Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live very close to 3 sandy beaches where we swim most days(yes in the winter too). We have lots of hikes and walkways nearby. Derrynane house and staigue stone fort are nearby. The Skelligs Islands can be reached by boat in the Summer months. There is a bus service 4 times daily to nearby villages and the train staation in Killarney . You would become part of our family and see how the Irish school curriculum works. I am involved in a gosple choir and I play in a band so you would be involved with that. There is a rowing club locally who are always looking for rowers
