  Description

  Hi! I’m Harriet and I live in Dublin, Ireland.
  I have a large garden that I am currently renovating and I need some help with general garden tidy up, and starting a new vegetable garden. I also have some indoor projects to do such as painting.
  My house is close to the city centre with a bus into town just outside the door.
  In my spare time I love swimming, cooking, and horse riding, and I speak French and a bit of Spanish!
  I love meeting new people and have travelled a lot in the past - now that I can’t travel so much anymore I would love to experience new cultures through hosting workaways.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I live in the city, so it is a great opportunity to explore Dublin and the east of Ireland. I spend a lot of time sea swimming and riding my horse, so I would love to share those hobbys.
  I love learning languages and cooking.

  Help

  Any gardening skills would be amazing, especially growing vegetables.
  However I don’t think serious experience is needed for my garden.
  Also any experience with painting would be so helpful.

  I speak quite good French and a little bit of Spanish, but I love learning! I am trying to learn some Greek and some Arabic, but I am open to trying any language. I would love to improve my French and Spanish too.

  Accommodation

  I have a large spare double bedroom with private bathroom in my house. The living area is spacious with a nice kitchen and dining area.
  I am open to cooking for the guests, or allowing them to cook for themselves, whatever is most comfortable for everyone.
  I live close to many shops, bars and restaurants, so there are always lots of options.
  I am mostly vegetarian, but I don’t mind if my guests want to cook meat for themselves.
  I have a very friendly, casual home, and my main rule is that you make yourself comfortable and at home.

  What else ...

  There are great transport options into Dublin City centre, and maybe ways to explore other parts of Ireland (train and bus) etc. I also have a car and would love to show guests my favourite places.
  I cycle around the city a lot as it is a great way to get around so can provide a bike too.
  There are many things to do and explore in and around Dublin!
  
  I am a single woman so my preference would be for a female guest, but this is not a strict rule.
