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.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
Ireland is great for sure, but I think because we experienced a completely different lifestyle, we find it difficult to adjust to a much more indoor and quiet life
Aye it's shite
I was in California I loved 🥰
Ireland is going down the tubes like this lady said if you're an introvert tech nerd who likes the cold it's possibly ideal 🤣
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.
Yes
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.
Thanks a lot for sharing your story. I really appreciate to know that it wasn't only me going through this.
Ireland is indeed a beautiful country worth visiting and I am very thankful from thr bottom of my heart that it offered me so many opportunities in life. However, I felt that the lifestyle absolutely didn't suit me.
I am so much happier now to live a much more active lifestyle 🙌
Best of luck to you 🍀🤞 I am sure that anywhere you go, you will create a great life for yourself
@@AMEditionYT so you finally listened to my honest advice ana maria - congratulations !!!! Listen less to your fears and more to your dreams.
@@patricksweeney5308 ana maria talks about herself and how things affect her personally. I wish her well in her decision. If you try to understand her she has been given quite a fearful upbringing so she has actually overcome quite alot of her fears. I congratulate her on her achievements. I used to write a critique but now I think its important to be kind to everybody.
@@patricksweeney5308 wow so many assumptions and such an elaborate opinion you have formed of me just from just my last name. I am VERY WELL travelled and I don't practice Islam (not sure what this has to do with anything). I lived in South America, in Russia and in Hong Kong for over 12 years, I have friends from all over and I work in one of the biggest multinationals here, but my opinion is still the same. I find Ireland great for work, but it suits more people who want either a very quiet life in the countryside or as she said people who love drinking in pubs, but you can only do this for so many night before it gets too repetitive. Also not sure where you got from my comment that I am acting as if the Irish have a contagious disease, most of the Irish I know are very friendly. The feelings of the girl in the video are very valid, not all countries are suitable for all people and she should find place where she feels happy and I am doing the same.
@@Marwa_SM I'm from Cork and I currently live in Cork as well, and I AGREE WITH THE POINTS YOU MADE. It really is true that the lack of sunshine here greatly limits a person's quality of life, what with the inability to enjoy being outside for long without getting soaked, as well as how depressing it actually can be. It's the truth. The winters here are miserable and too long, and the summers are lacklustre and too short. Even today, on May 11th 2023, there's still the usual wall of dense cloud outside and below-average temperatures.
It's also true about how there isn't much to do here if you aren't interested in drinking in pubs. I don't drink alcohol (which makes me a social pariah here!), and I'm largely uninterested in pubs, unless I'm eating or attending a gig in them. So I have to be creative and figure out alternative ways to entertain myself. I think I probably cope better than the average person because of my more introspective nature. Still, human beings are not designed to live their lives indoors... It makes me laugh how playing GAA (hurling/camogie or Gaelic football) is widely promoted in Ireland as being an appealing physical activity for *everyone* -- even the GAA's slogan is "Where We ALL Belong." 🤣🤣 Not if you prefer doing other physical activities instead!
You're also correct that people in Ireland are friendly, but that doesn't equate to them ever being your actual friend per se. I constantly see this as a native person! Most people in this country tend to create and build friendships in either early childhood, during their formative school years, or in their college years. Socially, they don't venture beyond these established friendship circles in the workplace or on the nightlife scene... Then, of course, you have the stratospherically high cost of living in this country. Perhaps it would be more acceptable somehow if there was a warm, sunny climate here, but nope... I'm considering moving to a country with a Mediterranean climate, like the south of France, or maybe Croatia (they have hot, sunny summers). 🌞😎🌻🙂
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.
Absolutely 💯
It's just important to love the benefits of a place, and then we'll live with all the drawbacks
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! Thanks a lot for sharing.
I know many people can relate to us...
I’m with you with regard to the anxiety associated with the prospect of taking on house ownership in 2022 Ireland.
