Description
Hello my name is Sophie, I live in the County Galway countryside, less than 30 minutes from Galway City in the West of Ireland. I live in a bungalow with my two teenage boys aged 18 and 13. I am a teacher in a Further Education College but I am off work for three months of the summer. I am also a holistic life coach and yoga teacher. I love walking in many of the beautiful places along the Wild Atlantic Way coast and in Connemara. I sea swim and sauna throughout the year. My home is situated in beautiful Irish countryside, with fields and lanes for walking and a short drive to local villages and also Galway city.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My family and friends and I sea swim and hill walk and enjoy outdoor activities that you are welcome to join. I go on regular road trips over the summer months so you would be able to explore many parts of Ireland while on your stay. Happy to practice your English if needed. I am a good cook so would love to exchange different cultural food ideas! I paint as a hobby, and have a lot of art materials available for you to paint or draw or create while you are staying. I am a yoga teacher and life coach so I am happy to share those skills with you too.

Help
I own a field and large garden that is a bit wild, I would like help doing some garden design & landscaping this summer 2026, creating some flower & herb beds, wild flower areas, pruning hedges and planting some new trees and shrubs. I would like to create some separate areas for outdoor seating, a fire pit, and storage spaces and I am open to design ideas!

You will stay in a hexagonal wooden cabin (The Pod) located in the field behind my house. It has a high ceiling, windows, is insulated and has heating, electricity, WIFI, a lockable door, clothes storage and two single beds that can be pushed together to make a double bed. The bathroom, kitchen and clothes washing/drying facilities in my home will be accessible for you to use at any time.
I will provide breakfast and lunch ingredients for you to prepare yourself and will cook an evening meal for you daily, based on your dietary preferences.
What else ...
There are arts and music festivals and live music gigs throughout the summer in Galway. There is a bus to the city centre regularly from a nearby village and from Galway city, it is easy to get transport anywhere in Ireland if you wanted a weekend away. I am happy to take you to visit some of our local landmarks, walks, and beaches.
