Best Place to Be – RTÉ One
Baz Ashmawy travels across Europe meeting Irish people who have uprooted the lives they had in Ireland to make a home elsewhere.
Over the six episodes he meets a variety of Irish people who have made a new home abroad and gets the lowdown on their new country when it comes to how they live, work and play.
On his travels, Baz visits Portugal, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Cyprus, and Belgium. In each place, he spends time with Irish people learning about their lives, finding out why, for them, it’s The Best Place To Be.