I’m Irish, my wife is Romanian and we’re also thinking of moving to Romania within the next couple of years. Starting a new job soon, planning to start building a house there after Christmas.
I have a good salary but finding it next to impossible to save for a deposit in Ireland with the ever increasing rent and prices in general.
The plan is to eventually work remotely and live a simple, but less stressful life in Romania.
We visit Romania in Summer and at Christmas every year and I love it there.
Romania este o țară frumoasă!
any recommendations for remote jobs ... im currently live in Drogheda area ... looking for stable financial job in order to cope up with current spike house rental etc
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.
Our environment is the most important choice we can make , the people we surround ourselves with, the books we read , wishing you the best ❤
Absolutely 💯
Thanks a mill 😊
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!
Thank sharing your experience as well))
I know it can be really hard to make a decision, but either decision will be good because you will make it good 😊
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 😊
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.
Hallelujah, some positivity at last 👏
@@joehill7837 Joe l am English and live in the uk. But even l am tired of foreign moan arses who moan about the weather yet came anyway to exploit the wealth of opportunities Ireland has to offer. My wife who is polish use to hear the moaning off some Polish people how crap they thought the uk was so she said if you do not like the country go somewhere else,we'll they soon shut up. This young woman is a narcissist. It's all about her. No one forced her too come to Ireland. Ireland is real for me because l have ancestry from there.
@@colinsmith1288 The problem with these Whingers is that they don't fit in, but instead of taking responsibility for this, they will blame everyone and everything else.
@@joehill7837 lreland is a beautiful country. It is green,moist,full of mountains,waterfalls,lakes and beautiful coastline. In the uk we had a very long dry summer and i
started missing the rain. Now it is here l am so glad. Too me she is so full of ingratitude and so in love with herself. Well mate they can all bugger off. My idea of hell is living in an arid country that is too hot and to much sunshine. Because of the rain Ireland grows great food,and makes great grub. She did not even bother to get herself a dog which would have made her life so much more exciting.
I'm Irish living in Spain.. Believe me four months of heat will kill all entusiasm you have for the sun!! Plus in the Mediterranean we have winter too... Live in Ireland and take a break around the beautiful ppl of Spain! It will make you more humble too 😉
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!
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience 😊 🙏 really appreciate it.
Ireland is a nice country, but I really felt I need to move on. And this was a point as well: that I can always come back if I don't like other places.
Take up surfing, sailing, golf, dancing classes, get a dog...why not?
@@agvgv9263 thanks for the suggestions
I really think it’s about where you are in your life (age wise) I’m older and love Ireland. Proper gear for weather 💚
@@JustJenny555Kinda agree. I moved in my late 20's after a lot of many experiences and big city life and even before had attitude that there is no bad weather only wrong clothing so it was a bit easier regards weather, had learned to keep active lifestyle no matter weather. Tho I live in smaller towns here, closer to nature so if Im not getting out is just my laziness (tho I agree in sunny weather mood and motivation is always better, higher).
But I think the way to live in any place is looking what it has to offer, and looking less at what it lacks...
My new activities in IE is hiking, surfing, golf, ocean life, campingp... learning about sports like hulring and rugby and as well about countries history and culture but not everything in short time, but slowly.
Of course, honesty having partner and some family is a reasons I moved here and is easier with them here.
I think Anna's arguments are really valid at young age, but maybe main thing is that country isn't as modern as other western places and some things can take really long because of too much burocracy and too little digitalizasion and slow technology adaptation in public sector. So it feels great as a tourist spend time in slow down environment or at more mature life when you live a life without so much speed and stress as you would elsewhere.
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.

Hi Sir, i think your POV is a very valid one, however, perhaps a little biased based on the point in life where you're at? Ana Maria is a young girl with her life ahead full of different opportunities, it's natural for her to look for other envirionments where she will feel more motivated and happier. When we're at points in life where things are fairly stable (house, country, partner, family, etc) then yes i agree with you that constantly looking for temporary source of happiness wont be sustainable and we need to learn to grow it within..
but as young as she is i feel we should we encourage her to go for these changes, because why not?
