So you're meant to kind of stay in a nice hotel and do everything in a very convenient way.

And I stayed for, I don't know, five weeks or something like that.

And I lived in a room in a hostel above a bowling alley.

and got like motorbikes everywhere and was basically trying to stretch the money as far as I could.

And I think that was really brilliant, actually, because it meant that I could spend a lot of time just talking to loads of people and respecting where I was in the sense of like, you know, not just like rushing in publishing very quickly.

And, you know, you actually get to take the time to, I mean, obviously, having even more time is much better.

But

At least like taking a bit of time to, yeah, just to absorb everything that you're hearing.

I mean, to be honest, at the time, I also didn't, like, I didn't have anything else I was meant to be doing, which is the benefit of when you just graduate, isn't it?

I mean, obviously the fear and the benefit.

So it was a great opportunity for me.

And...

Yeah, I think it gave me more of an understanding of how you can arrive somewhere and make contacts and, you know, how to kind of conduct yourself and all of that.

But, of course, it was, yeah, it was a bit overwhelming.

And I feel like if I'm advising anyone, I do tell them, like, go gently.

You know, when you start, like, you don't need to push your way into things and you don't need to assume that you understand things.

The best way that you can operate is, like, very gently and carefully and take your time and, you know, just...

Yeah, I mean, you'd probably have to ask them that, but...

I think being away, I left Ireland 2014.

I moved, yeah, went to Rwanda.
