Take it from a woman in her mid 40ies that has lived in too many countries… you will be drawn to whichever place will help you grow in that phase of your life. One place might make your introverted self be forced to be more outgoing, another place might force you to take a deep breath and slow down your life’s pace, the next might make you question your core beliefs and values. Learn from each experience, take notes. Most importantly, stay humble and be grateful for even having such opportunities/freedom of choice. ❤

I am from California and been in Ireland for 2 years. I feel the exact same way, point for point. There is so much beauty in Ireland but it is not for me long term.

I'm Irish and they are the same reasons that I decided to move to Spain. In particular, the Mediterranean climate and being able to do things outside has had a massive difference on my physical and mental health.

Being honest about it, Ireland can be a wet, cold, damp and overcast place for a lot of the year. This does affect a lot of people mentally, you feel lethargic and not wanting to do stuff. I'm just surprised that people don't realise this before they come, they haven't done their research.. Housing is massively expensive in Ireland and you'll be working for the landlord to a large extent, that's the fact of the matter. Just my thoughts as an Irish person..

You've summed it up in one line- there is no perfect place. You don't get everything, no matter where you go in this world. There will always be some sacrifices or some drawbacks.

I have been here for 2 years and I feel every word. I lived in 6 countries and joined my partner, thinking I'd settle in Ireland, but decided I'd look elsewhere. Yes, the people here are nice, but you won't make friends with the locals. If you don't live in Dublin, life can be pretty boring. I live in Cork and unless you're in the pub drinking, there isn't much to do. I don't agree with people repeating " you have to find happiness within you", while this is true, living in a country that offers entrainment helps a lot. Having the sunshine and being able to go out for long walks or hike in the mountains without being completely soaked is also a quality of life. I have only lived in big cities before moving to Cork and I can really feel the difference. Now I need to rely on my vitamin D pills otherwise I fall into depression and my quality of life has incredibly declined. I'm grateful for the great work opportunity I have here, but I am already planning on moving. I find that people who grew up in smaller cities or like isolated places are the ones that tend to stay longer here.

Great video! I literally feel the same, been in Ireland back in 2012 for 6 months only and then the UK in 2014. On November 22 I will be leaving the UK for the fourth time as I understood that my place is not really here. The cost of living is ridiculous and you get nothing back so I decided to go back home to Romania where I have all of my loved ones, and my warm cozy big, and full-of-light flat, I have access to remote jobs and am overall financially more stable. It's perfectly understandable how you feel as I was and still am in the same situation and looking forward to seeing what your next journey will bring. Kisses & hugs xoxo

Hi Ana Maria. I just saw your video and I can totally relate to you. I came here for postgraduate studies and now I am contemplating every single point you mentioned for months. It is only holding me as I want to make sure I give myself a valid point and that there are no regrets in future if I move out of here. Kudos to you on the best of your journey here in Ireland and good luck ahead!

Met a Brazilian guy in Dublin who said he loved Ireland due to the safety from crime and poisonous animals. when I mentioned the weather he said it was easier to stay warm in Ireland than to keep cool in Brazil. You need to join a dance class and make more friends.

Our environment is the most important choice we can make , the people we surround ourselves with, the books we read , wishing you the best ❤