@@Vannessa1793 Gracias por tu respuesta, Vannessa. Yo diría que los jóvenes también son humanos. 90% de los jóvenes están muy infelices - muchos incluso considerando el suicido. Yo creo que tienen el derecho a aprender a ser felices de verdad: la experiencia de la vida es una construcción subjetiva dentro del cerebro; no se puede ni comprar ni encontrar en ningún parte exterior. Un abrazo. Robert
@@roberthanley si pero creo que es un poco injusto no apoyarla en su decisión simplemente porque creemos que la felicidad se debe construir desde adentro…
Yo si creo que el país y el ambiente que nos rodea influye muchísimo en nuestro estado de ánimo , y mas aún cuando se es jóven y nada te ata al lugar donde estas …
@@Vannessa1793 Por curiosidad, ¿en qué país estás tu?
@@roberthanley UK..
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. ❤️
Thank you 😊 💓
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. 🌻🌻🌻
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.
Thanks for all the support Manish 💖
@@AMEditionYT most welcome Ana
@@paulkinsella6536 thanks a lot for the suggestions 🥰
I know many people who love Ireland 🇮🇪 and I am really happy you feel great and found your soul place ❤️
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
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 😊 💓
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.
its nice to see you talking your heart out thanks for sharing
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
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,
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...
Thank you for your video 🙂 I wish you to find what you want.
Thank you 😊 💓
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!
Thank you for sharing your experience as well))
We have to take the best from what we currently have an enjoy the digital nomad life as long as you have this opportunity.
I hope to use my "remote work" opportunity soon as well
Thank you for sharing your experience, every decision is difficult. "You are the only representative of your dream on earth" good luck
🥰❤️
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience as well))
Appreciate it.
Certainly the quality has to go up as we pay a lot for everything.
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 👏
Then don't move to seattle
I have been living for 8 years.
I am sick and tired everything is too expensive people have changed thierselfves and this weather is so bad.
The last hurricane in the USA killed 100 people, you don't get those in Ireland, nor would you get snowed in every year. The Scandinavian countries get worse weather than Ireland and they always come top as the world's happiest nations.
I just don't see any logic in what you are implying. 🇮🇪
@@joehill7837 and i'm pretty sure with all the pickled herring they eat the farting problem she is complaining about would be worse
@@joehill7837 I would like to say something regarding this topic.
First
If you have never lived in Ireland before you cannot say and get her view.
I have lived in Ireland for 8 yrs. And I am a Pole.We had worse winter than Scandinavians.
Irish people hate this weather as well foreigners.
Irish weather is totally different than others.
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.
Thanks for sharing! Probably this really depends on what people need in their lives.
I never had safely ir salary issues and I consider that everything is possible in any country.
Also, can't say that the Irish salary is very high compared to the expenses. I found it to be pretty low
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.
Wow! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Have a great time in Ireland 🇮🇪 😀
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.
You have your whole life in front of you and I wish you all the best in your future life
Thank you 😊 💓
We support you. Where ever you are. From Philippines 🇵🇭
Thanks a lot for support 🙏 ❤️
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
If you get an Irish passport you can emigrate to Australia Canada or New Zealand easily.. good weather outdoor lifestyle etc
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).
Hi! Thanks for sharing your view. 😊
I know that we idealise life abroad until we actually experience it. There are certainly really good things abroad, but this change comes with plenty of drawback (as everywhere).
Can I ask where are you originally from?
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.
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👍
Ana, we will miss you here in Ireland. Change is alway good 👍 Wish you all the best in your life & new place 💚
Thanks a lot 🥰❤️
Hope we'll stay in touch!
@@AMEditionYT Good luck
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.
So you chose to live under a repressive dictatorship!!
Yeah like moving to the country with Europe’s last dictatorship
Many traktors over there?
