Hi Kelly,

I’m Nuraini. I just joined this Bffinder thing today, after moping around the house for a few years. I’m 43-ish :). I’ve been here since 1999, from Malaysia. I came here as a University Student, fell in love with a classmate, married, stayed, had babies, worked, quit work, and now am looking for new things to do. A new chapter of life shall we say.

Your note resonates with me, in terms of the trying to make a beautiful home (I’m not too good at it though, it always seems to stay a mess, with 6 people to clean up after, maybe it’s not my fault), growing vegetables, crafting and animals. We have two pet rabbits and a few fish and a turtle. I have tried being self-sufficient but don’t think I’d be able to survive off my produces alone… at all. I like walking too, hiking not so much but will do it for health reasons. I love yoga, even tho it tortures me afterwards, esp the planking/core muscle poses. I’m also more of a home bird. Even my work friends have commented on this. I’d only go out shopping if I have to. I’d make myself attend work dinners and all that but it is something that takes alot of effort from me. I know it’s something I have to work on, like building a stamina/tolerence for it. It’s a relief now that I don’t have to deal with people that much, but at the same time, loneliness does creep up.

Unfortunately, I’m in Limerick, so meeting up would be unlikely. This might be both a relief and a downer :).

I don’t know if I’d make a good friend, but I can try.

I’m sorry about your heart being broken. From what you said, was it recent? That’s simply horrible. But I’m not going to make this about him, so what can I do for you? What would you like to talk about?

I used to enjoy cooking but have lost the spirit for it recently. What kind of crafts do you do? I’m trying to learn watercolour at the moment, but since it’s only my first year at it, I have nothing good to show for it yet. I used to be into cardmaking and have drawers of stuff 😛 If you’re interested in any of those kind of stuff, maybe I could post some of my excess to you. I don’t know how to knit but my eldest daughter does. She’s the same age as yours. I am just learning how to sew and mend clothes at the moment and am so pleased that I can now rescue my jeans/denims rather than throw them away.

Alright, that’s all I can think of to say for now. I need to get cracking at the daily wiping and sweeping, else my house would have no chance at being beautiful :). Take care.

PS: What do you plant in your garden? I need help as a lot of my plants seem to be dying this year. I’m starting to wonder if there is something wrong with the soil.

[Kelley]

Hi I’m Kelly, 48 years young. I have recently moved to Ireland for the time being from New Zealand. I am living in a cute but run down cottage on lots of land in mayo. I was born in UK, moved to Australia, tried to come home a few years ago but that failed so I went to new zealand where I fell in love, still am in love but got my heart broken. So now I live here in Ireland hoping oneday the man of my dreams wakes up and takes me back home. For now I live a quiet life with my beautiful 15 year old daughter,
We are trying to make the cottage a beautiful home, trying to grow our vegetables but it is very hard on your own. Some good friends, good company would make this just perfect. I’m into many things, cooking, craft, knitting, sewing, love animals, walking, hiking, yoga, meditation, self sufficiency and so much more. I’m a bit of an introvert and I don’t like criwds, shopping, I go but don’t like it that much, much prefer to be doing things at home

Hello everyone! I just made my account here. I’m 27 years old, Brazilian guy living in Dublin. I came here originally to study English, 3 years ago, but now I’m just working in my area (Software Engineering). I like to talk about pretty much everything, and I’m excited to meet y’all 🙂

[Precious Okonkwo]

Hey I’m a new member to and I legit love Korean dramas and Kpop. My dream is to also go there for a nice holiday hopefully. I’d like to get know a few of yous. It’s really hard to find people who like Korean dramas and stuff.

[Anonymous]

Hey y’all,
I’m Sarah, 33 years old and originally from Germany but have previously lived in the US and Spain as well. I moved with my husband and our dog Chewy to the Cork area in 2020 (yep, great timing lol) for work and it has unfortunately been difficult to make new friends around here. I’m an easy-going person who likes to be active (I love hiking and yoga but I also like to try new activities). I also love food (cooking (as healthy as possible), baking, eating, you name it) or just having a pint at the pub is grand as well. I’m looking for some girlfriends to hang out with (whether that may be staying in or going out, doing active stuff or starting a hobby together, I’m down to whatever!). Would love to hear from like-minded ladies out there! Cheers, Sarah

[Furio]

Hello,
I’m Andrea, I moved in Ireland some years ago due to work.
Other than working I have a couple of hobbies, more than all books and games, but also hiking, when weather allows, and more than all nerd stuffs.
I also really like board games, and Table top simulator although great as a game, still cannot cope with the real board games.
I’m here to find new friends, as last year has been tough and many of those I knew left the country.
Feel free to chat me for a talk!
Have a nice day!

