    Description

    Welcome to my little nest. Just recently moved into my little heaven up the mountain in North Leitrim, Ireland. I'm a Digital media and performance artist who wants to add much creative love and finish to this already existing work of art thats here. There's just under 3 acres of mountain side, with the occasional visiting Ram from down the road. No animals or veg yet, just finding my feet and exploring the land to see whats here and see the potential of the adventure ahead. Its an interesting and quirky home which also needs a little TLC and further creative expansion. I'm here most of the time but getting a bit scattered with all the different bits to do so some help and support from some kind volunteers would be much appreciated

    I have back in the day been a volunteer also so I know this from both sides, being an arty creative, traveller and holistic type I'm sure there is a lot of my knowledge I can share with you also over the dinner table.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Single room inside the main house with single bed. The house is shared with me, right now its only suitable for one person. I'm not a vegetarian but I do enjoy vegetarian food so its not a problem if you are. Depending how we get along we will find a flow in terms of if we eat together or separately, some days probably yes and other days not.

    No fast wifi here I am working from the Internet tethered from my phone and for uploads and downloads I go down down. Town is about 15 min drive down the mountain, its quite an isolated little bubble up here so its good if you like your own company and can handle the silence, peace and tranquility of being in nature. If you have a car or transport even better.

    It rains a lot so you will need suitable clothes and shoes for that. House is nice and cosy and there is still some work needing doing at the minute, but its certainly cosy and functional. I can provide the food, heat and board in exchange for 5 days, 5 hours a day.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The local town is very creatively vibrant so there are regular creative events on and the scenery is beautiful. there seem to be buses from the town to other major transport hubs so there is potential to visit some places via the public transport system. If you have your own transport its better. Please have your own medical/travel insurance.
