London to Cork ✈️
Why did you decide to move home?
While we spent over a decade living and working abroad, Cork was always home and we knew we would return to and raise a family here at some point. It has everything we want, beautiful countryside, great beaches, a vibrant city, a well connected airport for work travel. Most importantly we are now close to our families and our friends and you can't put a price on that.
What did you miss the most about home?
Initially it was mainly the people. To be perfectly honest, when we were younger, living outside of Ireland was exciting and we probably didn't miss home a huge amount! We loved being able to travel across Europe easily and enjoyed the new cities and cultures we found ourselves in. However, as we got older and had a child our priorities slowly shifted. We wanted that sense of security that being in Ireland and being at home gives us.
What are you enjoying the most about being back home?
We are most enjoying catching up with friends and family that we haven't seen enough of over the past 10 years. We also love things like watching our daughter pick up a hurley and sliotar after she had seen the older girl next door playing! For us, Ireland delivers family, friends and community, something that we just can't replicate elsewhere.
