Best of luck on your next adventure, Ana. You'll do great wherever you go as you're very clear on what your values are. Such a shame we didn't get the chance to meet up though. Who knows, maybe in the future somehow 😊

Come to nz and be my wife lol

Can see some points but….

Cold in july with a jacket on??? Avg temp in Dublin for july is 19°C….

Any recent blood analysis? You probably are VERY low on D Vitamin. That deficiency causes depression.

Scandinavians are one of the happiest people in Europe and their weather is much worse.

Remember the scandinavian adage: there's no bad weather, just inapropiate clothing.

Moldavia where you're from gets much colder in the winter.

There are no mountains to ski but ever thought about taking up surfing, sailing or something like that?

You've summed it up in one line- there is no perfect place. You don't get everything, no matter where you go in this world. There will always be some sacrifices or some drawbacks.

Masha allah so beautiful you..

Fully support and understand you. Ireland is the most expensive country in the EU along with Denmark but the standard of living is incomparable. I moved to Ireland from Latvia when I was 16 years old 17 years ago. I had it all in Ireland such as education and a good job but it’s impossible to advance to higher positions if you’re not Irish. Even in a well known multinational company. Income taxes are ridiculous, I felt robbed every time I saw my payslip. Infrastructure does not reflect the amount of taxes that people are being robbed of. To buy a house is a nightmare. People are nice but so two faced and impossible to make friends that last for more than a night out, university semester etc. I loved the nature and the magical woodlands but even those are being destroyed now and all cut out. All because of greed. I have dogs and finding a normal place to live was impossible. So I was looking for other options and was lucky enough to secure a job in Switzerland and been living here since the beginning of July. I have not looked back and do not miss Ireland in the slightest bit. I live on the border with Germany and France is an hour drive away too. There are so many things to go to and explore that I think I will never run out of new places to visit. I feel so free and without a worry in my life that my mental health has improved immediately. The only thing here is that there are not a lot of partying going on but I have had my share, and can live without it, and if really want to, I can afford to travel anywhere I want. In just three months, my bank account was 10k+ without even trying to save. I am spending money left and right and have so much left over. All because the income taxes here are so low and my salary compared to Ireland has more than doubled. Don’t be fooled by people saying that you should live in the moment and work on yourself. I was doing all that in Ireland too. All the spirituality stuff and all. Even therapy. It helped a bit but nothing helped me more than being appreciated at work and not feeling like a prisoner on an island that is hard to leave even for a holiday. Move girl, the younger you are the better. You are doing the right thing. Ireland is going down every year and the Irish put up with it as they live in a bubble. Those who don’t, have left the country too.

Ana-Maria,

I urge you not to listen to those who are in agreement with you in the comments here: they can only teach you how to feel depressed. It is incredibly easy to feel extremely happy and full of energy every single day — but you cannot live in the manner that most people do. It is also extremely easy to be more physically beautiful at 40 years of age than at 25.

Firstly, what you are doing wrong: you are seeking very regular novelty and excitement — which is to say, shots of dopamine — from external sources, such as environment, social activity, and food. All this does is flood your dopamine receptors, making it impossible thereafter to feel pleasure in any of the little things in life; hence leaving you feeling depressed. We evolved to live in much simpler natural environments. Your goals in life thus far have all been too externally focused. The only goal that matters in life is that of internally-created happiness — 100% an internal creation.

Secondly, there are non-negotiable rules for how to be physically healthy in life. Most importantly, you can never ever eat any sugar: it is disgusting for health. This includes fruit except for kiwis, lemons, and berries; you should never drink fruit juice. You must make vegetables — kale, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots — the most important part of your diet. At the beginning, this will taste very boring and bland due to the fact that you have trained yourself to chase dopamine shots. After a while, however, vegetables alone will begin to taste wonderful. The only meat you need for protein is chicken fillet — 150 grams per day.

As regards the nightlife you seek, this is incompatible with healthy living: if you stay out late — or, even worse, eat — at night, your health by the time you are 40 will be like that of the majority of people; which is to say, terrible. You should be in bed by 10:30 every night, having turned out your lights (for yoga and meditation) at least 30 minutes beforehand. Jumping straight out of bed at 7:00 the next morning, the absolutely most important thing to do in life — within an hour of waking — is to get outside for a short (or long, if time allows) walk for the purpose of getting sunlight into your eyes: it is crucial to set your circadian rhythm in this way every single day.

