@@ReigneOrShine your really respectful, kind, and caring. Of course you’re welcome here, some aren’t and that’s for various reasons. However i wish we saw a larger diaspora community returning back home.
@@LanaDelReysBabe thank you so much. I would like to know how to pronounce your name. I haven’t encountered it before and I’m very interested of Irish names. 😬 I agree with you! As a matter of fact, I have a lot of viewers from US, Canada that are Irish. They love watching our videos because it remind them good memories. And some even said they will soon come back for retirement. Others decided to buy a house here because they loved their visit many years ago. Ireland has the effect on many people including me.
Love the video! I moved to Ireland 30 years ago and never looked back. Best decision of my life. It's so good to hear someone focusing on the many positives when there is a lot of unjust criticism.
thank you very much for watching and for your kind comment! Really glad to hear that you could find a nice home here in Ireland and you´re enjoying the country. I see many videos on RU-vid about the bad side of places, but I want to focus my channel on the positive aspects of life and travel. All the best.
Staying in other countries is the key to a balanced life. You start to understand the differences aren't too different. Good people are good people all over the world. Spent many holidays in Ireland with my Irish parents and love the place with all my heart
It is always going to be perspective. If we cannot change the weather, we can change the way we see things. 🥰 rain is very calming for you. I just don’t like the wind 😭😭
I love hearing a shoutout for the weather! I'm from Sweden, and can't stand the freezing winters, although snow has a charm... for about two weeks. Then I went to Georgia in July and realized I hate the heat as well. (I did know that before, but that visit really sent it home when my eyeballs had fully melted out of my skull.) So Ireland sounds more or less perfect, at least if you find one of the less rainy parts.
thank you very much for watching and for sharing your experience! I've never experienced very cold winters in my life, but I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy the snow for many days either 😅 Last summer we went to Spain in September and I couldn't stand the 35 degrees we had there anymore. Last years we're travelling to Mediterranean countries in spring to avoid the summer heat there. Here in Ireland, the temperatures are nice most of the time, the main problem is the lack of sunlight in winter and the cold Atlantic winds when they are blowing strongly. Plus the fact that the weather is totally unpredictable no matter the forecast, but if you´re patient and get used to this, Irish people often say that if you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes (because it's changing all the time, haha). Wexford and Waterford are usually the counties with more sunny days and nicer summers too.
@@ReigneOrShine Wexford and Waterford is exactly where I've looked! 😀 Sunnier than the rest of Ireland (and we're already living for a few years in a very rainy part of Norway, so we're used to some of it), not too expensive property. But we're also looking to northern Spain, so we'll have to spend some time in both countries to decide. 🙂
Really useful and positive video mi amor! Wherever we live there are always good things and it’s really important to spread positivity. Complaining is often very easy, but enjoying life wherever you are is a gift and there is always brightness for those grateful enough to admire it 🇮🇪💚😘
What a great video. Thank you for bringing your nursing experience..’the angels’ are a welcome blessing ❤️. I’m glad you enjoy living here with us ☘️☘️☘️
thanks a million for your kind words and for appreciating my video! It's a great pleasure to live here in Ireland. I´ll always be grateful for the opportunity to work as a nurse here, and I know that many of my colleagues think in the same way . 🙏🏽😊🇮🇪💚
Wow. I have relatives living in WA state and they said the weather is similar. My mom is visiting next month in WA and she requested to visit where the Twilight shoot their scenes. Lol! She is a fan of Twilight. 😂😂
Thanks a lot for such a nice lovely video. you are 100% right Irish people are friendly we experienced this personally now we are running business no trouble at all no diffrence at all I am living in Ireland I have 2 kids they used to say we are Irish but our parrents are from diffrent country. you are right not to share bad expeirences ( its every where even in our home countries we have bad experiences with our own people ) Just promote the good things cluture people and be nice to people it will automatically promote your culture in Ireland . Thanks for such a nce video i will follow you for more to learn to explore. Stay blessed and stay IRISh as well
Thank you very much for watching and for appreciating my video! I´m really glad that you support also the positive mindset that we try to share on our content. Really glad to know that you´re having a happy life in Ireland with your family too. We wish you good luck with your business. All the best!
