    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Living on a small, western Island is very unique. You will hardly find a more unspoilt place in Ireland. There are only 60 of us living here, so you'll likely get to know the local people at the community club and learn their stories. Live in a crime and pollution free island (just imagine the freedom).

    Help

    Paddy and I need help in and about our home, daily chores.
    You could help feeding the dogs, hens and collecting the eggs or help us in our small vegetable gardens, as we grow vegetables for our own use.
    We may need help with the sheep, especially during the lambing season (March/April).
    We'd prefer to host helpers with at least an intermediate level of English in order to facilitate communication.