As regards the warm sunny climate in some other European countries like Spain, it can be horrible in the summer; and in places like the Canary Islands, the air quality is disastrously unhealthy on a very frequent basis due to dust from the Sahara Desert. Ireland has amongst the best air quality in the world; and a cultural backdrop that is peaceful, and populated by arguably the friendliest people in the world. You just need to know how to live astutely. Happiness and health are all about your internal management of your own neurochemicals, and your taking responsibility for scrupulously shaping your own internal perception of reality in every moment. I wish you healthy and beauty, Ana-Maria, for countless decades to come.

maybe try singapore

Isn't it colder in your homeland?

Wow.. Ireland isn't a paradise but you make money there so if you're a materialistic person it's great for Instagram when you're in Spain haha Wow the humility this type of personality will go down great in Latin America or Southern Europe where ppl love flattery.. I'm Irish in Spain; now it's cold here.. Taking a break from Ireland will make you see reality

Tbh I think some of you reasons are pretty strange 😂 – I think Ireland is a very small island with a poor climate sums it up. The whole thing about body positivity etc is a hang up you’re kind of inventing yourself. I totally get that you feel a bit frustrated etc but I just feel you’ve totally over thought this. Ireland is too small, too dull and too rainy for many. That’s completely understandable and a valid reason for wanting to leave! Everything else you mentioned is a bit made up to my mind. There are going to be issues like that everywhere you go – but at least there might be nicer weather, more things to do and. Larger area to explore. Overall I’d say your feelings are completely normal – you’ve seen and experienced all of the tiny island that you want. Now it’s time to try something else. Good luck 👍🏼🍀

l hear you about that apartment for 30 years, it's crazy.

I don’t understand your point about having nothing to do. Every town in Ireland has clubs of all kinds (athletics, hiking, etc.) you could join. Did you not check for such activities in your locality?

I think you may like Spain 🙂

Nice frank commentary – good you mention maybe depression as well. Your dream of your own house even if single (with garden, hedgerows, chicken coop….kidding!) is so Irish or at least Irish in the 20thC, so delusional as well! That dream is vanished forever in the developed world unless you're millionaire/maybe billionaire or Bono. Many posts here on the weather – four decades visiting, one or two days rain! I am aware several travel writers have reported torrential rain for 30-40 days. The dodgy climate is all that protects Ireland from being overwhelmed.

Great video! I literally feel the same, been in Ireland back in 2012 for 6 months only and then the UK in 2014. On November 22 I will be leaving the UK for the fourth time as I understood that my place is not really here. The cost of living is ridiculous and you get nothing back so I decided to go back home to Romania where I have all of my loved ones, and my warm cozy big, and full-of-light flat, I have access to remote jobs and am overall financially more stable. It's perfectly understandable how you feel as I was and still am in the same situation and looking forward to seeing what your next journey will bring. Kisses & hugs xoxo

You seem like an ideal candidate to join my sailing adventure from Ireland to tahiti. You need a major change ..sunshine and adventure.

Met a Brazilian guy in Dublin who said he loved Ireland due to the safety from crime and poisonous animals. when I mentioned the weather he said it was easier to stay warm in Ireland than to keep cool in Brazil. You need to join a dance class and make more friends.

Bying a house does not mean you're stuck and especially when you're divorcing your partner, you can sell it you know..🤔

Apply to Australia, they need people here, however, it has it's problems too. If you want to live in a western "cultural" countries you need to accept there is a price, no matter where you choose.

You are just a miserable person. Give out about everything. Literally! God help the person that ends up with you. There is loads to do in Ireland. Weather is fine. You just didn't bother integrating or mixing at all.

Move to England. It is much better in North west and houses are more affordable

😢

You have your whole life in front of you and I wish you all the best in your future life

Where would you like to move?

i started following you in 2020, and now i am in Ireland, and i thought to connect with you but you are leaving .. its not fair.. after watching your this video.. i fully agree with all your points.. please start following any spiritual discourse and it will help you overcome and pass current difficulty and give strength in these difficult times. hope you get good life ahead. watching your vlogs were fresh breath of air, keep continue the good work.
