Yasmin Rather

Yasmin Rather is a 24-year-old nurse from Galway, Ireland, who has recently relocated to Australia for work opportunities amidst the challenging cost of living in her home country. After completing her nursing qualification in 2023, she sought a better work-life balance and financial stability, leading her to leave Ireland in January 2024. Currently living in Melbourne, Rather reflects on the homesickness she experiences during the holiday season while embracing the supportive Irish community that has helped her adjust to life abroad.
