 that and leaving all of us because she's heading down under down to Australia with her boyfriend Ryan and Grania joins us now on Zoom so we're streaming. Grania, how are you doing? Hello, I'm not so bad, how are you? Yeah, good, good. You're in the car there. I mean, being driven, being driven, okay. You know, we're very safe in the car. I always feel like it's the only place I get paced because if I'm in the house, you can always hear people in the background and cooking and pots and doors and all the rest. So I was like, I'm quite nice in the car. Well, don't mind cooking and pots and doors. It's fine. Even the occasional dog barking. It's fine. Anyhow, you're heading off to Australia. That's the big news was announced what last week or thereabouts. What prompted this? Did you feel like there was a box that had to be ticked or what was it? I kind of do know what I have been on about this for, I would say years, like a long time. And then, you know, yourself, things kind of happened. And there was a lot of kind of things with work, my career that I kind of was like, oh, maybe after this, maybe after this. And I was so lucky, like, don't get me wrong, those opportunities were fantastic. And I, I suppose I just felt like I needed to stay. And then, obviously COVID happened. And that was like, that was, you know, it's hard to believe that was three years ago. So that time kind of feels like it just almost disappeared. Like, I still feel like I'm in my, you know, early 20s. And I'm not, I'm very 30. And I was like, hold on a minute. If I want to go, I, even for the visa alone, you know, I need to go soon enough. So, um, yeah, I kind of just made the decision. And I know when you say things like you're walking away from all this, it's, it is that when you're anyone leaving home is walking away from a lot of, a lot of things like your family and your friends and stuff. So it's, it's not, it's not an easy thing for people to kind of an easy decision for people to make. But I suppose it's one that again, like you said, just a box of tech, just something that I have been on about for so long. So, so it was guess of a time was slipping away and you hadn't done the Australian thing. Do you know what, like every, every single young person, I feel like where I'm going as well, there's going, it's going to be like home away from home because there's so many people that I know over there. And there's so many people even still, you know, deciding and even everyone I talk to, every time I'm like, oh, they're like, I'm going to, oh, I'm going as well. And I'm like, oh, I'll see you there. Oh, it's brilliant. And it seems so far away. But when you get out there, then you realize just that you'll be, you'll be dipping into the Donegal community out there. And the initial community and the Bunkran community. You could say the same, but anywhere, Boston or New York or London. I know, sure. We go everywhere. I mean, everywhere you go, you're going to bump into somebody, you know, I remember when I did a J1, when I was in San Francisco, it was my very first day of work. I didn't know anybody there. And I was walking to my nanny and job. And it was like across the city from where I was staying. And I could hear someone going, growing, growing and it was the only person that I knew in San Francisco. He was out working on the street. And I was like, who's that calling me? I don't know anybody here. So it's funny how, like, we always seem to just. What are the chances of that? What are the chances of that? I know. Yeah. Something similar happened to myself, my wife over in London a few years ago. And we just chatted to this woman before we left. She said, oh, yeah. And something's over there. And Abbie's going to be too busy. And we're only over there for a couple of nights. So we're not going to be bothering them. Came out of Coffin Garden Tube Station. Take a right. Hang on. I know the back of that head. Hang on a second. That's who it was. I know that big Irish head. That's who it was. That's who it was. Anyhow, so what have you lined up for over there? Do you know what? I honestly, I don't have like, you know, everyone's kind of like, what are you doing for work? I honestly, I don't really know. Like, I feel like there is hopefully opportunities for work there. And I have got my nursing registration as well. So I applied for that. And that was kind of a lot of paperwork and stuff to kind of get organized as well beforehand. So I have that as well. I'll have that as an option. You know, I don't really know, though, to be honest, I don't have anything lined up. My sister, she's over there. She's been over there about 10 years. So I'm going to stay with her for the, you know, the first while, do we kind of find our faith? So it's always good when you