In episode 10 of The New Residents Podcast, we're delving into the essence of community, highlighting how newcomers can actively engage through volunteering. Our first guest, Paola Collins, originally from Colombia, arrived in Ireland in 2017 after tying the knot with a Kerry native.
Paola's journey into the community began with volunteering, notably at Kfest over the past few years. She shares her enriching experiences, detailing how volunteering has not only facilitated friendships but also instilled a sense of belonging. Paola eloquently expresses her affection for Kerry, showcasing the warmth and inclusivity of its community.
Julia has volunteered in various festivals since coming to Kerry and also recently embarked on her own volunteering journey at Kfest, which significantly aided her integration into Kerry life.
And last but not least, yours truly, Niamh Daly, will be sharing insights into all things Kerry, including my top 5 recommendations to experience the very best the Kingdom has to offer.
Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of community, volunteering, and the magic of Kerry.
