I\u2019m very grateful that I got this chance to contribute to the blog and to get the chance to work with such a wonderful blogging team. I\u2019m looking forward to reading posts from new bloggers in the next few weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it feels like two years was a very short time, I am delighted that I got to experience life in Sweden. My time at KTH was so valuable to me both personally and professionally. It opened my eyes to a plethora of new ideas, methods of working and ways of thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stockholm was the best place to study an architecture masters. The atmosphere of openness and excitement at the school made it the perfect place to imagine and create. That atmosphere is what I\u2019ll miss most. The tutors that are open and accepting of any ideas you want to explore and the students that are free enough to think creatively and motivated enough to pull off fantastic work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I met so many funny, intelligent, talented friends in Stockholm and although I am sad to leave them, I\u2019m excited at the idea of catching up with them someday and sharing good times again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2022\/09\/20.jpg?resize=1024%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"View from Skinnerviksberget\" class=\"wp-image-7114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2022\/09\/20.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2022\/09\/20.jpg?resize=748%2C468&amp;ssl=1 748w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2022\/09\/20.jpg?resize=768%2C480&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, I\u2019ve said my goodbyes to Sweden and have started a position as a graduate architect, designing new pieces of Dublin City. My time at KTH has encouraged me to keep my horizons wide though. I\u2019ve really enjoyed the international perspective in the school and I\u2019m looking forward to keeping this in the years to come. Who knows? Maybe one day I\u2019ll be back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for following along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~ Declan<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time has come for myself, Valerie and Claire to finish up, we\u2019ve really enjoyed writing blogs for you!