have somebody, you know, to go over and stay with and I have loads of cousins and stuff as well. So you kind of feel that way a bit more secure that you're not kind of just going somewhere where you don't know anybody and you kind of don't know how to get set up or started. So yeah, that's, that's always nice to have that too. So you've a sister out there and your nursing qualifications all sorted, but something bad, something bad if you're a nurse in Australia and you couldn't find work. Well, I mean, that's what everybody says. Everybody's like, oh, it's so easy. So look, you know, hopefully I'll book grads. But what's your preference? Are you going to go out and try, I don't know, like a TV presenting or modeling or whatever? Are you going to get that to go out in Australia or try? You know what? People have asked me that too. And I honestly, I don't really know. Obviously, we're having problems with the signal from Gronja and maybe in the car and on the move in the car perhaps. So maybe that's, that's what it's about, which is, which is a shame. But I think we've, I think we've pretty much lost that connection there. But Gronja and as you gathered there, Gronja is heading for Australia. And we wish her well. Nothing but the very best. And on the surface of it, you know, leaving behind a brilliant career because there's been the modeling and then the, like on Dancing with the Stars, there was a finalist on there. And then presenting, getting some presenting gigs on the six o'clock show. And I was actually doing a podcast as well and very active on social media and influencer on social media. So, so, you know, leaving a lot behind. But, you know, the glass half full approach would be that, you know, there's, there's a lot out front as well. And Australia worth a shot. Gronja, hello, can you hear me? Oh, hello. Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't even realize I was cut off. I would say that in a way. That's rewinding. So if you could just go back to that. Anyway, as I was just saying, in your absence, as I was just saying, you know, on the surface of it, you're leaving a lot behind. But you also, you know, the, the horizons that could be bright and who knows what lies ahead. Because, you know, there's modeling, there's TV Dancing with the Stars. So you have a presence on TV. There's the the TV presenting on the six o'clock show. There's even a bit of podcasting. Last time was chatting to you or podcasting with your sister and very active on social media and influencer on social media. So, you know, a lot of women are going to be going, Oh, wow, I can't believe she's leaving all that. And I haven't even mentioned nursing. You know what, the world is small at the same time. Like, I hope to continue a lot of that stuff. And, you know, me and my sister are still going to do the podcast. We're going to start or four seasons in and off, you know, we can do that via zoom like this. So, you know, a lot of stuff I'll try and keep up. And, you know, if I do get any opportunities over there, fantastic. And if not, I've given it a go and I've tried it. And, you know, if, if it's not for me, I'll happily come home because I love home as well. You know, like, I, I do love home. I'm not, I don't feel like I'm walking away because I don't like being here. I love being home. But so, yeah. And what about Ryan? Is he, is he, is he being dragged along kicking and screaming? Or is he like, Oh, let's do this. No, and he's been dragged kicking and screaming to a lot of places. But no, he's happy to go. He, again, when kind of when we first met, we talked about this, like that was like 10 years ago. We talked about, we'd love to travel and go away in our 20s. And I suppose your 20s before, you know, it is suddenly almost gone. And you still kind of feel like you so much to do. I suppose we all feel like that. And we'll always feel like there's always things that we'll, we'll want to do. But, you know, everybody feels like that. But it's something that we can do now. And we just like to give it a go and try it. And he's excited for it as well. Brilliant. Well, listen, the best of luck with the adventure. Keep it touched just because it's Australia can't be, you know, it doesn't mean you can't connect by phone or Zoom or whatever. And even with even with the time difference. And so when do you head it's next month? Yeah, we're the 12th of April as well. We go. So it's very soon now. I feel like I've loads of time, but I don't really. So I need to get organized. I need to get packing and all the rest. Absolutely. A one way ticket. Yes. Yeah. Oh, well for now. And then we'll see. Okay. Well, listen, Grania, to yourself and Ryan, the very best and, and hope it all works out to plan or to no plan, but I hope it all works out. Thanks, John.
