-
- Sociedad y cultura
Moving across the world to another country can be hard, but it's easier when your significant other is a local. "From My Home To Yours" follows the journey of Bernadine (Irish) & Matthew (Australian) moving their lives from Australia to Ireland. They leave no stone unturned as they discuss the logistics and planning needed to make the journey successful, and the emotional upheaval of making a new life together halfway across the world.

MINI-SODE: It's just a Sos Beag
A Special Message from Matt & Bernadine:
"From My Home To Yours has been running for 15 weeks straight, and you've been with us for the episodes in Australia, in Ireland AND on an aeroplane! We've come so far together, and we want to thank you for being with us on this journey.
It is for this reason, we're going to take a "sos beag", or "a little break" from recording episodes for the next month. We're at the stage now that we'd like to live the Irish life a bit, and come back to you with more stories, advice, experiences and progress in our expat/repat journey.
Remember to "light the f***kin' candle" and keep drinking the tea! Follow us on Instagram (@FMHTYpodcast) and we'll see you all in October!"

INTERVIEW: Preparation is key! With Sarah & Lucia of Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project
As you are thinking about your big move to Ireland (or anywhere, for that matter!) it's important to do as much as you can to prepare in anticipation of every aspect of your life in your destination country. This includes immigration requirements, preparing funds, tax implications, working visas... and that's just to get you started!
Lucky for Ireland, the Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project is here to help! Crosscare Irish Diaspora Support Project is a non-profit organisation established in 2022 as a project of Crosscare and funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs/Government of Ireland’s Emigrant Support Programme, which has been supporting Irish emigrants for decades.
Join Matthew this week as he talks to Sarah Owen (Project Leader) and Lucia Guzikowski (Communications Officer) from the Project about everything they provide, how their expat backgrounds have brought them to Ireland and put them in a unique position to help others coming to the country.
