Who We Are:
We are located in the West of Ireland, in a serene rural setting of unparalleled natural beauty. Positioned at the foot of two renowned hillwalking areas and situated between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask, this region has been a favored destination for fishing for over 200 years. Steeped in the rich history and culture of Ireland, the area is dotted with castles, ruins, woodlands, lakes, and the ever-present sheep and cows!
We are seeking creative, enthusiastic and independent people with video creation and editing skills who would like to help produce a series of short (60 second) videos, and prepare them to share on social media. The videos have already storyboarded and scripted, with the voiceover timing and audio cue sheets prepared for each one. You will be helping to film, edit, integrate stock footage and images, select and add music, text, etc.
Our location simply cannot be beat for absolute beauty of the huge lakes, the inviting hills, the open green fields, and the many historic ruins. You have easy access to swimming, cycling, hiking, socializing in pubs, and with some preplanning, venturing out via public transportation to the wider sites and attractions of Ireland.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing the peaceful beauty that is Western Ireland.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Accommodations:
We have a clean, bright, and welcoming home with a separate clean, neatly furnished self- catering apartment on our property for Helpers. It is suitable for one person, or a couple. You will have your own kitchen and bathroom, but are also welcome to join us for meals. There is wifi, clothes washer and dryer as well as clothesline, bicycles, kayaks for the walking-distance lakes (good swimming!), and you are welcome to go along to the gigs where my husband plays music in pubs 2-3 nights a week.
You will be expected to keep your rooms, kitchen, and bathroom clean and neat, and clean them prior to leaving, so they are tidy for the next Helper, but you will not be asked to share in the general cleaning of the house or grounds.
We are a non-smoking household, no smoking or vaping is permitted on our property.
Our accommodations are for one person or a couple, there is one bed in the bedroom, and plenty of storage for your things. We cannot host any pets or children.
We live as sustainably as possible, making all our own soaps, shampoos, laundry soaps, hand creams, etc. (I used to own a handmade soaps and cosmetics company). We forage and preserve the bountiful fruits around us in season, and grow as much of our other fruits and veg as possible. We keep a small flock of hens for their eggs. If you are interested in learning to make as much of your own foods as possible, this is the place for you! We make our own bread, yogurt, cheeses, pasta, jams, jellies, cordials, the list is long. You will eat delicious, healthy, freshly made food from an international cuisine. We are omnivores but have spent years as vegetarians, so are open to varied life choices around foods.
We are a very creative family, artists, musicians, crafting, sailing, kayaking, and caravan camping – activities we would be happy to share with you! There is a lot of music in our house (do you play? join in!) We try to have at least a half day for painting and art every week.Algo más...
There is a small village with store, award winning bakery/coffee shop, bus stop, and three pubs 1.7 km from the house. We are 50 minutes from Galway City, 25 minutes from a moderately large village, 45 minutes from Castlebar, 45 minutes from Claremorris (nearest train station) 50 minutes from Westport, 3 hours from Dublin.
Ireland is a country of moderate weather, generally on the cool side. You will need layers even in summer, and an absolute requirement is rain gear. You must have footwear for rainy weather (wellies are good). With the proper outerwear, Ireland is enjoyable most days, with some intermittent stormy weather or rainy patches. Expect some short rain showers most days, that then clear to bright crisp days. We often have days where it mists lightly all day. That’s where all the rainbows come from!
It stays light in Ireland until 10 pm or later during the middle of summer, gets dark at around 4 in winter, so we tend to work to use the light when it’s there. We will encourage you to use the long days to explore the beauty of our area, soak up some culture, and learn about Ireland.
You are welcome to stay with us over the weekends, but if you prefer to travel, we can help you get to public transportation, with sufficient notice and as long as it does not conflict with our other obligations.Un poco más de información