Ana-Maria, I urge you not to listen to those who are in agreement with you in the comments here: they can only teach you how to feel depressed. It is incredibly easy to feel extremely happy and full of energy every single day - but you cannot live in the manner that most people do. It is also extremely easy to be more physically beautiful at 40 years of age than at 25. Firstly, what you are doing wrong: you are seeking very regular novelty and excitement - which is to say, shots of dopamine - from external sources, such as environment, social activity, and food. All this does is flood your dopamine receptors, making it impossible thereafter to feel pleasure in any of the little things in life; hence leaving you feeling depressed. We evolved to live in much simpler natural environments. Your goals in life thus far have all been too externally focused. The only goal that matters in life is that of internally-created happiness - 100% an internal creation. Secondly, there are non-negotiable rules for how to be physically healthy in life. Most importantly, you can never ever eat any sugar: it is disgusting for health. This includes fruit except for kiwis, lemons, and berries; you should never drink fruit juice. You must make vegetables - kale, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots - the most important part of your diet. At the beginning, this will taste very boring and bland due to the fact that you have trained yourself to chase dopamine shots. After a while, however, vegetables alone will begin to taste wonderful. The only meat you need for protein is chicken fillet - 150 grams per day. As regards the nightlife you seek, this is incompatible with healthy living: if you stay out late - or, even worse, eat - at night, your health by the time you are 40 will be like that of the majority of people; which is to say, terrible. You should be in bed by 10:30 every night, having turned out your lights (for yoga and meditation) at least 30 minutes beforehand. Jumping straight out of bed at 7:00 the next morning, the absolutely most important thing to do in life - within an hour of waking - is to get outside for a short (or long, if time allows) walk for the purpose of getting sunlight into your eyes: it is crucial to set your circadian rhythm in this way every single day. As regards the warm sunny climate in some other European countries like Spain, it can be horrible in the summer; and in places like the Canary Islands, the air quality is disastrously unhealthy on a very frequent basis due to dust from the Sahara Desert. Ireland has amongst the best air quality in the world; and a cultural backdrop that is peaceful, and populated by arguably the friendliest people in the world. You just need to know how to live astutely. Happiness and health are all about your internal management of your own neurochemicals, and your taking responsibility for scrupulously shaping your own internal perception of reality in every moment. I wish you healthy and beauty, Ana-Maria, for countless decades to come. - Robert

Thank you for this video. I understand what you mean. And it's nice to hear someone say all those things out loud. Ireland is a beautiful country. But after living here for 1.5 years I find myself in a similar place to you. I come from a very big city and it's difficult to get used to the weather and lack of entertainment, especially outside of bigger cities. I can't wait to hear where you end up! 😊 you can always come back - for now definitely explore!

You cracked me up at your description of living with other people 😂 But I can understand, the greatest mental health improvement I had was when I decided to live alone. The sense of control and privacy I had was just priceless. Home felt more like a safe space than a war zone...

Hi Ana Maria, you currently remind me a lot of myself. Dealing with our internal world can be quite hard sometimes. I hope you can get through, overcome and find joy again somewhere, wherever. ❤️

I watched your videos and this one just as my family and I are making a decision to leave Thailand back to Europe and we’ve decided on Ireland this time. Your video may sound negative to some but to me it’s a great reminder of the things that might affect me too. My body loves the heat due to my long term illness but I personally hate feeling sweaty as soon as I wake up until I go to bed. I come from one of the world’s most expensive country in the world and believe it or not, it’s still cheaper than Ireland. Due to my children, we are embarking on this journey. Thank you for your insights into living in Eire. Much blessings to you.

I really appreciate that you disclaim that this is your personal preference. I like that you are self aware enough to realise this isn't the life you want and choosing to make appropriate arrangements for the life you want to live

You are in a similar position to I was. I left Ireland for Belarus back in early 2015 and have never looked back. I lived in Dublin for 8 years in the rat race and got fed up of it. Maybe I will move on but I think you have made the right decision. A change of scenery is good.

I grew up in Ireland but now live in USA. The weather is a huge factor in Ireland. I don’t think people realize how much it effects everything from mood to lifestyle...Very good video 👏

You have your whole life in front of you and I wish you all the best in your future life

I am 32, have lived in Ireland since 2017, living with my partner but I feel exactly the same like you. I realised even when I am kinda settling down and about to build a family, I still feel the conditions in this country (climate, lack of entertainment, lack of ambition) that make you feel depressed. I feel related to every word you said in this video as I used to be the same: always active, always wanting to improve and challenge myself. This country is just not the right place for us. All the best to your next journey and wish you find your happiness and purpose back. Looking forward to how life in the new place turns out with you!

I am very curious to watch your next few videos on where you might be looking to move to as I'm almost in the same boat as you right now in my life and just thinking about making a change while knowing change would be good. I guess at least it doesn't have to be right now in this moment you can plan it and look forward to having that change like having the one way flight booked for next year or something. Australia or Canada for me sounds good because they are English speaking countries but both seem so far away from home though people that moved over seem happy with their decision.

