Description
Hi there, we live in the beautiful west of Ireland on a smallholding in a small cottage. I'm a movement meditation teacher and physical therapist, one of my passions is music and dance. You would be welcome to join my classes. I've 2 dogs and 1 cat. The dogs greatly appreciate being taken for walks! Whoever helps out here must love animals and want to be part of what is happening in the home but still independent. Although where I live feels remote, I live only a 15 min. walk into town. Im vegetarian and fine if you eat meat.
A lot of help clearing outside is needed, digging beds, simple building skills, putting up fencing. Would really like someone who is strong and able to work independently, I will help you too when I can.

Afrikaans: Fluent
English: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
My languages are English and Afrikaans. I would like to learn Spanish as have forgotten most of the basics after returning from Cuba.
Accommodation
You will have a room which is an annex to the dance space, your own toilet. Kitchen and bathroom use in house. At times this space will need to be cleared due to access for classes.
What else ...
There are wonderful walks into the hills that run past my home. The town is close by, has a few cafe's, restaurants, pubs, supermarket. There is a Buddhist centre about 1/2 hour away. There are buses that run to Cork city, which is 2 hours away though they are not so frequent. The area around here has many very ancient sites to be seen and beautiful coastal walks. You can use my bicycle.
