Sarah Cosgrove
Hello, Sarah here! I'm a BSC psychology student out on my placement year. I've swapped the capital of UK (yes I am a Londoner) for Ireland's and am living it up in Dublin now. I work as a Full Time Volunteer for the Dublin Simon Community in a homeless hostel. Outside of my busy work schedule I'm spending my time going for hikes in Howth, getting very sandy feet at our nearby beach, exploring all the parks around and doing as much vintage shopping as my bank account will allow. (Plus trying to avoid the never-ending rain here).
