    Hello everyone! 😊

    I'm Kristine, 41yo from Latvia, I live with my Irish husband Liam (45yo) and our children Grace (9yo) Liam Og (7yo) Rosie (6yo) and Markuss (22yo) in the beautiful countryside of West Waterford, surrounded by the Comeragh Mountains and the Colligan River.

    Our farm is very quaint, with beautiful lanes and forests, and the nearest town is Dungarvan (12 km), a bustling port town and sailing hotspot. There are beaches, promenades, cycle paths, restaurants and bars to keep you entertained.

    We have a big farm with cattle and all those farm activities like chopping wood, gardening, etc.

    Come to join us and discover the Irish lifestyle and the beautiful nature that surrounds us! 🤩

    We are an open minded family who have been hosting volunteers for the last 4 years and have created great friendship connections through this process.
