Hey guys and gals, I’m Lize 26 and living in Gorey Co Wexford. Moved to Ireland from South Africa but was raised in the UK too so I’ve seen a few things in my short 26 years. I’m a wife and a mom to a gorgeous 2 year old girl.
Looking for a friend or couple to be friends with around our age (26&29) either mom friend for play dates or non mom friends for drinks. Or mom friend for drinks and non mom friends for play dates haha.
I absolutely love dogs, am on a bit of a weight loss journey right now. I love to read but never find enough time because #greysislife.
Hey all, Im 32 and looking to meet some new friends. As we all know it can be hard meeting people as you get older so I would be open to chatting or meeting some new people based around the Dublin / Kildare areas. I just want to point out that it is not me in the pic. I could not get through without one ?
Hi there, I’m Niamh and I’m from Dublin (don’t hold it against me). I’m a final year psychology student and crisis line volunteer as well as a wife and mam to a preteen… So long story short I need to get out of the house lol. I gave up the drink 1.5 years ago and as a result more than a few friends have drifted apart. Would love to find others to meet for coffee, walks, etc (when restrictions are eased of course!).
Hi there my name is Sharon I am from Co Ŕoscommon, I just came across this sit tonight. Its a great idea. As I am working from home all the time now it would be great to have the chats. It gets harder to make friends so I think this is a great idea.
Hello! I’m Lauri and i’m 26 years old from Switzerand. I fell in love with ireland when i was there for a language school 5 years ago. Since then i visit ireland once a year (except this year. thanks alot corona) and i would love to make some new friends to write and meet when i’m in ireland.
Hi I’m Denise.
I’m 32, living in Laois, mammy to 3 kids and work from home.
Being home all the time can feel like I’m crawling the walls sometimes so it would be lovely to get to know some ladies to meet for a chat, a walk or any get togethers.
It’s hard to make genuine friends but fingers crossed hey ?

I love photography! I can’t always take my camera as I developed rheumatoid arthritis last year, it’s all over but my hands and wrists and shoulders can get really bad so I can’t use them much. Here are some of my favourites from the last 12 months. I particularly love animal photography, landscapes, and street photography. This one is in Morocco, Marrakesh, such a vibrant colourful place, on the surface it seems like absolute mayhem, but look a little closer and you see that it’s not at all.
One of my favourite buildings! The natural history museum in London. I went to an event called dinosnores, you get to sleep in the museum!! There are activities all night and a 3 course meal and breakfast, it was one of the best experiences ever!
Another from Morocco… In the apparent madness, just some friends bumping into each other
Hi everyone,
This website is lovely! I’m Natalia, 34 years old. I’m from Argentina and have been in Dublin for 3 years. I am an engineer and environmentalist and work for an energy efficiency company here. I like everything to do with sustainability, animals, nature. I love books, movies, music, travelling, good veggie food, bakery. I’m in love with Ireland and it’s people, and would be good to find new friends when restrictions are not so strict 🙂
@burkie Could you please add it again so that people could meet for a socially distant walk or coffee? Or even add a book club online chat gathering? At least people could form connections on here before the restrictions lift & have gatherings to look forward to.
I’m near Tipperary Town if anyone is close by & would like to meet.
@hernameislalex Hi Alex and welcome! We have a Gatherings feature that we turned off due to Covid-19 but hopefully in the coming weeks we can add that again so you can post up coffee chats, shopping trips, or book club chats for people to attend.
How was Japan? My sister and nephew have had a few trips there and they were all asking for photos with my nephew 😀
Hi! I’m Alex and I’m brand new to the site. Living in Dublin my whole life (except a couple of years in Japan). Just looking to chat to new people and hopefully find some new friends to meet up with when social distancing isn’t so strict ☺️
This is the wonkiest site I’ve ever seen. Sorry for the silly posts. The edit button doesn’t seem to work and I’ve no idea how to do anything on here. I’m not normally this ‘special’ I swear. I miss GirlCrew’s functionality. Feel free to msg if you like my profile and have figured this site out. Cheers. (Believe it or not I work in tech, this is embarassing, lol.)
Hi, I am originally from Cork but now living in Tipperary. I only moved here last summer & Ihaven’t really got to know anyone here yet. This Covid lockdown isn’t helping. I fill my time with movies, podcasts & cooking. I hope to make some connections through this lovely platform. I have two dogs to keep me company.
