Beschreibung
We have between 7 and 8 acres. We have 2 horses, cats and a hamster at present. We like to plant trees. I work at collecting and recycling cans covering a large area(mostly west of ireland). we like to grow a garden,organic.
In the spring time we do a walk in a different part of ireland each year. we camp and cook on an open fire as we go along. we travel light and our motive is to call to see the kids in schools to give trees and raise awareness of the importance ot trees in our world. It is called the tree walk and has happened since 1996.
We live in a quiet country area, not too far from the river and lough ree (cycling distance).
I live with my 2 children sionna and fionn who are here a few days a week.

We spent 1 week and it's a real experience to be in the John's House.
His house is in the countryside, a quiet place with some animals and forest. John has an ecological lifestyle : he have a beautiful rainwater circuit and dry toilet. He also built a great sauna that we could use !

I spent one week with John. You immediately feel that you can trust him, he's a good and very caring person, with a high environmental awareness ! His two children are lovely.
The most of the job was to help him with the cans, to carry and chop wood and to plant trees. The trips in the truck are a good way to see the region. He's always… read more

I spent a week with John in July and it was a great experience. He's a very nice, welcoming, and generous person and his family and friends are really friendly. I was happy to be able to help a little in his work for a week. Despite my not-so-good English, John took the time to repeat and explain to me each time I didn't understand.

John is a very kind, caring man with fantastic kids. My friend and I stayed with them for about a week, and had a wonderful first workaway experience. John was incredibly welcoming, and really treated us like family. He never asked that much of us in regards to work, but rather expected us to help out wherever we could - with cooking (although not… read more

I stayed with John for a week for my first work away experience and could not have asked for more! John and his family were so good to me. I learned so much about the Irish culture and history in my time here. Riding along as ‘the Can Man’ collected cans throughout Ireland was an excellent way to see the countryside.