Hello. Thank you so much for these kind words. I definitely needed that after the previous events that happened in the city of Dublin. Most of us hard working immigrants want to live peacefully alongside with Irish. We don’t want to cause any harm to anyone. But no matter, the negative things that are happening won’t change the fact that Ireland is beautiful and there are more kind people.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. My husband is a travel landscape photographer as a hobby that’s why I’m lucky that he plans many side trips in Ireland during our day off. Ireland has so many beautiful places to explore!
Hope you enjoyed my home Island of Achill, you took some nice footage there. The winter here is very interesting and I love its natural raw expressions, just love the sea !
Thank you very much for watching and for your comment! Totally agree with you, nature in Ireland is very pure and unique! You´re so lucky to be from Achill, it´s one of our favourite places in Ireland so far, we shared a full video of our trip there, here is the link in case you wanna check: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rs2THrx-jTs.html All the best! 💚🇮🇪☺️
what a wonderful positive video. i love Ireland too i've been there every single year for over 30 years my close family is there. i have a house there too and can't wait to retire there in a year or two. i'm going to spend my golden years travelling around Ireland visiting all the wonderful places...of which i'd love to know where those caves are @ 3:31
Thank you very much for watching and for your comment! Really happy to hear that you love Ireland too, your retirement is really gonna be a wonderful one travelling around this amazing country. 😊🇮🇪💚 Those caves are in County Sligo, they are called Keashcorran Caves, we have a travel vlog of Sligo where we show them with more detail at the end: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WCyUrtnu0VE.html
I am thinking about moving to Ireland and found your video very helpful. I am glad to hear that there are many cafes there. I knew there were tons of pubs but didn't realize that cafes are also popular. As an avid coffee drinker and pastry eater, that is good news.
thank you very much for watching and for appreciating my video! Trying different cafés around Ireland is one of our favourite activities here, we always include them in our travel videos, in case you want to check some of them when you´ll be here. 😊
I've always wanted to visit Ireland. Ireland and Iceland. Both countries look so amazing and beautiful. From the natural flora and fauna to the architecture aesthetics. That, and I'm also extremely used to very tropical weathers, anything that is super cold, rainy or just a natural cool temperature is ok with me.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! We haven´t been in Iceland yet but we can´t wait to go there to film too. Ireland is truly an incredible country, you´ll love here for sure! Wish you can visit both countries in the future. 😊
@@mpalmer7800 They speak Irish and English in Ireland. In the Gaeltacht, everyone speaks Irish. Gaeilge (Irish) is the original language of Ireland and it's an official and protected language in Ireland and the EU.
Lovely video thank you! Having grown up in a quite monocultural Dublin and Ireland, I dearly love the energy, vibrancy and richness of our more multicultural country. Thanks to the several new Irish medics who looked after me after a fall last week!
Thank you so much for watching and for accepting different cultures that integrate with Irish culture. I respect and learn Irish culture in my years of stay here. It is very unique and rich. I love Ireland!
Hello.reigne glad you like.ireland its has changed a lot in the last 50.years im 66 its nice to.embrace.different.cultures good luck with your you tube channel
Hi John! Thank you very much for watching my video and for your good wishes. I´m sure that it has been really interesting to see how the country has changed in the last decades. 😊💚
Nice to find a blogger na Kabayan. I hope as also a Filipino like you, witg my degree in electrical engineering, I hope I will have a chance to also work and live there in Ireland.
Hello kabayan! I am not sure with your degree if they will hire you directly. I think you have to study or take an exam. Check irishjobs.ie kung may mga offer. 😊
@@ReigneOrShine Maraming salamat to 'ur prompt response Ma'am. I will try to check on that website. I'm not a Registered electrical engineer, so I concentrated my overseas experience on Job positions like electrical engineer for Building Maintenance and or electrical technician. More of Building Maintenance, Technical side of job designations yung naging linya ko
I am planning to move to Ireland and saw so many people are complaining about the weather, i am also from south asia and now i believe that it will be not a challenge since i've used to live in worse climate conditions
Yeah, weather is often mention as one of the worse aspects of life in Ireland, but it all depends on what we understand by good weather. If someone is expecting constant sunny days and hot summers with ideal beach weather, then Ireland is not their place. For us, the worse of the weather is that it's very unpredictable, so when we are travelling we have to be patient and adapt constantly, but sometimes we are lucky and we have seen some of the best light conditions and sunsets of over life in Ireland. Winter gets long because of the short duration of the days, but not as bad as Scandinavian countries for example. This summer for example, June weather has been lovely and July we had rain almost every day, August is bringing a little bit of both. But every summer is different. Best regards and thanks for watching! :) Hope you enjoy your life in Ireland too!