I’m too cheap to order a new one, although you just gave me an idea of getting it posted to me 🙂
@patricia-lyons Oh no, pity your kindle is run out.. Is it possible to get it, or order a replacement charger?
Definitely Charmed for me !! Loved it, looked forward to watching it each week with my Mum!! I got the box set and am rewatching it again for the 30th time!!
Second would be Sabrina the teenage witch. Followed closely by Buffy and Angel 🙂
I did nothing and stayed at doing nothing… I’m super proud of myself.. ?
Hey Jules !!
Well actually I told myself to read more am I did up until the lock down happened.. I have all my books on my kindle as I just moved and don’t have my books here and I was forced to stop when my kindle died cus I left the charger at my boyfriends home house.. silly me
oh god awks, I didn’t see any of the other replies and thought Catriona from Carlow started the thread.. Hi everybody its obvious that I’m the ditz of the group ? I’m from waterford, love walking the dogs, meeting up with friends/family, Shopping, baking, Reading, lots of other stuff too. Nice to meet you all
Hi Catriona from Carlow ? I agree, we are a great ppl here in Eire but so hard to find solid friendships in adulthood. With everything going on with Covid, it’s obviously harder. I hope ppl that are feeling isolated or lonely find out about this platform. Good topic!
Friends, tops my list all day every day! Mad about you, home improvement, Baywatch and Saved by the bell
I’m working from home, trying to learn and study some new things and I’m cycling almost every day. Also many hours of Netflix.
Eating too much seems to be the common theme coming out of this lockdown ?. I have been walking the little legs off my dog and starting to grow a bit of veg in pots. Thank goodness for the beautiful weather!
Hi, I’m Caitriona, from Carlow. I really hope that people make use of this wonderful platform to meet new people. While Ireland may be known as the land of a thousand welcomes, when it comes to making real strong friendships in adulthood, Ireland can be very cliquey. If you move town or country it can be extremely difficult to find lasting friendships here. This site deserves lots of publicity and I really hope people make use of it. The very best of luck ?☘️
Hi Maria , im not bad , with two young kids i am quite busy keeping them occupied. I did some cooking and eatings way too much ?? .. need to get back on the wagon ?… some day are better then other ?
Nanny Fran all life! XD also Friends, Dharma & Greg and not really from the 90′ but…Bewitched is a classic 🙂
Hi
I am 34 and recently moved to Dublin.
I like music, baking, cooking, animals, yoga, homemade, meeting friends for a coffee or drink. Travelled a lot which in unfortunately put on hold.
Feel free to pm me 🙂
Batman: The Animated Series and Freeks & Geeks. I only discovered Gargoyles in recent years. They really don’t make ’em like these anymore!
I prefer Angel over Buffy.
Other series I like are MacGyver (technically that’s mid 80s, but still..), Ally McBeal, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER..
I need to watch Twin Peaks
I really enjoyed Friday nights watching Buffy and Angel back then. And many late nights up watching Frasier and Seinfield. My guilty pleasure was watching The Nanny 🙂
My all time favorite tv show was ER , I would still watch it now. Also love friends , full house and many more 🙂
I think Peaky Blinders is good, not something I would have usually watched but was oddly addictive to watch. YOU, How to Get away with Murder and Virgin River are a nice selection too.
@louanne Yes, “Don’t F*ck With Cats” is really good. It raised a hard question for us viewer to answer.
I couldn’t keep up with long series so I opt for short mini-series instead, mostly documentary like DFWC, Cooked, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Planet Earth, The Crown, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Midnight Diner..
Currently I’m watching Night On Earth.. Next on list is Ragnarok
I recently watching the movie Your Name and Weathering With You.. Such tear jerking scenes, I didn’t expect that from any anime..
I don’t watch many anime, just few such as Attack On Titans, Durarara, or Detective Conan
I grew up on Marvel comics and used to travel to forbidden planet to spend my first jobs wages on numerous comics but I never ventured into anime, but my nephew loves them and took me to a couple of stores in Madrid and that was a real eye-opener to the world of anime. Just wondering if there’s a film/series you’d recommend to check out?
So who’s watching what? So far I’m not seeing any 10/10s this season but dorohedoro and darwins game look like they’ll get good and I’m a sucker for basketball anime so Ahiru ni Sora is fun 🙂
@julianaayu Happy February 🙂
About 15 months ago I gave up drink and stuck with that and feeling all the better for it, but I’ve never tried to make a change in January. Although I’ve been aiming to read more offline lately, some books I’ve ordered have just arrived so hope to get stuck into one tomorrow and hopefully continue with that.
