Digital Nomad Life in Ireland

"Expats in Ireland can join clubs or take part in activities that are tailored to their interests. These might include hiking clubs, photography clubs, book clubs, and music clubs. Additionally, the Irish can easily attend multicultural events and get-togethers throughout the country. These events offer a great opportunity to meet people and learn more about different cultures. Expats can also reach out to their local community by joining neighbourhood organisations and committees. This could bring them in contact with Irish people, other expats, and can offer plenty of opportunities to socialise. Another way for expats to meet people is through work or school. Whether they're teaching, volunteering, or simply attending a course, this makes for a great point of connection with the locals," explained one expat living in Ireland.

"meetup.com has great groups (organized by interests) that get together often. Also, if you're living in Dublin alone, don't be afraid to go out to the pub or out to eat on your own. I'm a major introvert, so pushing myself to actually go sit at a pub alone, with people potentially judging me, was very daunting. But you know what, 4 different people came up and started conversations with me. The 2nd time I did it, I met the guy who is now my boyfriend of six months, and acquired a great group of friends," said one person in Dublin.

"Sports clubs are alwys good - it's a sports-mad city, following soccer and rugby as well as traditional Gaelic games. There's a good range of night classes, and many people use these as a social outlet and way to meet new people. Cultural life centres on the university and the Beltable theatre. Main social life revolves around the pub, but you may make your friends in other fora, then proceed to socialise with them there," said one expat who made the move to Limerick.
