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!

The Witcher and Russian Doll are both brilliant!

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
I can highly recommend Line Of Duty & Bodyguard if you like crime-based programmes

@janet-tigger-howley beautiful photo , looks like a stunning sunset .
@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…

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
Ya i started watching also! Its so good ??
Really enjoyed Let It Snow last night, just a random choice but really nice and some nice unexpected storylines. 🙂
Another day, another e-mail from Netflix…this time telling me that Season 2 of ‘You’ is available now…awesome!
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.
Ah I’d forgotten about that! I really love season 1, it was so different from anything else, great family drama! I started season 2 but other ones got in the way! I must find some free time for it again!