So I was in London for most of yesterday to see the Brexit celebrations @ 11pm; I took this photo of the London Eye whilst I was walking back to the train station…
Happy February to all..
For those who have been following your resolution throughout the month (Dry January, more gym, no-meat etc..), congratulation!!
I personally did not have any specific thing-to-do, but my housemate has been going “no-meat” all January. What did you do?
@julianaayu , thats such a lovely picture 🙂
@Ivan , thats picture is amazing, you’re very good at it 🙂
A simple walk to work in Blackrock and yet was presented with the gorgeous pink sunrise..
So, I’ve just spent the last week in Ireland; visited Galway Cathedral on Friday afternoon and took this photo, which I was quite pleased with…
Really enjoyed Season 2 of Sex Education – steady little season, flew through it all yesterday!
I have to agree with Liam on Prego Pizza in Clonmel, you can’t go wrong with that place. I have to say one of my favourite places for a good chipper is Miss Ellie’s. A must try if you’re passing through Clonmel, you won’t be disappointed 🙂
Hello you beautiful people,
I’m Juliana, originally from Malaysia, have been living in Ireland for the last 16 years. I love travelling and outdoor activities, always willing to try new things to do but then I get bored pretty easily and move on to another to-do-thing.
..
…
….
Sorry. What was I saying?
Oh yeah. I enjoy meeting new people, hanging out with delicious food and good story. I’m travelling to Central Asia in March for 2 weeks and always on a look out for ideas on places to visit.
I also have weird sense of humor, it threw people off at the start, but I find inappropriate jokes could sometimes ease the mood.
Sometimes.
@burkie The Swiss cottage is one of Ireland’s hidden gems , one of my favourite places to visit
Hi everyone! So my name is Jon (33), currently live in the UK at the moment, however I’m looking to move to Galway as I’m in the process of writing a bid/proposal that will hopefully allow me to take over the operations of the air service that operates between the Aran Islands and the mainland. I originally wanted to join the military, however I wasn’t able to do so at the time due to my eyesight so I turned my attention to commercial aviation and have previously worked at Gatwick and Heathrow airports and also for a private jet firm (believe me, it’s not as glamorous as it sounds…!). Taken quite a bit of time off lately due to mental health issues, however I’m really excited about the prospects for the future and have high hopes of starting a new life in Ireland very soon.
Hi my name is Marie (39) I am from Tipperary and now live in Dublin the last 20 yrs. My fav hobbies are baking, crochet, hiking, cycling, spin and yoga. I also love eating out, afternoon teas and coffee/chat. Looking forward to meeting new people.
They are just getting ready to start filming the 2nd season so a little while till we get a follow up! I binge watched season 1 myself in a day haha. Not normally into the sort of medieval fantasy genre but glad I gave this a shot as it turned out to be brilliant!
Hello everyone! Firstly – thanks Louanne & Liam for making this site, it’s excellent!
I’m Ivan from Croatia and I’m living and working in Ireland (Galway) since 2015.
Along with my full time job, I’m doing online course (L6) IT Sligo.
My fav hobbies: music (electronic music production), photography (amateur photography), cycling (I like to cycle daily, minimum 20 km) and sugar at the end – cars 😉
Looking forward to meet new people 🙂
@nadine-gregory-leleux I just finished The Witcher yesterday, it was a one day watch while I was working, but around the middle of it I was wishing I had paid more attention! But really enjoyable 1st series!
Howzit! I’m Nadine, originally from South Africa and have been here in Ireland for 9 months now. Living in beautiful bohemian Galway and loving this city! I’m a full time working singly mummy also currently training for an Ultra marathon in Donegal called the 7 sisters that I can’t wait to experience! I like this idea very much as still haven’t really made many friends here in Ireland and this seems like a cool way to do it!
Photo of the Swiss Cottage in Cahir back taken park in September while on a visit with my in-laws. It was a really warm day for that time of the year, and it’s always nice to see the interior of this old house.
So as it’s the weekend we’d love to know what’s your favourite takeaway to treat yourself to after a long week and shoutout the takeaway also, or do you prefer to cook a fakeaway at home instead 🙂
For me it would have to be a Prego Pizza in Clonmel (would recommend for any to drop in if you’re ever in the area), getting a 16″ ham, mushroom, sweetcorn and onion for just €9.50, or the odd pepperoni pizza from time to time!
