We are looking for people who might like to do a bit of landscaping/gardening and other general maintenance. If you have any skills at all, that would be great!
For the landscaping and maintenance, relevant experience maybe be required depending on what is on at that time. A bit of muscle helps too! We live in the beautiful sunny south east in Rosslare Strand, Co. Wexford Ireland, (1 mile from the beach). You would live in a self catering apartment with other Workawayers from various countries. It is a shared bedroom, mod cons; Wifi, big smart tv, Netflix and loads of other channels, dishwasher and washing machine , full kitchen etc. The apartment sleeps 4.
The apartment is on Our 3 acre property where Tom , myself and the horses reside. You will be asked to do various tasks for 25 hours a week,, we are very flexible, just let us know what days you prefer off. Horse people maybe asked to do Gardening/cleaning/maintenance type work. Depends on how much horse work is on that week. Expect up to approx. 8 hours/ week in general maintenance type work. However, there are often many weeks that horses will be full on.
We live by the train, buses and we provide you with bikes to cycle around the village and to the beach. We have a cold pool and outdoor sauna that you will have full excess to use them. We provide your food. You will have plenty of free time to explore this beautiful Island. Contact us if you think you may be interested. We have lots of cats and dogs, so a general love of animals is nice to have as well :-)Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

You will have access to the beach, train to dublin and bikes to cycle around to see the sites. Rosslare Strand is the 'sunny southeast' , a very popular destination for tourists. Particularly in the summer time and is also lovely in the autumn. It is very beautiful. We live in Rural Ireland in an old farmhouse on three acres. If you are a city slicker, it is a great contrast, if you are a country bumpkin, then you will feel right at home whilst learning English.

L'endroit est très sympathique avec des chevaux très agréables.
C'était une bonne expérience.
I felt very welcome and enjoyed getting the chance to be back around horses, while also learning to use a few power tools for some DIY stuff! The other workerwayers I met there were all so lovely too! ☺️

I was here for a month and had a great time.

What a beautiful written review, Tom and I were very touched by it, we even MADE our kids read it to us again out loud! LOL . You said you were going to write a Novel, and you did. Thank you.

Here is another lesson for… read more

Thank you for your lovely feedback. Coline has a amazing laid back cool way about her. This benefited the horses and the people around her. She is very balanced and naturally athletic.
