Description
I'm a farmer living on the west coast of Ireland.I keep cattle, sheep, and horses. I have been farming all my life and am a host for the past 8 years (with over a hundred volunteers ). Private peaceful woodland setting. Nice walks and close to the village. With Irish pubs, village and very fun people. 10min by car from Ennis. I do prefer volunteers to be aged 20 years and older.

Sense of humor is needed! :)

Aidan is a lovely man, and he always had new things to teach me. He is always making jokes about everything, he always was ready to help me in any situation. Camilla is a great women, she's always smiling… read more

That was a great time for me in Irland. Aidan is a nice man, with a very good humor and you can talk with him for hours. If you need to improve your english, he is very patient and helps you. To go to his house was one of the best things I have ever done!