Or Chinese wise I’d go to Mary 19 for Salt & Chilli Shredded Beef.
I’m Janet, but better known as Tigger. I love my family, travel and adventure. I home school my youngest children and we take advantage of special offers on flights and ferry crossings. Recently we went to Italy, Romania and Bulgaria and loved every second of it, travel is such a great education for the children and the gain so much from these trips. I love meeting new people and have many friends from all walks in life, it keeps life interesting. I love lots of different crafts and find creating things keeps my mind busy. I love the out doors and I try to spend a few hours outdoors everyday. I love camping both in Ireland and mainland Europe. I wish you ever success with this website, it is a great idea and will hopefully bring lots of people together
Liam – I studied Multimedia & Communications in Clonmel, graduated and found it hard to get my foot in the door so began a job in Abbott and 4 years later decided it was time to get out and start my own business. I’ve been working for myself for the past 9 years. I’ve been lucky to have worked with numerous clients from large corporate companies to small local businesses. And in my spare time I love to work on side projects and always strive to learn new things, currently trying to read more and aiming to learn Polish & get through a few books in 2020.
Hi everyone, let’s start a tread to introduce each other 🙂
I moved to Ireland back in 2012 from Canada when I met my now husband online. I am a stay at home mom of 2 little monkeys ?. So my day consists of the usual mom stuff. I know interesting eh ?? I am fluent in french, english would be my second language! I love going out and meeting some friends for coffee (I love coffee) or even having them to call over for a chat! 🙂
Here are some of the shows I’ve enjoyed
Mindhunter
Bates Motel
The Sinner
Ozark
How to get away with murder
Did I say Mindhunter lol
I think V wars also has potential
Also I know subtitles arent everyone’s cup of tea but if you do like them there are some great subtitled shows on Netflix
Dark
La Mante
Hinterland
Good morning this is my favourite photo of 2019 . I like it because the place was so peaceful. That was in October in Singapore.
@jon-davies wow that’s really nice! I can see the move to Galway giving similar results 🙂
So I currently live in the UK and during the summer last year I spent a beautiful day on the beach at Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters…
This is a photo of our beach at sunset, it was our first walk of the year on the 2nd January. Not a great photo, it was just taken on the phone, but I love it
Watched mindhunters
How to get away with murder
Gossip girl
Sons of anarchy
Suits
The crown
Call the midwife
Reign
All amazing watches very addictive !!
Any more recommendations please X
I just have one huge combined plan, goal and dream for 2020, which is to move to Ireland as I’m considering taking over the small air service that operates between the Aran Islands and the mainland near Galway.
Nothing like the start of a new year to try and plan ahead, especially a new decade and one with nice round numbers too. So I’d love to hear about your plans, goals and dreams for the year ahead.
For me, PLAN to have more fun, continue to build my business and look ahead rather than just at the projects in hand. GOALS to earn more than last year and create better work, stick a trip or two abroad in there. DREAM of being happier and more at peace with myself and to bring that into other people’s lives also. Also really looking forward to growing this website with @Louanne and seeing what it becomes and forever thinking of new features and ways to bring strangers closer together.
I am currently watching “You” it’s utterly addictive and I can’t stop binge watching it! Really deals with how people can manipulate their way into your life. Also loving Atypical as it deals with life with a ASD child and I’m the parent of a 15 ASD boy so I find it really easy to relate to but it would be also good just for a general watch as the story lines are good
Really enjoyed Let It Snow last night, just a random choice but really nice and some nice unexpected storylines. 🙂
Had an e-mail from Netflix today telling me that Season 2 of ‘Lost in Space’ is now available; the first season was amazing, so looks like I’ll be reactivating my account later this evening!
It only has 2 seasons but Marcella on Netflix is fantastic if your into crime drama. I’m in the middle of watching season 2. I’m a disaster with trying to get time to watch anything. Another one I loved was designated survivor aswell.
I watch the documentary of Dirty John and its was really good but never got the chance to watch the tv show but must fo that 🙂
Hi, so I no longer have Netflix. I tend to just pay for one month at a time when I know that there is something on there that I want to watch. I did binge-watch ‘You’ in 3 days though, it was brilliant. I’d also highly recommend Dirty John, which has Eric Bana in it.