@@ReigneOrShinewhat is the hottest temperature in ireland? I've seen a clip in swimsuit and it's honestly the first time I've seen a person in swimsuit in Ireland. Considering that they say that the weather is constantly bad, i.e. rainy and cold, I assumed that there is no real summer there and that no one goes swimming. But then again, we are not all the same. I can only swim if the temperature is around 25-30°C and if it is sunny. If it is cloudy and the wind is blowing, there is no way I would swim. As someone who doesn't like winter and has hashimoto's (so I can't stand the cold even harder) that's why I wrote off Ireland and countries like it. But I also can't stand the heat. 😅 Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina where it is currently 20 minutes to midnight and 28°C During the day it will be up to 38°C Hate it!!
@@Bea-xc7wy hello. During heat wave it can reach until 31 degrees. But normal summer temperature is 12-23 degrees. Very random. It’s Irish weather. It can even rain in the middle of summer. But when you live in Ireland, you will get used to it. Been living here for. 5 years and my body has acclimatised with the temperature. 15 degrees without wind for me will be warm already. For example, at 11pm it’s 16 degrees and I feel very warm since we don’t have electric fan at home. 😫 Also it can be because I do cold showers even during winter for recovery since I do sports. I do also ice bath so I have high tolerance to cold now. I do not like hot temperatures like in my home country anymore. 😅
@@ReigneOrShine oh no no, I can't stand cold showers even in summer 😅 Maybe I would somehow get used to the temperature, but it's difficult on cloudy days. I am very depressed when there is no sun and I can barely survive our winter. It gets dark around 4:30, 5 in the afternoon. So if you work, when you get up it's dark, when you come back from work, it's dark. What's the winter like there? Does it get dark like here or is it different. If the temperature in the summer is between 12-23, I guess the winter is extreme haha Also, thank you for your reply. 🙂 I like to learn what life is like in other countries. It is so interesting to communicate with someone who is so far away. Long live the internet!😁
I'm Portuguese and I' d love to visit Ireland. Maybe one day when I get retired. I' d also love to meet someone who would like to visit my town, Viseu ( north of Potugal). She could stay in my house ( not to spend much money) and I ' d be her tourist guide. Thank you for the video. It was really interesting.
Hello Manuela! Thank you so much for watching our video. You’ll love Ireland for retirement but I guess you’ll miss Portugal weather. 😅 But it would be a new experience for you as well. My husband and I would love to visit your town. We checked it in Google and it’s very beautiful! I’ve only been to Portugal once. We visited Lisbon, Porto, Sintra, Lagos, Benegil cave. I love Portugal. I wish to be able to visit your town and stay at your house if given the chance. 🥰
yes!!! We loved it! It's one of our favourite parts of Ireland for sure, we posted a whole vlog of our trip there in case you want to take a look this is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rs2THrx-jTs.htmlsi=ksOzyajl_Jl5zJ1i Thanks for watching and for commenting! 😊🙏🏽🇮🇪💚
Thank you so much for adopting me like one of your people. 🥰 If ever I will leave Ireland, I will always miss it and will have a special place in my heart and will always call it home. 🥰
Hi Regine! Thank you for your videos, it's made me think with more enthusiasm and security to travel there, and to my surprise, you are a nurse! You mentioned an agency that helped you with your documents. Can I ask you more about that agency? I will appreciate your help! Thank you!
