“Living in Ireland for seven months, I feel like I’m retracing my steps and entering a new cycle of challenges — even feeling like a child learning to read and discovering new words.”
A new chapter at 30
Pedro Kaio is Brazilian, from Cabrobó in Pernambuco. At 30, he describes life in Ireland as a chance to rediscover himself, learn again from the beginning and face challenges outside his comfort zone.
Leaving home
Moving abroad meant leaving family, routines and familiar surroundings behind. Pedro says that building a support network has been essential, and that the Brazilian community in Ireland helped him feel welcomed while he adapted.
Work, resilience and learning
Pedro has worked from a young age and sees value in every type of work. Living abroad has added another layer of resilience while he continues improving his English and building a new daily routine.
Looking forward
He wants to keep travelling, improving his English and using his experiences to encourage other people to believe in themselves and embrace new beginnings.
This story is presented in Pedro’s own spirit and reflects his personal journey.
