eyes and inspiration. Even as a young child at the age of 4 you loved looking for the prettiest and best rocks you could find around our pool, and then try to sell them back to me!!! Keep up the good work and HAVE FUN. Look forward to more of your pictures. Love Aunt Dianne

Roger---Have a great time in Ireland. Take some great pictures and I look forward to hearing about your experiences over there. Wish we had the opportunity when I was younger that you are having now. Stay well.
Uncle Conrad

Roger, how fantastic for you! What a thrill to hear about this. I can't wait to see the results.

And if you learned anything from my class, backup everything!

Rheuben and I are already picking out wall space for the great images you're going to bring back. LOVE the Greek & Egyptian pics currently adorning our abode.

Keep up the fabulous work. Your local fans are cheering you on.

Remember when we used to get Yoo Hoos? Yeah, you sucked then and you suck now.

This is great, Roger! This is so cool and fun to watch! Hope your having fun!

Roger-I'm so jealous! but seriously, this is an awesome opportunity for you to see the world. I hope you enjoy and get some much out of this trip.

Hey Roger,
my name's tara and I live in dublin, ireland at the moment!
just commenting to say good luck in galway... if you come up to dublin (which you should!) be sure to visit a place called "New Grange" it's a tomb in the countryside that is older than the pyramids!

Hi Roger!
Best wishes for a fun and productive trip. If you do make it over to the Dublin side of Ireland, please check out "Powerscourt Gardens". I saw it 20 years ago, and still remember it, and would love to see it again through your eyes. Roses of every color!! The roses may not be in season, but from the website, looks like there are many feasts for the eye (and camera) over there. I, too, love the Irish landscapes out in the countryside - it feels so wild, especially when you contrast it to the more manicured neighbor, England.
Be well! Love, Bianca

Hey Roger,

My name's Nick and I'm a UH student (english major) studying in London this semester. You must let me know where the best places are to visit in Ireland as I intend on stopping by. Good luck and have fun! Cheers!

hey Roger,

Hi Roger! This website is awesome! And so is Ireland...what an amazing opportunity for you! The pictures from there will no doubt be amazing! Have fun! :o)
