And we want to hear from you – send us a short video message of yourself enjoying life abroad and we will add it to a special programme celebrating the Irish spirit of adventure on the 21st of March on TG4.

All you need is a smartphone in an outdoor location that gives us a clue as to where you are in the world.

Take the video in landscape mode.

Use your Gaeilge! Tell us who you are, where you are from in Ireland, where you are now and what you are up to and what you enjoy about life where you are.

Keep it all to 30 seconds!

In the 5th episode Eibhlín gets a taste of life in a busy kitchen as she joins Head Chef Pól Ó hÉannraich in Dublin’s Bloom Brasserie for a day and finds out what it takes to run a bustling restaurant in Dublin city.

In East Belfast we meet Linda Ervine and others from the Loyalist community who are breaking the mould and taking up Irish classes. The classes are held in a community centre on the Lower Newtownards Road which is bedecked with Union Jack flags.

And we take a look at the traditional and not so traditional wool industry in South East Ireland.
