    Hi ,

    I am a 23 yo female professional and have just relocated to Dublin from London/Paris to work in banking. I have never been in Dublin and dont know anyone which is my main issue.
    I would like to meet new people and make friends. I like socializing and going out clubbing(spoiled with choice in London).

    Whats the best way to meet other people with similar interest and background?Do you know any useful sites? I came across Internations and Meet up?

    Any recommendations are welcome. :)

    Hi,

    Meetup.com is a good resource there are a number of socialising groups
    -Social Mixer, New and Not So New, New Friends & Faces and some International ones too.

    Couchsurfing.org is also good.There are some groups on there where people arrange to go clubbing, travel etc.

    There are a lot of young international people in Dublin either learning English or working in technology jobs such as Google, Facebook etc. so you shouldn't have a problem finding like minded people.

    There is loads of groups on facebook for international people living in Dublin (ie expats in Dublin, Couchsurfing Dublin, etc.).

    I'm a 22 yo girl and I moved to Dublin a few months ago, but I'm still looking to meet new people if you ever wanna meet for a coffee!

    Dublin has a huge amount of non nationals with most nationalities having their own bars eg there is an Italian bar, Czech bar, Russian bar in Dublin. A lot of non nationals make friends in ethnic shops.

    But tbh you should have no issue meeting people from your home country in Dublin with all the foreign firms in Dublin
