Help with collaborative projects and stay in beautiful West Clare, Ireland

  Description

  I am an American with a holiday home in Ireland. Though mostly complete, I often have projects and would love help with them. I also have basic ongoing maintenance (like the Irish weeds…good heavens!). There’s always a list! Projects are typically focused on gardening but certainly some indoor as well. If you have the desire to explore West Clare on the Wild Atlantic Way, one of the most beautiful areas in the country, please reach out!
  
  I have traveled Ireland extensively and am blessed with hundreds of years of family history. I have big love for the Irish culture, people, landscape, and the history and historical sites that make up this beautiful island. I would love to host you, work with you, tour around a bit, and have you make yourself at home for the duration.
  
  I am located in an area where a car is best, though will typically be able to take you to a bus stop in either Quilty or Miltown Malbay.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The house is near Spanish point in West Clare, just between the Cliffs of Moher and the Kilkee Cliffs (30 minutes from each). The closest towns are Miltown Malbay (5 min) and Quilty (5 min), with the larger town of Ennis directly east (35 min) and Lahinch 15 minutes north along the coast. The Burren is also very close and an easy day trip with all it has to offer. You will be close to both touristy sites and cultural sites, with many pubs and easy shopping, but for freedom to tour around at will, you’ll want a car when in the area.

  Help

  The vast majority is weeding and digging new beds. I’m adding to the gardens each year. This year I am painting the outside of the house and will have indoor projects as well.
  
  I can keep you busy, pass along some great places to visit. Ireland is full of amazing history and absolute beauty!

  Accommodation

  This is a larger home so you will have your own bedroom and bathroom. Full access as if you are living here. I am happy to provide meals and snacks but I can’t promise I’ll cook every single one! I don’t typically follow a schedule when I’m in country and prefer to go with the weather when choosing to lay out each day.

  What else ...

  There are so many areas to explore within an hour! The more touristy ones like the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, and the Burren, also less touristy locations full of ancient history and beauty. Stone circles, dolmens, castles, cliffs. The amazing history, both calm and wild seas, and stunning beauty all around is endless.
