Make moving and living to Ireland less scary and stressful.

Your Expat Guides
We're Julia and Samora
Together, we moved to Ireland over three years ago. It was on very short notice and in less than a week, we had to figure out everything to get our new lives started.
We figured out our own path eventually after many, many hours spent on research. We had amassed so much knowledge and information, it would be a pity not to share it. We created this concise course with supplemental materials to help others move to, live and thrive in Ireland.
