Description
My name is Rónán , i'm 37 years old .I live on a farm in Co. Longford. I have been involved in lots of different courses including organic vegetable growing , 3D cad design, cnc carving in wood and IT security.
I have a 48ft x 21ft poly tunnel which i recently landscaped and is very low maintenance , but still would be nice to get help in and projects around the house/land which have been put to the side for years.
I live alone with my cat , i really like the peace and quiet where i live , been here for 13 years , moved from Dublin originally , to start an organic farm , i moved more into art and technology over the years and now only grow food for myself.
I am currently a full time student ,studying IT security during the pandemic.
I do meditation ,I'm interested in psychology and science .
I don't drink alcohol or smoke, i enjoy the little things in life , and enjoy living in nature.
