Description
Hi everyone!
my name is Bryan (35) and I've been a workawayer myself not too long ago. In 2013, I went on my first workaway experience in the south west of Ireland and loved it so much that I decided to come live here for good. So in 2019 I moved from Berlin to a little old stone cottage that I found on the Beara Peninsula. Now I'm looking for some helping hands for various projects in and around the house!
I'm a web designer and work from home - In my free time I love to go hiking and fishing, cooking and baking bread or work on projects around the house and in the garden.
I'm located in Lauragh, Co. Kerry, one of the most beautiful places in Ireland! You will be a short walk from Glanmore Lake and 15 minutes by bike from the Sea. There are plenty of mountain walks and stone circles to discover and a botanical garden (Derreen Gardens) close by. If you're into hiking, foraging, fishing, swimming and just the outdoors in general - this is a great spot!
Please note that with all its beauty, Lauragh is still quite remote. There is a bus going to Kenmare and Castletownbere four times a day but it would be even better if you had your own car. There is a small shop around 10km away which you can reach by bike.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm not a English native speaker but could possibly help you with your English or German if interested. There are plenty of things to discover close by and I might be able to teach you a thing or two about foraging and fishing. If you're interested I could give you an introduction to webdesign/graphic design and earning money online.
Help
I'm currently working on building a little glamping site with two shepherds huts and a little facility house. The work would mainly involve getting everything ready for the season (fingers crossed), so painting the shepherds huts and helping me finish the facility house. Building little pathways and crafting some signs etc. If you're experienced in a particular field (i.e. carpentry) please let me know. Otherwise I'm just looking for people who are creative and open minded :) I also have a few animals and plenty of work in the garden.
Languages spoken
German: Fluent

Accommodation
You will be staying in one of the shepherds huts, which features a bunk bed and a table/chair/worktop. It's located in the beautiful garden, not far from the cottage. The bathroom is currently still located in the cottage.
I'd imagine we have breakfast and dinner together but we could see what works best for us.
