Description
Immediate Need for organizational guru! OCD traits preferred! Need help unpacking and organizing where things go!
Please note: We are not skilled in any of the things we are looking for help with. So if you are looking to learn those skills- we won’t be the right fit!
We bought a 250 year old farm in Ireland on 7 acres. It’s a beautiful wooded setting and 10 minutes from gorgeous beaches you can walk for hours. We are 5 minutes from a pub and a busy town for things to do. We are looking for help in bringing our property back to its full potential. From landscaping, painting, furniture projects and artistic touches like murals on old buildings, there is a need for many different talents! We don’t have children, just 3 dogs and a cat. We have a hot tub swim spa and a kilometer trail around our property. It’s a very serene place. 90 minutes from Dublin. Recommended to rent a car for your freedom to explore. We are not open to hosting children… but well behaved pets are ok!

With Aiden's authentic Irish roots and Tera's sunny Californian personality, you'll be immersed in a diverse cultural exchange that promises to enrich your life.
💖 **Become Part of Our Family Team** 💖
From the moment you step foot on our property, you'll be embraced as a cherished member of our extended family. We believe in fostering a sense of togetherness, ensuring you feel right at home. Our three delightful dogs and the cat with a dog-like attitude will eagerly greet you, making you an instant part of our furry-friendly tribe.
🌊 **Adventure Awaits Just Around the Corner** 🌊
Imagine spending your free time enjoying the stunning Irish coastline, with picturesque beaches just a 10-minute drive away. Delve into the thrill of sea and river kayaking, or unwind in our invigorating swim spa – perfect for relaxation after a day of rewarding work.
🧘♀️ **Expand Your Horizons with Engaging Activities** 🧘♂️
Tera's passion for reformer Pilates will provide you with the opportunity to learn and practice this empowering discipline. Get creative as you join us in painting vibrant murals, carpentry skills, or lending a hand with gardening and trailblazing through our enchanting woods. Whether you're an experienced handyman, artists or gardener extraordinaire, there's a project that suits your interests and talents.
Our home is a hub of learning and laughter. We're excited to share our skills, while also eagerly soaking up your unique experiences and insights. Aiden and Tera thrive on a lively exchange of ideas.

We can't wait to welcome you to our home, where authenticity and fun await. Join us on Workaway for an experience that promises to be as rewarding as it is unforgettable.
Help
Lots of projects to bring this property back to its former glory. We would love to add artistic touches like murals inside the home as well as on large big metal barns. We have furniture projects (refurbishing old and making new from old wood). We have landscaping projects… Clearing weeds with weed barrier to eradicate the bad ones. Renovating planted flower beds and making them better. We have a need for tree help as well.

Accommodation
Private space with your own kitchen. We have a variety of accommodation choices we can discuss options. Either way, you would have your own private space with private kitchen. We would stock the fridge and pantry with basic necessities and items for meals based on your preferences. We don’t cook often, but we would definitely plan some dinners together when you’re here.
What else ...
If your goal is to sight see, we recommend getting a car. Insurance here is strange - it doesn’t cover other drivers so we couldn’t loan our cars. Yuko app is a Toyota based company that rents cars with insurance to people over 21. They are the cheapest option by far in Ireland for a car rental. We are close to Johnston Castle and multiple beaches. We are 45 minutes to Waterford City. And only a few hours drive to Blarney Castle and other Irish attractions!
