I Moved To America For The Summer... Here's The Reality

After finishing my exams in Ireland, I packed my bags and moved to Chicago for the summer on a J1. In this video, I'm sharing what my first week was actually like — from the flight over and dealing with jet lag, to exploring the city, finding a routine, staying active, meal prepping, and settling into a completely new environment. If you're thinking about doing a J1, moving abroad, or you're just curious about what life in Chicago is really like, hopefully you'll enjoy this one.
