I recently decided to take a year off at my university in the US and move somewhere new to help me get my life in order and see a bit of the world. I'd love to get in touch with my roots and some really cool people in Ireland, but I'm afraid of the cost of living being too high and having trouble finding a temporary job (like serving in a restaurant or coffee shop). I'd prefer living in a fairly rural area, but would obviously need to rent somewhere.
Could I get by on a few thousand dollars over there for a couple of months and would I be able to find temporary work and a good place to stay while I check out the beautiful country? Would you recommend this sort of excursion to Ireland, or should I go to Guatemala or China (the other top two on my list)?
