About "Us" Below

What brings us happiness! Wine and dogs for one :)
But mostly traveling, new experiences and meeting new people. We are very people "people" and love to share stories.

We both moved to London around the age of 18/19 because we wanted to explore and see what else the world has to offer. We became best friends through working together and then living together. Through that time we learnt that we both have a found love for wine and of course traveling, exploring and just learning about everything and anything.

Every now and then we always have a 'Wine Night', in which we both drink wine and talk about everything and anything. On one of these wine nights, we both decided that we have gained/learnt everything we can for what London has to offer and we have loved every minute of it. We thought, it's time to step it up. So we both bought a ticket to NYC and ready to keep exploring.

A bit about us individually...
Ciara:
I grew up in a small town on the West cost of Ireland. I studied nursing and then decided to defer to London for the wider opportunities the City had to offer.
After a very intense run in Heath Care, I decided I needed something more social to fulfil the social butterfly in me. Through that time I met so many amazing people from all over the world and created some amazing memoires that I will never forget.
After a few years of hospitality I threw myself into being a Teaching Assistant for primary school children - I absolutely loved it and even had my own subject to invest in. I began teaching Phonics for an hour everyday. But due to the pandemic really effecting teachers and schools I decided to take a break from it. I hope to eventually get back into teaching and hopefully finish my teacher training. :)
I am massively into astrology and star signs (ask Georgia she will tell you I'm a Libra & she's an Aquarius FYI). I have found so much comfort in this and learnt so much about myself as well as the ones close to me. I'm quite spiritual but have always been so interested in everyone else's belief and what they find comfort in.
LOVE my music and will belt out any song no matter where! Always up for a laugh and as Georgia says my quirkiness will make you belly laugh as it does her.
My dog Luna is everything to me and and definitely resembles my personality! I love people and family's, my mum is my world and she brought me up to learn that everyone is different and that's what makes us special. I think it's thanks to her, the reason why one day I will have a big family of my own!

Georgia:
I grew up in a small summer prime time town on the coast of Devon. I started working from a very young age because I love being able to do things for myself. I worked a few different jobs even throughout studying at school. I studied things like Drama & Theatre, Media & Film, Art & Photography and Business.
I decided at the age of 18, after I finished school to move to the city London on my own and explore what else was on offer. I started working in Pubs from night jobs to managers roles to be able to support myself through taking a Method Acting course, which was one of the best decisions I made. It taught me so much about myself and met some of the most incredible people from all over the world that have become life long friends. I now currently work in Sales & Events doing weddings, birthdays, reunions and business parties. I mean who doesn't love a good party?!
I am so passionate about Method acting and honestly could talk for hours about the filming industry (this is when Ciara sips on the wine).
I love doing DIY I used to build sheds, decorate rooms and gardening in the summer. I love drawing and painting (although not very good, but that doesn't stop me). I love learning languages I'm currently trying to master Hungarian as my Step mum and family are from there.
My dog Leo is my world and is definitely the one that taught me patience haha!
I am always up for helping anyone and learning new skills, even if I don't know how to do it, I will at least give it a go. You don't know until you try!
