Description
We’re a young family living in Brandon, West Kerry — a breathtaking corner of Ireland surrounded by mountains, beaches, and incredible walking trails. Our village is part of the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) with a warm, welcoming community. It’s perfect for someone who loves the outdoors and wants to experience authentic rural Irish life. We’re 20 minutes from Dingle and 40 minutes from Tralee, with a regular bus to Tralee.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living in beautiful west Kerry in the heart of a local Gaeltacht community. Lots of hiking, water sports and outdoor activities. Close to Tralee and Dingle.
We also run the local pub, so you’ll quickly get to know people and feel part of the area.
If this sounds like the kind of Irish experience you’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you!