Sorry i meant the *TaLK programme

[potato1004]

Hey! I actually went to South Korea on the TOPIK programme after my second year at uni and was placed in Jeju
It was such a good experience, i would 100% recommend it! I had studied Korean before going and it made it soooo much easier to make friends there 😊 so i wouldn’t wait until you get there to start lol nowadays there’s loads of websites and resources to learn the language, and you can join HelloTalk to talk to native Korean speakers as well

Best of luck getting there, I’m sure you’ll have a geg

[Melissa Greau]

Hello my name is Melissa, I’m currently living in Bolivia but I’m moving to Dublin in January if everything goes under the plans! I wanna meet amazing people from Ireland I heard that you are one of the most friendly people in Europe I can’t wait to know more about your lovely culture and stories, of course I wanna meet people from all over the world too I will be happy to share with you some of my stories. I firmly believe that we should go back to the time when we were children and making friends was very easy, you only had to tell another child “Let’s be friends” and suddenly you acted with all the loyalty and affection that a friendship of that age entailed. I love music, reading, outdoor and indoor activities and many more, hope to find great friends. Have a great day!

[Melissa Greau]

Hi Carmen, my name is Melissa I’m 31 and I’m moving to Ireland in January, maybe we can meet one day to share a coffee and a Great chat, hoping to know more news about you.
Best regards,
Mel

Hi everyone I’m Liam and am new today here. Saw this and thought why not try it. Love to meet new people who have similar interests like movies, coffee, history, walks, gigs,sports, pint in a pub. If you’re in Limerick and would like to meet up let me know

[Anonymous]

Hi I am Vanessa and I have been living in Dublin for the past 4 years! It was never easy for me to make friends especially living a new country (ah, I’m from Brazil), I was always really shy and very introverted person but I made some good friends over the years living here, but I feel that I lost touch with all those people and I have no idea how to make new friends, I just feel really weird and lonely lately so it would be great to get to know new people. I’m a little bit awkward, but I’m really nice, love to talk (after a while when I get to know the person), I love coffee, going for long walks, have a drink in a pub and many others stuff! 🙂

[Sparsh]

Hi,

Firstly thanks to the creators for making the site. I am seeing lots of similar interests and am hoping to meet people with common interests.

I am Sparsh and have lived in Cork for nearly 3 years now, although I moved to the countryside a while back due to my job. Being kinda socially awkward, its hard to find and connect with people with similar interests when you are not in the city. I love to read, watch tv shows (the weirder, the better) and travel. I am a trainee accountant at the moment, and although its hard to have some free time with the exams and everything, hope to meet and connect with people.

[Sparsh]

Hi,

Yeah, I have been living in Cork for nearly 3 years now, although I moved to the countryside a while back and really miss the city. Its kinda hard to connect with locals in the countryside, as most people seem to know each other very well and I am sort of socially awkward.

[Natasa]

Hi, I am interested too! Count me in! In exchange, I could help you with Romanian, if anyone is interested! 🙂

[Andrew]

Hello everyone,

I’m Andy,

I am currently getting used to the fact that I will be soon be able to visit friends indoors as I was vacinated on Friday. By the way, the one reaction I had to the vaccine shot was a dry mouth for an hour. Weird but could have been worse.

[Jessica Brady]

Hi everyone ! My name is Jessica and I’m a single mammy to a beautiful boy. I was living on the UK the last few years, came home just before the pandemic ! Its just me and my boy and it gets very lonely. Although I’m grateful for everything I have, I really feel like I have a lot more living to do, and I just want to find fun people to have in my life and my sons life. Im very spiritual, love the outdoors, love to cook and look after people. Someone message me please and restore my faith in humanity 🙏 p.s im in cork

[CarmenHA]

Hey! My name is Carmen and I’m moving to Ireland soon. I’m super excited to start this new chapter of my life. I’m looking for people to have drinks, go to cultural activities, do yoga, travel and many more things. Let’s connect!

[Humanonion]

Hi, I’m Lauren. (26) and living in Cavan. Two of my best friends have gone to live on the other side of the world so I’ve been feeling quite lost lately. I am happy in my own company usually but recently it’s been getting harder. So I thought why not join this for the craic. I am outgoing, love being outdoors hiking or walking the dog. I’m a very “everything happens for a reason person” and I don’t take life too seriously. Love trying new things and meeting new people. My favourite TV shows are It’s always sunny and the office, so that’s really my humour. Looking forward to talking to like minded people.

[strawberrys]

Hey! I’m not planning on moving to Korea but I would love to travel there, I know a little bit of the language and I do mean a tiny bit haha
The language I am currently focusing on is Traditional Chinese and wanted to go to Taiwan last year but, same as your plans, Corona rudely cancelled them.

[Gemma]

Hi everybody,
I need help with something important to me…
I am moving to Ireland and wish to talk to people with children in school. Even better if you know about autistic children in school and how they take care of that there. My children are 7 and 10.

[Serena]

Hey guys

I’m new to this platform. I was just interested to see if anyone else on here is interested in Korea.

