  Description

  We are looking for help with garden clearance and painting only (not pet sitting).
  
  We live in a beautiful rural area in the North West of Ireland (Leitrim) near Carrick-on-Shannon. We are a gay same sex male couple. There are lovely canal walks locally and nice pubs in the nearby towns. Carrick-on-Shannon has excellent restaurants, coffee shops and nighclubs with excellent nightlife and music with lots of choice especially at weekends. Your accommodation will be a studio apartment (30m2) in the garden which is en-suite and separate from the house. We have dogs and chickens. We are only 20 mins from the train station which takes 2 hours to get to Dublin, 1 hour to Sligo. A bus stops outside the house approximately 8 times per day, so good access. We also drive and are happy to make your stay comfortable.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We have had young people stay with us from other countries around the world in the past. We are both teachers by profession. This is a great opportunity to experience life in a beautiful part of Ireland. It could be an opportunity to improve your English perhaps or do some sight seeing along part of Ireland's Hidden Heartlands or the Wild Atlantic Way (we are 1 hour from Sligo) - see the websites below for both tourism areas. We live in a beautiful location and this will give you an opportunity to work at some gardening mainly or some painting.

  Help

  We have a large garden which is in good condition. However, we are looking to finish off one large corner of the garden to clean it up and make it manageable to keep. If you are here for longer, it would be great to get some painting done of the shed etc if you are interested. The garden would be our priority and preference.