To be honest you are definitely suffering from loneliness and not sure about settling down yet I think problem is not Ireland

Hi, OMG, I feel for you, I've always loved your channel, you are normally so bright and cheerful that I found this video so hard to watch. You are great though, fair play to you for dealing with this issue head on and that you're going to do something about it. Yes, you are very beautiful but I always thought that it was your personality and positivity that were your most beautiful traits. I think it's easier for native people to stay and be satisfied and content because our lives, our family is here. I agree with you about the negatives of this country though and sometimes it takes someone outside to point these out. I hope you enjoy your new life wherever that takes you, I too travelled the world in my twenties and but for family probably would have built an entirely different life. We all get depressed from time to time it's life but it shouldn't last more than a day or two and the Season is upon us now which makes it more prevalent too. I love watching your channel and will continue to whether you are in Dublin or Dubai. 🌻🌻🌻

i started following you in 2020, and now i am in Ireland, and i thought to connect with you but you are leaving .. its not fair.. after watching your this video.. i fully agree with all your points.. please start following any spiritual discourse and it will help you overcome and pass current difficulty and give strength in these difficult times. hope you get good life ahead. watching your vlogs were fresh breath of air, keep continue the good work.

It’s amazing how such a different country can be so similar to the US. My girlfriend and I visited Ireland in July. It seemed like a different world. But to find out that the costs of living and low salaries are the same problems we have here. We have a lot of luxuries in the US, but the congested cities, terrible political divisions, cultural instability, and various social problems make this country a bit irritating. Out of the blue my girlfriend has decided to move out with her kids and not date, so I’m back to trying to live on my own. I work as a nurse and make 4400 USD a month, but rent alone is about 1500-2100 for anything decent. Throw in the car, food, utilities, and unexpected expenses, I’ll be forced to work overtime to stay afloat. 😭

This video is so relatable. You pretty much vocalised my deepest opinions about living in Ireland. I think the for the price things are … the quality isn’t up to the mark.

Good luck wherever you are Ana. You are very brave to venture out and find your happiness. I'm looking forward to more of your videos and also interested to hear what your personal reasons for leaving Ireland were

Thank you for your video 🙂 I wish you to find what you want.

Ana, we will miss you here in Ireland. Change is alway good 👍 Wish you all the best in your life & new place 💚

Hi. I watched your video before moving to Ireland and I could not understand these reasons. And after living here for 1 year I finally got it (before I lived in Poland for 3 years).

Leaving Ireland for Canada was the best move I ever made. I miss my family like crazy, but I felt stagnant there. Trapped almost. I did not mind the weather because it's all I knew. Other than the winter months, the weather is beautiful here in BC. There's so much diversity here and there's always something to do. If possible, try to travel and spend some time in a place you're considering. However, do not just focus the hot spots. Rather, the area you are considering and try to really get a feel for it. Ireland may be where I'm from, but Canada feels like home. If you feel these ways, Ireland is not for you. When you've found where you're meant to be, you will feel it.

Thank you for sharing your experience, every decision is difficult. "You are the only representative of your dream on earth" good luck

its nice to see you talking your heart out thanks for sharing

To be honest what concerns a purpose of life as well as a passive lifestyle I'd say that it's a common situation when you're in a country which is not your cup of tea. As an example I'm Latvian and live in Poland right now. Neither Polish culture nor Polish language nor overall atmosphere is something I like about this country. Unfortunately, there is a mismatch in place and I'm thinking about other countries. So I've exactly the same feelings as you though in another country. So I wouldn't say it's an Irish specific but rather the case when country is not for you.

Hi, Ana Always support and encourage your efforts for better future and life style. Best of luck for your next move. Wherever, you live in the world, support you. Best wishes.

Life is what you make it, but don’t burn bridges. Me and my family lived in Singapore for 10 years and moved here in Ireland 6 months ago. It’s a big leap from fast paced to lay back but I’am glad my kids love being here and me personally love my peace of mind here. Anyway, you still very young, find something to your heart’s content. Good luck to your future endeavour.

