We’ve discussed it here a small bit recently and I’ve found myself looking up jobs the last couple of weeks. Most likely South of Spain if we were. Im caught between wanting my kids to grow up Irish but I also not liking what this country is becoming, or has become. It’s only a thought now and not sure it will go anywhere but the dream is nice.
Boston after College. Easy to do when you have no dependents.
Both of you need to be 100 percent on the same wave length (obviously you know that). Women like to be near family for the most part. I would be worried about the strain on a relationship (with kids) without that family support.
Applied for the Donnelly visa back in the 80s. From memory think I had a chance of getting it but a job came up here and I didn’t pursue it. Ireland in the 80s was a fairly grim place and on top of that you had cunts like Gay Byrne talking the place down at every opportunity.
Id love to emigrate.- to a place where I’m properly appreciated, where my talents are recognised and rewarded etc.
As soon as i find such a place I’m off.
My brother has lived in the US for a decade. Married to an American with American kids and has full visa etc now. Makes plenty money has a decent lifestyle but despises the US
I lived, worked, drank and hoored in Germany for two years in my early twenties. It was a whale of a time, but a woman brought me home and I’m with her since, God bless her.
It’s a different dynamic when you’re young and single. You have kids @Thomas_Brady and the commitment of emigrating is a serious one. Tread carefully, my friend. May good fortune be with you.
I left in 2003 and came back 2016. Oz for 2/3s of it, US the other bit.
I’m waiting for the kids to finish tertiary education/qualification etc and I’ll be emigrating (another 10 years or so to go). Not too many places better to raise kids from my experience so will bail when the raising is done
