Description
Hello,
I live in a beautiful small seaside town along the coast in Donegal. There are shops, bars, restaurants, bank, post office all within walking distance. We have quite a good bus service here with the exception of Sunday where it is quite limited if at all.
I have been a workawayer for a few years so I understand the concept of it all and I have been very lucky to have experienced some lovely stays with wonderful hosts.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will be able to experience the real Ireland. Also, I have completed a Tefl course so I can help with learning English.
Help
DIY, painting or some help around my home, nothing too heavy.
I would love to host people who are creative and recycling wood pallets, old tyres etc.
I would ask for 5 hours help per day.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Intermediate
Irish: Intermediate
Accommodation
I would provide you with a private room in a town house with meals. I am not a vegetarian but I don't eat a lot of meat. Some of the time you may have to prepare your own meals.
What else ...
There are lots of opportunities for activities here e.g. hiking, kayaking, cycling and rowing. There is a small airport 40minutes from here. Other airports include Belfast and Dublin, both have good bus services to Derry/Londonderry where I could pick you up.
There are many scenic areas close by and I would very willing to take you to some of these places. I love to meet people from different cultures and share their experiences, so if you would like to come and experience the real Ireland and it's people, send me an email.
