Intro Blog


 Hi, my name is Owen Rose Moore!

I am 20 years old, I live in Rochester NY but am originally from Seattle Washington. I am the oldest of two, my brother Julian is 15 and we are super close. My major is fashion merchandising so I am taking this class along with the fashion FSAT class. I love shopping, hanging out with friends and family, listening to music, working out, and napping. Currently I am in the process of building my own business “O’s Clothes” where I buy and sell second hand and vintage clothing. Right now I am mainly selling at a small flea market in Rochester called the Lucky Flea, however, the Mercyhurst fashion department is letting me host a pop-up at the end of the month. I am really excited for this trip for many reasons. Last semester was a really rough period for me so I feel like traveling is going to be good for me. My parents have been to England, Ireland, and Scotland both together and separately so they’ve told me all about their stories. I hope this trip leaves me with some of my own stories.

Dublin Blog

  The final stop in this wonderful excursion was Dublin. As someone who is very Irish and grew up raised with a lot exposure to Irish heritage I was super excited for this stop.   Even though we didn’t get to spend a whole lot of time in Dublin I was still able to experience at lot of things.  On our last night in Dublin, my friends and I went to the famous Temple Bar. Unfortunately it was incredibly packed and hard to move around and enjoy ourselves. After taking some photos of the exterior, we moved on to a LGTBQ+ bar down the street called The George. We had a lot fun here and the music and people were wonderful.  The next day was our travel day back to the states. Even though it was sad, we were all happy to get home to our own beds and incredibly grateful for the amazing time we had.

  London was our next stop and my person favorite location we visited. (There’s a good chance I’ll be moving here after school). Even though I loved the whole city I did have some highlights.   Our first afternoon in London after our long train ride was spent in soho. The maze of tiny streets and shops/restaurants stacked on top of each other was memorizing. My friends and I stopped at an all vegan restaurant. The food was amazing and the view from the third floor of the restaurant was beautiful. I order the vegan pulled “pork” sandwich which blew me away.  The next day we visited the Tower of London, however a friend and I left a bit early to check out portabella road the portabella market. We found tons of cute little vintage/thrift and antique shops. After some shopping, we stopped by a small gelato shop for a snack.  During ou    r free day, we visited Abbey Road, where many photos were taken. After our photo shoot, we headed over to the spitlefields ma...

General Reflections Blog #2

      As our trip grows closer and our time in this class comes to an end, I am sad yet excited at the same time. This class has been incredibly interesting and I have been able to learn so much in such a short amount of time. When I was a child my father would always read a book based in the location of where ever our family would be vacationing. I like to think of this class in similar sense as his ritual, as we really immersed ourselves in the historical literature of Europe.      I think this class has been a great advantage, especially for those (like myself) who have not yet had the chance to travel to Europe. This class has educated us on the history of the places we are visiting so when we go there we aren’t just tourists, but rather admires of the country, hoping to learn more. It is almost like studying and reading up for a test before taking it. We are educating ourselves so we don’t walk into this new place without any background.    ...
