  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We have a very typical Irish country lifestyle. You would have exposure to an outdoor and hands on experience with an Irish family. You would be included and treated as family member should that be the experience you are after. We do things together, such as the do projects around the house and gardens, and then also do the fun stuff like beach trip s etc together. We swim alot in the sea,with lots of pier jumping and hope you might enjoy that too. You could learn about looking after chickens horses or bees should you wish.
