Hi, my name is Erion, I’m 16 years old, and I’m currently living and working in Dublin as part of my exchange program.

I work for a company called the School Tour Company, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience here. The team is amazing, everyone is friendly and supportive, and the work environment makes it easy to feel at home. I also attend the ISI Dublin school, which has been a great way to balance work and study. I enjoy the lessons, and it’s nice to have a change of routine from my job.

One of the biggest surprises of my stay has been my host family. My host mum is the best, and living with her has exceeded all my expectations. She’s kind, supportive, and makes sure I feel comfortable every day. Before coming here, I was nervous and unsure of how I would manage this experience, but I’ve grown a lot as a person. I’ve made good friends with some of my classmates and have learned so much about myself along the way.