I first got an interested in Korea in 2016. I was a first yar in college and had recently discovered kdrama the previous year and kpop that year. I immediately became intrigued by the language and i decided from then on i wanted to move to south Korea. That is when i discovered the Epik program which allows you to work as an English language teacher in Korea. All that’s required is a bachelors degree in any discipline and a tefl certificate. You apply then submit the relevant documents and if yore lucky you get an interview and pass then you get to go to Korea. I have literally been dreaming about this for 5 years now. Sadly I couldn.t apply this year because of the corona virus.

The reason why im so interested in going to Korea is because I just think the language is fantastic. I’ve never heard anything like it before. I love learning new languages and I added korean onto my list. One day I just thought to myself what is the best way to learn a language? Of course the answer was going to the country where the language is spoken. That way you can practice with natives and also get to partake in the culture of that country and learn about the history as well.

I haven’t given up on going yet and I plan to go next year by the grace of God. Wish me luck guys.

If anyone else is interested to hear more or just interested in Korea in general please feel free to comment on this topic. I would love to discuss with other people.

Hi Tinad. I have been going to the gym for five years I used to go once a week and after that I did kick boxing. I would go two times a week for exercise rounds and one of the days for the kick boxing. I enjoyed the gym I don’t miss it that much it would be good to go back to it. At home what I do for exercise is go for walks am not into exercising at home

[TINAD]

How is everyone coping with the gyms being closes?
I used to train 4 times a week, love the gym experience, it’s so much more than just going there to lift weights or cardio, it’s a vibe, it’s the energy, it’s what it makes you feel inside…
I’ve tried at home workouts and did well for the first lockdown but I haven’t been able to motivate myself…it’s just not the same…
I hear gyms are opening on the 7th June…
Can’t come quick enough for me…
Anyone else feel the same???

[Louanne]

Oh I love a good crime documentary ?? I can’t remember of the name of the ones I watch recently, will have to look them up later ??. I am big on any tv show also.

[Kath95]

Hi I’m kat! And I’ve just joined this site.
I am 26 and a irish traveller. I swear I’m not like what you see on TV ? any ways i don’t have any friends. I am married and stay at home mom. I’m more likely to delete this as I suffer from anxiety but here’s to trying. I understand the majority of ireland hate travellers but I am not bad just lonely.. also my username is my daughters

[Josué Bustarviejo]

Hi everyone!

I see some replies in which I have see a lot of things in common. I guess that watching movies, for example, is something that we made this last year.

In my case, I love cooking, my favourite hobby! I even started a cooking channel in Youtube (but In Spanish). I tried the same that you Maria, making natural wax candles, but the result was not best, and the cost was higger than actually buy candles at the supermarket, so bad deal… hahaha

Hi everyone,

My name is Andy. I am 29 and currently living in Louth (although I have just bought a house in Co. Meath and will move there next year once it has been built).

I am both a secondary school teacher (Philosophy, Religion and English) and a college lecturer (Sociology and Philosophy).
I am lucky to have a wonderful fiancée, who is also a teacher but am looking to meet some new friends (male or female) who have an interest in film, history, travel and music.

I plan to attend a lot of concerts in Ireland and festivals around Europe once this lockdown has ended, so it would be ideal to meet some people who are also open to jumping on a plane to go and listen to some rock music!

[UnlockBff_Vipul7]

Hi all!

Hi everyone! I’m an American that has spent a lot time in Ireland over the years and I miss it soooo much! I’m an over-50 (!) gal that would love to make some Irish friends. I was originally drawn to the island because of ancestors near Killarney but lately have explored Cork City multiple times because of other ancestors. I day dream of moving there someday and would love to hear from any other Americans that have done so.

[Lara]

Good afternoon, everyone!

My name’s Lara and I’m from Switzerland. I’ve stumbled across this site in my search to learn more about Ireland and to get sort of a starting point, as I am currently looking for an employment in Dublin – it’s always been my dream to work abroad and now I’m finally in the position where I can actually begin to tackle it.

I studied translations (English and French into German) and am currently trying to learn Dutch, Italian and Irish, though the focus clearly is on Dutch. I’m interested in basically everything – as long as it’s presented to me with joy and passion, I’m on board (except all things mathematical, I’m at total loss here…)

Thanks to my dad, I’ve had a fascination for the northern european countries ever since I can remember and have visited Dublin a couple of times in the past.

Despite being interested in many things, I don’t make contact with new people too easily so I’m hoping to find one or two people on this site.

That’s it from me for now, and until soon!

Cheers,
Lara

Hi everyone

My name is Paul. I’m currently studying creative writing in college with a view to working in TV. I’m 32, single, and don’t have any kids. I live in Dublin with housemates. I love to meet new people. I’m a quiet, introverted type. I’m a huge fan of the Smiths.
