WELCOME

Since moving to Vancouver from Ireland two years ago, I've had many emails asking about life in this part of the world so I'm putting all I know onto this blog to help you with your plans. Scroll down to find more info on accommodation, neighbourhoods, rent, jobs, city information, traveling and general bits and pieces to do with Vancouver. Feel free to leave comments or questions and I'll get back to you.
Now get yourself over here.

Position available...



I've neglected this blog for quite a while mostly because I've been traveling in foreign parts.

I'm not even sure who reads this, but for the few souls that do happen across it from time to time, I thought I'd let you know that I'm moving back to Ireland (pause; re-read, think to yourself, "is she serious?"). As the mass exodus from Ireland continues, we're going back into the thick of it. As a famous adman once said, when the world zigs, zag.. Or something like that.

I will leave this blog up for a while in the hope that people find it useful or briefly entertaining or terribly offensive. Or, if anyone would like to take it over, let me know (the picture of the empty chair in my garden is a weak metaphor for me looking for someone to take over...) Or even if you just have some suggested topics or thoughts on any Vancouver related things that you might have liked to know about when you first moved here, I'd be happy to post them.

In the meantime, I've a few more things that I've thought of, now that the summer is here. Oh Vancouver summers, I will miss you. I hear its thunder and lightening in Dublin today.

  1. Why on earth would you ever come back here? I'm trying my best to emigrate back there!

  2. Hi Anna,

    Got to ask the same question - why on earth would you move back?!?

    Hope you don't mind if I post a link to my own blog here? canadamove.wordpress.com. I'll be keeping it up to date with tips and tricks on moving to Canada, there is also an ebook for anyone interested - it is on lulu.com and will be on Amazon in the next day or so.

  4. Thanks for your comments!
    Anton - happy to post a link to your blog.

    Eva - glad you enjoyed reading this. Good luck with your move

    We've had an awesome time over the past two and a half years. But in the end we decided that as nice as it is over here, it's not home and we really wanted to go back to our family and friends. Obviously we realise that we've been really lucky to get good jobs back in Dublin so we've decided to go for it!
