Because of a job offer

What is the main difference with The Czech Republic?

Obviously weather, then geography and people’s mentality

What do you like most about Dublin?

It’s international, quite small (you can basically walk everywhere), lots of water (the sea, canals, river), easy to access (the airport is so close), clean and green

Speak to your colleagues, join every social event you can, go to the streets, speak to people and you’ll see you will like it from the first moment ;)