Yes! I’m a nurse. I want to validate my nurse documents abroad, but I’m looking for the best alternative between different countries. (Australia, Canadá, Ireland, New Zealand). The opportunities that they offer are amazing. However, know about the personal experiences for others is important for me. Thank you for your answer!
Thank you very much for the video, Love this I am from Sri lanka i have been working as a nurse, I would like to come Ireland and work as nurse in Ireland . these days I am working on it, and i Found some videos they have good and bad but your video is different. than others i 'd like to know about path way thank you very much
Thank you very much for watching and for appreciating our video! Really glad to know that you´re planning to move to Ireland too. I hope you can come soon. For the path I followed it was the following: 1- I got my IELTS certificate while living in Singapore (where I was working as a nurse). 2- I sent my CV to different jobs offers that I was interested in the site Irishjobs.ie, the agencies that work with those hospitals will then contact you. 3- I did Skype interviews and chose one of the hospitals. 4- I prepared all the papers that they asked me. 5- I moved to Ireland and I did the exams at the hospital as soon as I arrive. 6- I passed everything and started working immediately. I think that´s a good summary, I hope it´s helpful. But not all the nurses that I know here from abroad have followed the exact same path. All the best!
Thanks for watching! I wish you the best, hopefully you´ll get the job, there are so many work opportunities here and you´ll love Ireland for sure! 🇮🇪💚😊
thanks for watching and for commenting too! Those places are in Achill Island in County Mayo, we have a full travel video from that trip in case you want to check it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rs2THrx-jTs.htmlsi=XKTaZiMnklOw1jPo All the best! 😊
I was wondering if you could make a video on how you became a permanent resident of Ireland (idk how to word it) I'm moving to Ireland in two years and need help (maybe getting a visa) 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I am not yet a permanent resident. I’ve been living here for more than 4years. 5 years this coming August. They just recently changed the rule when I can apply for permanent resident. I can apply now but I haven’t started preparing my documents. 😅 Maybe I will make a video once I will get it.
Living in Ireland was my dream, in 1999. And I did accomplish my dream. But I paid the price for it. I am a homeless survivor in Dublin. While I appreciate the success of your channel, I was never able to get my voice heard with my story. I loved Ireland just as much as you do, and I still do. But I was robbed in Ireland, and almost died in Ireland. So while happy stories always get the views, it's not fair that sad stories never get to be heard.
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you can find help in Dublin soon, we don’t know how the government is helping homeless people right now, but we have seen some NGOs helping on the streets. We know that renting an accommodation is getting more and more difficult in the city. Maybe trying to reach some of the people working for the NGOs and explaining your story (and others) on RU-vid could help to increase awareness about this problem. We wish you the best. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
You're a nurse! Love it! I'm wanting to study nursing in Ireland I looked at 1 uni where a 4 years bachelor of general nursing cost €37000 it's about €10000/year is a lot unless I can find one less expensive! Any advice on that? Are they all private university colleges? Or are there any government uni who's not that expensive? Thanks 😊
Hi Fiona! Sorry I miss this comment before. Yes, I´m a nurse since 2009. I studied my degree in the Philippines and starting working there, then I moved to Singapore, where I worked for few years before coming to Ireland. Sadly I don´t know about prices here, but I know that it´s very expensive to study in Ireland, sometimes I´ve seen interesting masters or courses, but the prices are always pushing me back to study more here, 😅. For non Europeans the prices are even higher sometimes, then Dublin is currently one of the most expensive cities in the world to live. My husband work in a sports center and some of his younger colleagues are working and studying at the same time to pay for their degrees, even if they live at their parent houses. Dorms for students are expensive and they fill very fast too. Have you thought about maybe checking prices in smaller cities like Galway or Limerick? Everything is getting more expensive in Ireland, but they are still cheaper than Dublin or Cork. To give you an example, my husband Sports Science degree in a public university in Spain was 5000€ for 5 years and his master 1000€ for 1 year. Here, some of his Irish colleagues pay 2000€ for a 2 months fitness instructor course. Not trying to discourage you, but maybe it´s better to study in other country and then you can get hired easily as a nurse in Ireland, we are often hiring nurses from all over the world. 😊 All the best.
