Season 2, Episode 3: The New York Rose Of Tralee Sophie Colgan

Today I am joined by the wonderful  Sophie who emigrated from Ireland to New York for a better life after getting a taste of what America was like on a J1 Visa summer experience.This is a different type of episode today as we look at what it's like to live in other countries around the world as an expat.New York opened so many doors of opportunities for Sophie including being crowned the New York Rose Of Tralee.However, Sophie is very honest about the fast-paced lifestyle that comes with living in a city that never sleeps. She discusses why she had to give up alcohol for her mental health after endless nights out and waking up the night after the Conor Mc Gregor fight in Madison Square Garden with a sad realisation. A truly inspiring story on how giving up alcohol has changed Sophie's  life for the better.Head over to @acountydownunder for more tips and tricks on living abroad and how to attend one of my monthly events.Or join one of the sunrise social groups throughout Australia to meet new friends :)https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sunrise-social-sydney-tickets-118621517151 Make sure to rate the podcast :)Follow @acountydownunder on Instagram and TikTok and visit www.acountydownunder.com for all you need to know about life abroad .Join Caroline's amazing weekly Sunrise Social clubs across the world.The podcast is proudly sponsored by Gym+Coffee: 20% Discount code: DOWNUNDER
