Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My husband and I have both travelled all over the world and experienced many cultures. We know what it is like to visit a new country and how to feel welcomed. We are happy to advise on day trips around our area and are both keen surfers/cycle/sail/hike etc so you could borrow our sports gear if appropriate. Sara speaks some german and French. We have two cars and are often going into kinsale or cork if you wanted a lift with us to either place once work is complete,
You can join us for meals or eat separately as you prefer.

Help
We are slowly building a garden from a field! We have 8 veg beds and lots of grass :) and sometimes make some small DIY changes inside the house like painting, upcycling furniture etc. We occasionally ask for some babysitting.
