Help on my tiny farm in Wicklow, Ireland

Details

• 

  Description

  I live with four horses, two pigs, a goat, four sheep, three cats and two dogs in Wicklow, Ireland. We are 5 minutes from beautiful beaches and ten minutes drive to a small town. The animals have a lovely routine and they are the priorities in life. They are pets as I don't believe in eating animals. The farm is small but works really well and the house is very nice and warm with a nice garden.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Anyone travelling here will get a good knowledge of how to care for horses, sheep and pigs. I love cooking and very happy to share recipes and show how I make plant-based meals, sometimes with fish. I'm an artist also and can share with guests my unique etching techniques.

  Help

  I would like help feeding the animals, cleaning out the stables, gardening.

  French: Intermediate

  This host offers a language exchange
  I would love to brush on my French. I had a great French girl staying with me a few years ago and it worked well. I think I'm quite good at helping others to improve their English.

  Accommodation

  Double room with own bathroom and shared kitchen/living space. There are two small dogs who are very friendly and are allowed on the furniture! I cook every day and can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner or sometimes leave food for guests to cook themselves. I don't like meat being cooked or stored here.

• 

  What else ...

  I don't mind dropping or collecting helpers to and from the train or the bus, which goes to Dublin in about an hour. There are beaches nearby and it's a popular area for cycling. I'm flexible and would be happy to show guests the beautiful scenery and do some trips to the highlights that are not accessible by public transport.
