I'm originally Dutch but have been in Ireland for almost 9 years now.
The lock-down measures have opened my eyes a bit, as well as taken its toll (like for so many), and I realized that I don't want to be stuck on an island.
A huge island but still an island. I've been feeling a bit trapped but that could just be me because I've always been a bit restless. Although I've had this idea in my head to start organizing trips through Ireland 'off the beaten path'. Who knows? Maybe one day I will. I don't necessarily have to live here for that. I guess you might say that I have a love/hate relationship with the place.
My heart is in SE Asia, and this became very evident after our trip to Thailand last November. I lived in Asia many years ago, and I've never quite been the same since.
