How It All Started

Like many of you, I left my comfort zone seven years ago when I moved from my home country to Ireland (Dublin). I faced the challenge of adapting to a new language, pursuing a master's degree, and navigating a new job. But the most valuable part of that journey was the incredible people I met and the friendships I formed. Without them, my experience would have been completely different.

A year ago, I moved to Madrid, Spain, and realized that making new friends in a new city can be much harder, especially when you’re not a student and the language barrier is significant. The first few months were tough, but everything changed when I started attending women’s events in the city. I met women from all over the world, all facing (or faced in the past) similar challenges, and these gatherings not only helped me build friendships but also made me feel truly at home.

Eventually, I began volunteering for one of these organizations, organizing events, and possibly meeting some of you along the way! The joy I felt in bringing together so many inspiring women motivated me to create a space of my own - one where we can connect, laugh, explore new interests, and most importantly, feel like we belong.

And that’s how this community was born: a place to build genuine friendships and support each other as we navigate this exciting chapter together.
