About William
Hi, I’m William—an American who moved to Ireland and now calls Galway home.
I created Galway Student Guide to share the practical advice I wish I’d had when I arrived, especially for international students making a home in a new country. From finding a room and avoiding scams to understanding buses, shopping on a budget and finding a good music session, it’s built around everyday questions that can be surprisingly hard to answer.
The guide is free to use. If it’s helped you feel more prepared—or a little more at home—you can buy me a coffee to support the time I put into researching, writing and keeping it updated.
Thanks for helping me make arriving in Galway a little easier for the next person.

…and Ciara, my miniature schnauzer and local food scout.
