Claudia Sebastian, a Spaniard living in Dublin, explained her reasons for relocating in a TikTok video, citing better job opportunities and higher salaries. Though she acknowledged that many Irish people find her choice puzzling, she lamented their perception of Spain as a carefree nation, unaware of the struggles faced by some locals.
When Claudia Sebastian left Spain to start a new chapter in Dublin, her decision raised more than a few eyebrows. The Spaniard hoped Ireland would offer better job opportunities and financial prospects, but her move left locals questioning her choice. In a candid TikTok video, Claudia explained her reasoning: “I moved to Dublin because of the money. I came to look for a job because there are more opportunities here and better pay.
