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.

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 🙂

@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 😀

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.

[Patricia Lyons]

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 🙂

[Patricia Lyons]

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

[BohoGal20]

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!

[BohoGal20]

Friends, tops my list all day every day! Mad about you, home improvement, Baywatch and Saved by the bell

[Cat3773]

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 ?☘️

[Maria Cori]

Hi everyone, as this isolation is hitting us we are probably finding any possible way to keep ourselves busy. How’s everyone doing? I so far ideated a new lines of candles to sell, baked a lot of delicious goodies and apparently started to watch Dr. House XD

[Sabrina Ba]

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 🙂

[julianaayu]

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

[burkie]

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 🙂

[Paigey]

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.

[burkie]

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?

[Gráinneóg]

Happy February! ? I have a goal to read 50 books in 2020. I’m not doing as well as I’d hoped (still on Book 3) but I’m getting there!

[burkie]

@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…

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 🙂

[julianaayu]

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.

[Janet-Tigger-Howley]

@burkie The Swiss cottage is one of Ireland’s hidden gems , one of my favourite places to visit

[Jon Davies]

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.

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!

[Ivan]

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!

[Anonymous]

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!

[burkie]

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

[burkie]

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.

[Louanne]

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! 🙂

[Bhowley]

I’d love to see some peoples favourite photographs they took in 2019/2020.

[Jon Davies]

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.

[burkie]

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.
