Mariella, 50 years old, from the region of Piemonte, Italia. In Galway, Ireland, to realise her longstanding dream of living there and open a restaurant with her daughter.
When did you fall in love with Ireland?
“I fell in love with Ireland when I was 18 y.o. It’s a longstanding dream! It was when a friend of mine was telling me stories about her experience as au-pair in Ireland.
To hear her tell about those landscapes, people, about how much more easier was the life in Ireland, less stressful. Then, looking at her pictures… So here is the moment when I fell in love with Ireland, and I said: sooner or later, I have to go there!”
For how long will your stay here?
“Well, I hope forever.”
What are the differences between working in Ireland and in Italy?
“The best and positive difference about living in Ireland, compared to Italy, it’s the age. While in Italy it’s necessary to be in a range of specific parameters […], in Ireland it doesn’t matter.
And I think it’s impressive! […] If you lose your job at 40s, or even worse at 50s, it means that you’ll never get a job again.”
