My Ireland Blog was my initial motivation to create green is colourful. I started it in 2015, a year after I left my old life in Germany and emigrated to Ireland. It features a variety of topics, many inspired by questions of other Germans, interested in moving to Ireland. Therefore I often focus on things that are different, or better than in my home country. It also contains the odd photo project which helps me paying attention to detail, crucial for writing.

Whereas my Ireland Blog is mainly about myself, I also do Features about fellow expats or other Ireland-related topics. They started out with a mini series called The Foreigners of Greystones – people who I met in my new home Greystones. I loved writing about their emigration story and what Ireland means to them. For anecdotes around family life and our three children, check out my Mammy Blog.