You escaped before things got really crap
I left Scotland after 6 years too at 25... haha I just really wanted a change of environment and place, a new start in a new place. I can relate. Sounds similar.
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 RUclips, it's the only way I enjoy the experiences and personality you share to me. I love them.
Big hug!
Hi! Thanks a lot for the nice comment 🥰❤️
I will stay active on RUclips, just will focus on some other topics.
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!
Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing the way you feel as well.
I know it's hard to stay in a place which is too quiet and I felt like I couldn't do it anymore 💔
Me too I feel depressed here I was never like this I am definitely leaving Ireland it is horrible here everything
@@verarobinson6759 i feel you 💖
@@paulkinsella6536 who cares, as long as she goes back there
@@paulkinsella6536 California
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!
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.
So happy for you 💓 🤗 it's important to find a place which you enjoy living in))
For sure, we should never burn the bridges. Never know what life can bring.
Hardest part is making the decision 👏 .
Will look forward to your future success 😉
Yeah, that was definitely the hardest part 🙈🤯 I'll talk about this as well very soon.
Might be really useful for people in a similar situation
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...
Hi Anna. I always thought that Dublin was a small place for you.. Have you ever thought about living in Paris or even Warsaw.
Making the decision and taking the jump is the scary part. Congrats on not letting the fear stop you.
Totally agree 👍
The decision was the hardest part and we are usually afraid of the unknown.
Will talk more about making the decision in the next few videos 😊
Good luck Ana Marie. Let me know if you come to Seattle. Also, I have a cottage just east of Killarney and just visited there earlier this month.
Hi thanks for all the info. where are you moving to? :)
Interesting video. Which country / town did you move to?
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. 😭
That's because the high cost of living and the disproportionately low salaries are something of a global agenda, where western, developed countries are concerned at least. Clearly a lockstep agenda.
26:29 good luck looking forward to your future endeavours
You seem like an ideal candidate to join my sailing adventure from Ireland to tahiti. You need a major change ..sunshine and adventure.
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.
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.
Absolutely 💯
Totally agree and this is one of the best investments 👌
To be honest you are definitely suffering from loneliness and not sure about settling down yet I think problem is not Ireland
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 😉
Thanks a lot for all your support 🙏 and I'm waiting for you in Moldovushka 😁🙌🥰❤️
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 ?
What kind of issues are you facing, curious to know :)
I’ve lived in U.K., The Netherlands, Spain, Germany, France and Switzerland and my hubby came from Denmark. All I can tell you is that no where is perfect. There’s always something wrong everywhere. Spain is ‘cheap’ but lifestyle can be boring. The people are not as friendly and forthcoming as you think. The Netherlands has cheap food as a producer but the weather is just as wet and grey most of the year. Switzerland is amazing geographically and everything works but everything is super expensive. There’s pros and cons everywhere unfortunately. You need to write them down and figure out which is more important.
That's a shame, I hope you will come back to Ireland. I see so many lost people like yourself, and can't help wondering (unpopular as this statement will be). Would you ever consider getting married and submitting to your partner?
@@wolftrapman
Why should she? What's wrong with you?
Look I'm just offering an alternative way of looking at things. There is no perfect place to live, no perfect partner. I look at my mum and grandma, they had a life of suffering , sacrifice and compromise for the family ( both large familys). In the end they worked through and were very happy. Today we live in a world of the me and the I want.
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.
Oh my love , do what you want
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.
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
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊 best of luck to you in everything you do ))
It's hard to get into Britain/London, since Brexit. You may have to go illegally.
lived in London for 7 years and moved to ireland. Cant be more happier.
London weather is horrible even though it’s bigger than Dublin it’s pretty depressing and can be suffocating since so many people visit it like New York
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 lived in Canada for a year, about 15 years back. I suspect if she finds the Irish climate too inhibiting, then Canada would be a very rude awakening indeed. I still remember it being -35 a few times during the winter I spent there.
@@TheLastAngryMan01 Vancouver area is fine, though. BC.
