    Arrived as a tourist in Sept 07. Got a job here for the winter 'cos two mates from home were on WHVs arrived here six weeks before me, and had found jobs and a flat.

    The mates went home. The contract got extended, and I met a man. The contract ended, and I would have moved on (to pretty much anywhere I could get work) - except for the man!

    Love the music, cultural scene, sheer amount of creative energy in the city. Love that it's small and walkable (living in the centre). Hate the job situation. And perish the thought of ever getting sick given the health system here.

    All of my life
    Born in the regional but was brought up in the Wild West. I’ve been living in Galway town since 1993, bar a year in London (baby) and a year Down Under. I love Galway.

    My whole life. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the place. I love the people, the food and the nightlife, but I hate the roads with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

    I see its mostly native galwegians so far, but a fair few blow-ins.

    I moved in 2000 for uni and aside from 2 years living elsewhere and travelling, I now consider it my home.

    I've lived here for 21 out of my almost 25 years. Moved here because my parents wanted to. Very glad they made that decision.
