Living the Dream: This is Nadir’s Story

Zach Michonski | March 12, 2015

If you grew up close to the water then the ocean probably doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. Chances are you made regular trips to the beach each summer. But for Nadir, experiencing the ocean while riding along the coast of Ireland wasn’t just a big deal—it was a first. This past summer, Nadir, who grew up in Chicago, traveled with EF. After exploring Dublin and enjoying its upbeat metropolitan “craic,” his group made their way towards the coast. It was there that he not only first saw the Atlantic Ocean, but also stepped foot into the ocean for the first time in his life.