@@ReigneOrShine oh my goodness, it's the same here in Australia everything is expensive, I checked on a bachelor of nursing in gualway and it cost 37000€ ($61000 Australian dollar) where in Australia the bachelor of nursing cost $17000 Australian dollar. The difference on prices are crazy ridiculous!. Thank you for responding to me 🤗😊
An excellent frame of mind… A wise person was once asked how would a person know if they were Irish… the questioner asked was it where a person was born, where their parents were born, or even where their grandparents were born, was it the fact that they could speak the Irish language or even was it that they described themselves as being Irish? The wise person paused for a moment, looked the questioner in the eye and with a soft mellow voice they replied…’being Irish is a frame of mind, nothing else matters’. You have the right frame of mind.
Thanks a million for watching our video and for sharing those beautiful words with us! We will probably share them in a future video if you don´t mind. And we are very happy that you think that about our way of living in Ireland. 🙏🏽😊🇮🇪☘️💚
Hi, you're saying early autumn is the time when you don't need to worry too much about rain! Does that mean summer is rainy as well? Love that's not too hot as from Australia and a redhead woman i can't go to an outdoor swimmingpool and I actually hate outdoors in summer it's just unbearable that country sounds perfect for me
Hi Fiona! Thank you very much for watching our video. It rains all year around, but in the last 6 years we have experienced that September and October haven´t been too grey and rainy. This 2024 summer is being particularly rainy with very few days with more than 25 degrees celsius. If you don´t like the heat, then Ireland is great for you, but be careful because if it´s sunny here, the sun is really strong even with 20 degrees, my husband who is from Spain got bad sunburns few times for not using enough sun protection. All the best. 🇮🇪💚🍀😊
thanks for watching! We live in Dublin, which is the capital, the biggest city and where you find more job opportunities, but accommodation is becoming more and more expensive here and hard to get, you could check other big cities like Galway, Limerick or Cork. Good luck! 🙂🇮🇪💚
Thanks for watching! We visited County Waterford to do Wild Camping two years ago: WILD CAMPING in IRELAND | County Waterford | Travel Vlog ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cwlgan339lc.html
Hello. I am not sure if I am the right person to make that video. To be honest, I have very few circle of friends. Most of them are my old friends back from the Philippines. A few I met at my workplace. And just recently, I met a in our dance school. I think the best way is to join groups that do activities. Whatever you’re interested in. Dancing, hiking, paddle boarding, etc.
@@ReigneOrShineYou actually answered it perfectly :) I realized that as great as meet-ups are, it’s better to make friends thru activities I like doing myself. Thanks for the reply! ❤
Hello po, you've worked in the Philippines as a nurse, continued your career in SG then from there you went to IE. You're pathway po is Phils-SG-IE, may I just ask how long did it take you to go in IE? 😊
Hello. Sorry for late reply. Yes un po and pathway ko. Bale nag direct na ako from Sg to Ireland. Kate Cowhig po name ng agency ko na tumulong sa process. It was back in 2018 so I am not sure kung gaano katagal na ngayon ang processing time. It took me probably 2-3 months.
Please I I am a doctor I want to relocate to Irland but I keep on failing my ielts exam. Might someone tells me a way to move to Irland work as a doctor without passing ielts exam. I think I am a dream without ielts there is not way to register with the medical consul. Please if someone has an advices for me. I will totally appreciate it.
Sorry, I don't know if that's possible, all the nurses and doctors that I know here they had to pass the ielts exam in order to work in Ireland. I hope you can pass it in the future. Keep trying, I know some people who failed few times but at the end they were able to pass it. Wish you all the best.
You’re right! There are really good teas in Ireland. In all their cafes, they serve different kinds of teas. I forgot to mention because I’m a coffee person 😅
thanks for watching! Everyone in Ireland speak English, only in some parts of the West coast they speak Irish first, but they will speak to you in English with no problem. They English pronunciation may differ sometimes from the British or the American English, but we got used to it in few months. 🙂
thanks for watching! I would say that there are good jobs opportunities in Ireland right now. At least, most of my friends who are nurses and doctors are mostly happy in their hospitals. Of course, sometimes you have to face situations where we are short of staff, but you can move to other hospitals or other departments inside the same hospital until you find better conditions.
