🔎 EXCERPT 🔎
So many people ask “What about retirement in Ireland?”
So the time has come for us to have that talk.
I have been there, and to be honest, the weather is… not like Greece.
However a pleasant climate is not everything, and after talking with locals, and expats who moved to Ireland
I realized this island indeed has some nearly mystical qualities - and very palpable advantages.
So today you will know the pros, the cons, and certain truths that only locals know.
And by the end of this video, I will explain why Dublin is not the best place in Ireland
but instead, there is a more attractive place - that might be just what you are looking for.
Ready?
Let's start with the Pros, and as always, I will not about obvious things, like the fact that Ireland has no language barrier,
since English is the most spoken idiom, and you will not need to learn a completely new language
(Of course, you can try to learn Gaelic, which is the other language in Ireland, and I bet you will have a lot of fun doing so)
I will also not mention that the weather is frequently cloudy and windy.
Those things a smart audience, like the one watching this channel, already know.
But let's talk about some untold advantages of Ireland, things that locals know very well.
The first pro will talk about is great for Americans: Ireland is much closer to the US than other European capitals.
And that makes airline tickets from Dublin to the US also much cheaper.
Ireland has the second lowest prices for flying from Europe to the US.
Ireland’s location makes it convenient for those who have family or friends in the U.S. or U.K. Flights from Dublin to cities like New York or Boston are frequent and relatively short.
Ireland has excellent infrastructure, especially in terms of airport and airline connectivity
The Dublin Airport is one of the 15th largest in Europe,
Despite Dublin having just half a million residents, its airport is larger than the equivalents of much larger cities like Vienna, Athens, or Warsaw
From there you can fly to nearly every European country, and also multiple cities in North America, Africa, and Asia.
And let's remember that Ireland is the country of Ryanair.