Woow, whatever you have said and mentioned in this video are all 100% true, I think exactly just like you, each 2 or 3 months i have to go to Portugal (Albufeira) for couple of days to make myself better and come back to Dublin again. BUT also looking at this from a different angle, lots of people from developing countries/3rd world wish they were in your place due to safety and good salary.

Been living in Ireland for 6 months and these are the exact reasons why the whole family doesn't like it. Ireland is a great country for some people but it is just too small and rural for the the life I want to live. I will definitely be moving to London as soon as I finish school

If you get an Irish passport you can emigrate to Australia Canada or New Zealand easily.. good weather outdoor lifestyle etc

You're such a pure person. So lovely. It's sad to hear that you've been through a slump where you can't get out of bed. I've developed that in my early 40's and have just got a new job and am near to completing prep for a long-worked on business I'll be launching and I'm now making plans to wake up early and go at it all day, all my goals and the things that need to be done will now be done. I work superhard for other people and I thought the last few days, if I worked than hard on my own life and responsible I'll be able to create my dream life. I'm sure you're out of that slump now. You clearly have great things on the horizon as you continue to grow on your journey.

Anyone else here not from Ireland or thinking of coming when you get here join a walking group, hill walking group, running group, any sporting club especially the GAA where you will be accepted for really getting to the heart of Irish culture you will make lots of friends and you will be motivated to keep fit and lose the belly ,no one comes to Ireland for the sunshine but Ireland has a very mild climate its never too hot or too cold and it's green all year round ,plenty of Irish cultural things to do like music ,dance the GAA festival mostly in the summer, don't come to Ireland and expect it to be like France or Moldova with French culture 😉

I can relate to almost every single word of your story. I decided to become a digital nomad, and it was not a perfect fix, but it definitely helped 👌🏻. Hope you find purpose and meaning soon!

Hello! I'm sure you're gonna be successful, I feel you're brilliant. You look great exactly the way you are now. Be healthy is more important than the perfect body promoted by advertisements. Just promise that you won't leave KZfaq, it's the only way I enjoy the experiences and personality you share to me. I love them. Big hug!

OMG, you exactly described the same issues that I actually am facing in Ireland. Exactly same point by point. Very nicely explained and expressed though. So any other options in Europe, whether we can get good climate throughout the year, can style and wear anything what we like, also job opportunities so that lifestyle will not be affected, No housing crisis, or depressing boring life ?

I grew up in Ireland and I now live in the UK. In Ireland unless you have close, reliable and supportive family life there can be very difficult. Also the weather there is pretty awful.

I encourage you to follow your desires❤ I am 25 years old as well, and I am thinking of beginning a bachelor degree in fashion design after 6 years in law school. We are the only ones who can frame our lives.

You handle the hate comments brilliantly, fair play to you 😊

Making the decision and taking the jump is the scary part. Congrats on not letting the fear stop you.

I've been in Ireland for 8 years now, and every night I cry, cry, cry.. No friends, no social life, no savings, no proper health care, ultra nationalists everywhere, I feel always marked as a foreigner. I feel so lonely. I have been trying to move out but failed drastically. However, I'm still trying! 😭

I'm suprised you lasted as long as you did in Ireland, being such a free spirt. I always tell people it rains 3 times a year in Eire, 4 months at a time😅 Best of luck with your travels and keep up the good work👍

You have exhausted yourself. Feeling how you feel makes you constantly questioning your actions. You're pushing hard to keep going. Which eats up a lot of courage. The worst thing? You have been on a high and the way down feels weird because something is missing. Some may call it rewards for your ambitions. I don't call it anything because I can't speak for you. But I know the place you're at. Because I am the same. So I had to learn to take mental health breaks and to be ok with it. I wish you all the best on your way!

do some outdoor sport. i can recommend cycling or running. it's never boring. btw. today is my 20 year anniversary in ireland. came here for work...