@@dexterdanieltnt if your son is passionate about entering the health sector, that’s great. I must be honest though that he will encounter a lot of challenges because it is never easy to help people in their probably worst moments in their life. But if he is passionate about it, everything will be worth it.
Yes it is. Like I said in the video, there will always be cons about the place but there are more positive things to mention. I am not sure about the fiance visa because I came here with a working visa as a nurse.
I found most Irish had their hands out for a euro. Maybe I should have ventured more into the country, although I found the same thing all through the Ring of Kerry.
Sorry, but that's not actually living in ireland with what u showing there. That's more like being a tourist here. Living in ireland is a completely different story for many here. It can be a hard life. Being dead honest. It can be nice living here. It's a more laid back life style. Cheaper than many other countries like France, Sweden, Canada, America. But to not be bias you should tell us a bit about the cons too. People watching your video might move here thinking life will be a fairytale and later be hit with the reality that there's hardship here.
Thank you so much for watching. The title of my video is called things I LOVE about living in Ireland. And I also mentioned in the video that like in all countries, there are always going to be pros and cons but I chose to not mention the cons because I wanted to keep my video positive. Also, there are many videos online that talk about the “dark side” about living in Ireland most specially Dublin. Again, I chose not to include it here. If people want to know both the pros and cons about living here, there are many videos to watch. I never said that living here is fairytale-like. It doesn’t mean that if I mentioned 5 reasons why I love living in Ireland (for 5 years) it doesn’t mean that I don’t have things that I hate here. I have been physically and verbally abused by teenagers is just one example. But then again, I do not like staying on the negative side. I came from a third world country and I know what hard life is. I have worked in a hospital where people cannot bring their family member’s dead body because they don’t have money to pay the hospital bill. Believe me, I have seen “hard life”. And hard life is one of the reasons why I left home, no matter how heart breaking it is to be away from my aging parents. I am not comparing because like I said in all countries, there are pros and cons. I just want to keep this video optimistic because we live the life on how we choose to perceive it. I face hardships living in Ireland yet I choose not to mention it in this very short video. People have different ways on how to see life. Thank you and have a nice day! 🥰
This will depend on your choice. You can choose to have part time or full time. I learned how to say no to overtimes too. Most employers will respect your decision to keep a work-life balance.
Hello. It depends on the kind of house. If it’s a proper house with front and back yard, pets are okay. But in an apartment, just like ours, it is tricky. However, I’ve seen our neighbours with a dog. 😅
About the rain, well if it rains, just wait 5 minutes and then the weather changes. The weather can change drastically here so I always have an umbrella in my bag. But it’s seldom to have really strong storms just like from my home country.
Thank you for this positive insite of Ireland. The only thing we heard is 10 reason why I hate living in Ireland..... nywe-nywe-nywe(crybaby). What the he'll are you doing in Ireland if you don't like. Are they trees. 🚮 🚮 🚮 .
thank you very much for watching and for appreciating my video! I watched some of those negative videos before and I wanted to share a positive way of looking at the life here instead. We're lucky to choose were to live right now, but if we ever want to leave in the future, we will avoid bringing out negativism to this platform. 😊
Everybody should have a homeland. A place for their nation to live and have a future as a distinct group of people. Asians have theirs. Ireland for the Irish.
I am here because my job was offered to me by the HSE. I am not here illegally. Do you know how many Irish migrated to America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand? Imagine the locals telling the Irish to leave. Your opinion is just an opinion. You left a comment and watched my video are what matters. It will contribute to the algorithm. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Really appreciate it. Have a wonderful and blessed day!
You mean white people migrated to countries created by white people? Legal just means that politicians approved of it without the consent of the people they supposedly represent. Non-whites always have an excuse for being there. Your people did xyz therefore.... Nobody says that Asian or African countries need to be more diverse. Diversity is just about making white populations less white. This is not a matter of opinion. It is fact.
Sorry to hear you had bad experiences here. We have had also some bad moments, but we don´t like to judge a whole country for a small number of people. Specially in the countryside we have often met kind people. Thanks for watching.
