    Hello to all, I'm a newbie here.
    A little background. I'm waiting for my dual citizenship, and will be moving to Ireland from Philadelphia, PA USA. In the meantime I want to make some Irish friends. I have so much to ask. I have been to Ireland in the past, and it is calling me. I'm an artist & used to be a Graphic Designer (well, still am). I worked as a designer/art director for 40 years & now have my own business. I'm getting ready to retire. So, I want to go to Ireland and paint out my days.
    Thanks for accepting me to this site.

    Where in Ireland were you planning to reside? Ireland is very diverse historically and culturally in terms of where you may decide to live; e.g., Dublin is very different from Galway or Cork; urban Ireland is different from rural Ireland, etc.

    I have been both to Cork, Galway & Dublin. I first was going to move to Clifden, Co. Galway. I still might or I'm moving to Donegal City. It's according to the availabilty of rental properties when I go.

    Maybe you left something behind the last time and you might have misunderstood the the accent on the phone call. Any chance you left a jumper/sweater behind you in a B&B?

    Well Clifden is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and I've seen quite a few, so I'd move there in a moment with the chance...

    Check out Westport too. Some ridiculously good value on homes there at the moment...

    Enjoy

    Just saw "rental" in your post. Google Westport rentals because as an artist you'll never need to look for inspiration again...