There are ups and downs in the real estate market but over 10-20 years you will generally go through an up cycle to where you realize a significant increase in equity. If you had bought instead of renting when you arrived 6 years ago and sold now you would have paid off part of the principal and your equity would have grown and you would have more in your pocket when leaving ireland. Real estate is a long term investment but the idea that you have to live in the house for 40 years is not realistic.

best of luck with whatever u do in the future, when u said at start of your video that you feel like wanting to stay in bed, thats actually a small sign of depression kicking in, so maybe its good that you choose to leave ireland & start fresh elsewhere before things got worse, just remember dont be afraid to talk to someone, and hopefully we'll see u back in ireland one day,

Divorce rate in Ireland is not one in two, it is quite low by comparsion with other countries.

Can see some points but.... Cold in july with a jacket on??? Avg temp in Dublin for july is 19°C.... Any recent blood analysis? You probably are VERY low on D Vitamin. That deficiency causes depression. Scandinavians are one of the happiest people in Europe and their weather is much worse. Remember the scandinavian adage: there's no bad weather, just inapropiate clothing. Moldavia where you're from gets much colder in the winter. There are no mountains to ski but ever thought about taking up surfing, sailing or something like that?

Best of luck on your next adventure, Ana. You'll do great wherever you go as you're very clear on what your values are. Such a shame we didn't get the chance to meet up though. Who knows, maybe in the future somehow 😊

I can honesty say moving to Ireland is the best decision i ever made. There are pros and cons wherever you go, you must realise you will NEVER find a perfect place or partner. To pursue this goal is a wasted life dont do it!!!!!! As wise old couple once said in our day if something broke we fixed it, today we throw it away.

We support you. Where ever you are. From Philippines 🇵🇭

Oh my love , do what you want

Thinking about your problem with body positivity, I wanted to ask what is your opinion on someone being influenced by their surroundings rather than their own views of what is good for them; I'm wondering how the culture influences your own personal view about how you and your body should be, and how is it bad for you to live in a place that is not driven by the same ideas you have of right and wrong. Anyway I hope this isn't seen as a hate comment but more of a philosophical query. Thanks and great video! Very honest!

9:35 keep up with the channel dont fall into bad habits this channel has been a blessing and a source of motivation to many

I 100% agree with the toxic positivity. It's unhealthy to accept being overweight

World is going to change so much en following years, well it's changed dramatically nowadays. We've big issues related: global warming, lack of resources like pick oil, coal, gas, chips, in mining industry, etc. And finally end of this economic system. So I think it's been not a very good idea buying a property and being tied for 30 or 40 years like you said. You looks a very nice young woman be happy and prepare yourself for a world very different in next years and decades. I have seen some of your previous videos. I've liked in Ireland too and known well the country, people, lifestyle. You are from east of Europe, obviously things are not easy. Again, very good luck in life I hope you have a long and happy life.

Let's have a coffee at the spire before u go!,, hope to see u soon in Ireland thanks for ur videos so far we will miss u

I am Irish and have lived abroad most of my life, New York, London & Europe. I’m always happy to come back to Dublin, Ireland. I love cycling in the summertime and most evenings cycle along the coastline (20 miles) and have a beach walk, this is something you cannot do in other countries or cities that I have lived in. Ireland can seem dull, but if you leave and come back you will appreciate what you have left behind ie: sea air, good people, stable life. I agree with you regarding the taxation which is one of the reasons i don’t live in Ireland right now. I’m happy for you that you seem to have squeezed as much as you can out of Ireland and now feel ready to move on. As an Irish person travelling abroad I don't feel as comfortable living in other countries as you seem to be living in Ireland as in I always felt like an outsider. It's only when you live abroad that you appreciate 'Irish hospitality'. Irish people are the best, they have manners and are the friendliest people. I live in London and people can be rude, i'm also afraid to go out walking in the broad daylight due to crime and stabbings. I think if your unhappy in Ireland you will also be unhappy if you move. Your happiness starts from within and when you are truly happy you will find happiness anywhere. Also no money or job or material possessions will bring happiness, you'll learn that with experience. Stability is good, you can live in ireland and holiday abroad if you want variety. Be grateful for what you have, its the simple things in life that really bring happiness

Hi Anna. I always thought that Dublin was a small place for you.. Have you ever thought about living in Paris or even Warsaw.

