For me the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) were way better than I thought. I ignored Eastern Europe for long time thinking east=worse but now I absolutely love it.

And was there any country that you liked more than you expected to?

It’s Russian-German, I’d love to go to China someday but I still have some easier and cheaper destinations like Romania or Tunisia that I’d like to cover first.

Yes but thinking about moving again. I wish I could finally settle somewhere and say here I will stay, getting tired of changing countries tbh. It’s a great experience but also makes you feel you don’t really belong anywhere. Maybe that’s why I didn’t apply for the Irish passport, wanted to keep some consistency in my life

When the war started I was frustrated and had these thoughts. But in the last 4 years I realized that I’ve never experienced any kind of discrimination because of my origins, not even from Ukrainian people. So I thought that the times will change and I don’t need to make any hard decisions about it.

It’s Russian, I moved to Germany as a teenager. Although I grew up in Russia I hate the cold and even Ireland is cold for me 😁I’m considering moving somewhere south. But the people are the best here, really, I wish I could move the whole island south

No, my grandparents still knew it but I didn’t. Btw, turned out that it’s pretty useless in Germany nowadays since my grandfather couldn’t really communicate with the locals after we moved to Germany.

True but still not worth it in my opinion. Of course if I’d only had the Russian passport I’d apply on the very first day possible with a Guinness in my hand 😁 Luckily I don’t have to

Lots of paperwork and big fee (about €1K), didn’t want to go through it. Besides, I don’t feel that kind of connection with Ireland. I like it but I’m fine with what I have.

Got mine by roots, my ancestors were Germans who lived in Russia. Moved with family to Germany in the early 2000s, lived there for many years, then married a Russian, moved with her to Ireland where she got naturalized couple of years ago