@@psibrunojusto Weather-wise, sure. Very expensive though, maybe even more so than Ireland.
Seen rest of video huge problem accommodation , ye everyone needs their own space , thats going to impact your whole life etc
Unfortunately this is very tru
You handle the hate comments brilliantly, fair play to you 😊
💖 learned to stay focused on my life and I usually have fun reading hate comments 😃🤣🤣🤣 they can be really funny
Best of luck Ana
Thank you 😊 💓
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.
10:17 develop this goal of going to world tour and visiting new cultures once a year....see scenic beauties of different continents and enjoy ....
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 😉
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.
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.
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.
Thanks a lot 🙏 💓
Best of luck with the degree in fashion 🤞🍀
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.
12:32 dont worry you will always be beautiful.....wear whatever your heart desire ...or find a job in which you have to travel outside the country more ....there you might have the opportunity to wear whatever u like....if u like moving to a warmer area maybe move to usa texas california or florida??
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
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.
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.
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
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
Ireland is shit now
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!
Good question and idea!
I think that the shapes of our bodies should not be influenced by anyone.
The only thing that we should influence is to always stay focused on being healthy 💯
@@AMEditionYT I agree, so how come the body positivity thing is a problem in Ireland?
Be the change you wish to see in the world!
Absolutely 💯 💖
Well said, change comes from within, you don't blame your environment 👍
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
Thanks for shatter your experience. Living in good weather definitely makes a hugeee change 😊
Best of luck in your new adventures 🍀🤞
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??
Thank you for all the information that you have shared!
I hope it was useful 😊💖
Where are you basically from?
I don't know for sure where she's from, but obviously a country with wonderful weather, fantastic food, amazing nightlife, stunning looking people (just like her), big salaries and little tax - wait, why did she leave that beautiful country in the first place - hang on, did someone say she was from Moldova? hahahaha the average monthly salary there is 300 euros per month. please little girl, shut up and grow up, better still go back to moldova and don't waste everyone's time
l hear you about that apartment for 30 years, it's crazy.
It's an investment and it's a good one, but I didn't feel ready to commit
Are you going back to Moldova ?
Only 25! Explore the world! Good luck.
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?
Yup 😁 this video was filmed in July.
Till yhe 7th of July, I only went out ince without a jacket on. And I still didn't feel comfortable.
Cold was not the problem for me.
The grey sky was making me depressed.
It can be -30°C in Moldova but it's usually sunny even in such a cold and I feel much better ☺️
@@AMEditionYT Check your vitamin D levels. Low D vitamin triggers depression. You can get it in meds, it is not unhealthy.
A proper lightweight quality sailing windproof jacket with an optional head cover, a second pair of socks and a pair of gloves and you won't feel cold in your life again.
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.
Hello! Just subscribed to your channel))
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I know many places are really slow, this is why I liked being in Dublin.
Hope to meet you though when I will visit Ireland again
@@AMEditionYT Looking forward to your new vlogs. Keep inspiring! Thank you for subscribing. I am just a beginner.
Ma’am why. We love u
sorry about so many comments cant see you handling the pain on your own
did you get irish citizenship?
Divorce rate in Ireland is not one in two, it is quite low by comparsion with other countries.
Yes, it's not easy to divorce when people share the same property.
But again, I want to be free to choose the man I am with.
A man must look good, be rich, ambitious, attractive, please a woman, look after all the children etc. Etc. Etc. And if a man is unable to do it, I don't want to be stuck with him.
I want to be able to chose a younger and a richer man. 💕
Thank you for underscoring EVERY SINGLE reason why I WANT to move to Ireland, lol!
You can look at all these things from different aspects. It's a cool experience though to try living in another country.
I 100% agree with the toxic positivity. It's unhealthy to accept being overweight
Depends on the situation though. But toxic positivity is not working unfortunately
Sad to see you go but safe travels and come back whenever you like.
Thanks a lot for the lovely comment 🥰❤️