May be try to apply for the citizenship before you make the move . Life now is easy for you , job not really challegence, work life balance and also you dont engage to someone. You could go to the Us or Singapore , Korea wherr people work hard and playhard to challenge yourself . Working permit and finding a job there will keep you busy

I know a few people that went to Canada, the life style seems way better there. There's a place to look into, thinking about it myself with the state Ireland is in, getting way too expensive.

I am considering to move to Ireland or Germany or Netherlands. Can you please advise me that which country i should go, i am very much confuse to decide. What's your opinion? I am EU citizen Portuguese

Isn't it colder in your homeland?

It's amazing to me that you went to Ireland in the first place or that you made it as long as you did. You definitely don't have any Irish qualities to you at all. You might come to realize that the shortcomings you see outside of yourself are actually within...

Tough video to make I would say Ana and the emotions definitely were felt through this video as I am sure other subscribers would agree. When you know of a different aspect in life it always makes you think of your current situation. When you have no ties or responsibility to something or somewhere and it brings you unhappiness or lack of positivity then it is time to change. You are young and their is no time like the present to go for it. Best of luck with your new adventures and know their is always some sort of craic going on if you ever decide to visit or return with open arms 😉

Wow! Coming from Brazil to The Netherlands I feel about the same here. Sweden felt the same. And really bad health care that's not cheap and require a lot of effort while I was, at least in Brazil, used to make a phone call and see a doctor the next day, or go to the ER if I felt sick without having to be dying (and seen by a nurse in 10 min and a doctor in 30). I don't know about Ireland but the Dutch don't have preventive care or medicine designed to make people healthy and happy beyond just surviving and accepting "minor issues" as if they weren't important to our well being. I am glad it's affordable here in NL, but it lacks and even the Dutch joke about it, sadly, but they don't fix it. 😬 Housing is quite expensive in The Netherlands if you don't get social housing as well. It's affordable otherwise.

you broadcasted a new video about receiving your irish passport no more than 6 months. have you let ireland or not yet? if not what s your reson to stay than why did u change mind??

Hardest part is making the decision 👏 . Will look forward to your future success 😉

Ireland is not an airport so you don’t have to announce your departure.

I will be leaving Ireland in 2 months and I will never come back ever again. I spent over 16 years in Ireland not by personal choice though. I am not into the drinking culture in Ireland and everything is too expensive. I will be going to the Philippines in two months to see my girlfriend and I will live there.

Seen rest of video huge problem accommodation , ye everyone needs their own space , thats going to impact your whole life etc

Agree with you! 🇮🇪 After 2 and a half years, I've decided to move from Ireland. 🌧️ The weather, the people, and the work-life balance are all very poor. #MovingOn #NewAdventures

Life is a vale of tears, no matter where u go.Thats life.U are in this world not of this world.Your home is in Heaven.Just strugal on as best u can and keep.in touch with your family. A good prayer which works is ///// Lord I reject the deval, be first in my life and let me have a very good time, which you came to give me. We all have had a very bad time but now we are starting to come out of it, and things begin to look brighter. You are a good looking girl,and I pray thing go well for you.God Bless.

Sorry to see you leaving us, but you are welcome back anytime

Yeah I left when I was 18 for the UK but Im in Spain now and honestly the bad weather and more indoor lifestyle is a big minus.

Be the change you wish to see in the world!

Where is Ana Maria now.

Thank you for underscoring EVERY SINGLE reason why I WANT to move to Ireland, lol!

During the tyranny years a lot of people need the peace and positives now and Ireland has gotten harder and harder to live a content life. I've always wanted a warmer climate long term but the corruption makes it more urgent all the time

Hi Anna! A fellow vlogger here. Honestly, I can relate to many of the things you say over here. If you are ambitious, Ireland is not the right place for you. I have lived in Dublin, Cork, and Galway in my 4 years of stay in Ireland. Maybe Dublin is a bit more happening than Galway. However, life in Galway is very slow. There aren't many events related to entrepreneurship or new technology in Ireland. Honestly, a lot of Tier II and Tier III cities in India (like Chandigarh, Gangtok, Pune, Indore, and Bhubaneswar) are way more happening and open than cities in Ireland. I am in the same boat as you.

l hear you about that apartment for 30 years, it's crazy.

