My name is Clare Konen, and I was born and raised in Montana with a huge family. I did not have many traveling opportunities until the Irish Life Experience of 2023.

Other than the perfect camping spot on a river, Ireland became one of my safe spaces, and I cannot wait to return with all these wonderful people and meet the 2025 Irish Life Experience students!
