As we all may know, i am assuming by now, I caught the travel / adventure bug quite early in my life. Granted, i took a little bit of a hiatus, but i am back on track! I have been all over the USA, Canada, Mexico, Morocco, and now 80% of Europe as of my European Extravaganza almost two years ago and i love it!!
I love seeing new places and meeting new people and just enjoying life and the world and what it has to offer.
So... with that in mind... i remembered my brother Marc, many moons ago, researched Dual Citizenship with Ireland and as it turns out, we are eligible! It is through direct decent, so basically what that means is we received it because our grandparents were born there. If we went any further up the family tree, we wouldn't be able. So, thank you Nana!!!
Anyway, before i left for my trip in 2007, i filled out all the necessary documents, with originals and what-have-you and sent them off to the Irish Consulate... and low and behold 18 months later, i received my Foreign Birth Registration. I am now an IRISH CITIZEN!! WAHOOOOOOO!!!
Now... since i am an Irish citizen, i am entitled to live and work anywhere in the European Union (EU) without any visa issues! it is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! .... oh and when i have children (whenever that may be) :-) they will be Irish Citizens, too! FABULOUS!
So.. knowing all that lovely information I have decided to Hop the Pond and try living in LONDON!
Hence... LIVING LA VIDA LONDON...
I will be updating this blog every couple of weeks, so please, check in on me from time to time!
Hope you are well!
Have a great 2009!!
Love always,
Rachel