Hi Ana Maria! Did you make a decision where to go? There will never be ideal place without cons and especially these times economy, inflation, corruption, wars made impact on all coubtries, but if you find a place you like and enjoy to be, why not? If climate is also a major factor, then I think it would be better to try Portugal, Spain, south of France and Italy. Not sure how about big job opportunities and good salaries there.

Appreciate your honesty. In my 20’s would never dream of moving to a place like Ireland. I was looking for the same things you were looking for and I enjoyed my life. City,fast life ,excitement. And there absolutely nothing wrong with that . End of my 20s got married and had children. Suddenly I didn’t enjoy what I enjoyed in my 20s. Happy building my family. By 35,I just wanted somewhere safe to be and had burn out from my work. When Covid hit,I took some time off for a couple of years,spent time with my parents who are aging,and suddenly I wanted to just be in a safe,healthy environment for my kids. I come from a country with beautiful weather,but no peace of mind. Now I am 40 and I don’t care about a lot of things I wanted in my 20s. Directly opposite. So I recently got an offer to live in Dublin,and I took the offer. Will be relocating to Dublin in your summer. The point is. Our life view points change as we grow older despite being the same person,and there is nothing wrong with that. Right now I enjoy my family and being safe and secure is more important. I am a father that laughs at silly things my kids do,and just want a mandane existence. It’s weird. I was never like that. So,don’t worry, just be true to yourself and what your internal dialogue is. Change is inevitable in different ways for different people. I wish you the best,and live your life the way you see fit. You are young. You are doing the right thing by experiencing as much as you can while you can. Godspeed !

3:50 u can always rent out ur apartment/house and pay the mortgage via rent no need to be stuck in the same place for 40 years or with a partner com on be optimistic ur marriage will last ages i bet u r a very productive person as far as i have followed u from ur videos

Thank you for all the information that you have shared!

Just to clarify divorce rate in Ireland is not 50% - its 0.6% one of lowest in world

Interesting video. Which country / town did you move to?

I left Ireland as soon as I could, it's a depressing country to live in. Only like to go back and visit then get out again

Wow, no wonder you feel stressful. The way you speak ( really fast and agitated), and the way you feeling about living in a country that you don’t belong, it must be so difficult for you. I think the best place to be right now is with your family. I was feeling exact the same. I am Canadian and I felt really lonely and depressed . I wanted a house as well but, unfortunately with my salary and the cost of living was extremely difficult to achieve my goal. I am living with my parents abroad and I don’t feel better, The problem still there and now I am not working. My advise, take your time and think about how can you achieve your goals. Good luck with your journey.Take care of your mental health

In these types of videos, I often see countries being described in terms of: if you drink, you'll fit in, if you like clubs, etc. Is there a country for introverts? 😅 That is more Christians than introverts because I'm not interested in drinking or going out to night clubs and similar things.But even though I'm an introvert, I wouldn't want to be completely alone either. Some place where I would be surrounded by nature, where I could go hiking (with new friends), get a dog and go for a walk with him, do such activities in general. That the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. I live (and always lived) in a city, even a small city and I hate it! I long for nature and a climate where it's not nearly 40°C in the summer, but it's not always cloudy and dark either, because it kills me mentally. I can hardly stand our "normal" winters where it gets dark at 4-5 in the afternoon. I guess I'm looking more for the country side, but not completely cut off from social life and where the only option to get closer is to drink. Church, hiking, walking, picnic.. Is there such a country? 😅 If someone is willing to write, feel free to describe the country where you live. I would love to hear that 🙂

After listening to you one thing is sure u r clear about Ireland. Try Australia it's bright and sunny and like a rainbow. Tax and expenses are there almost everywhere. so try Australia. Or else free of tax look for the middle east like Dubai. U might like it , it's a very fast moving life and very bright. ( Thou it's very sweltering hot) but everywhere air conditioning is available.

I think you are a lovely person who is very intelligent and very talented. You have a wonderful future wherever you may go. You could study at university (you are still very, very young) because you have that talent; though you could also do whatever you desire. I wish you the best wherever you may go. I see in your eyes that you are a very good person.
