My journey from Tanzania to Galway, Ireland, started on 1st September 2019. The Irish Council for International Students (ICOS), which contracted by Irish Aid as the managing agency for its Fellowship Programmes arranged for everything, including travel tickets, accommodation while in Dublin, as well as permanent accommodation at Edward Squire Apartment (in Eyre Squire). Upon arrival, I, together with other fellows, received a brief on studying and living in Ireland. I was also delighted to attend the International student orientation at NUIG.
