Beth & Kaydin

Travel information

We are currently

Description

We're a couple who met and have been working in New Zealand for the last year, who want to explore Ireland and immerse ourselves in its culture. Beth is from the UK so legally able to live and work in Ireland, and Kaydin has a working holiday visa which is valid until May 2027.

We love trying new things, board games and authenticity. We are both comfortable with a rural lifestyle and well versed with what it entails.

Between us, we have 25 years of farming experience. Those are all Kaydin, who grew up working on a sheep and beef farm in New Zealand. Beth has sheared one sheep at said farm. We also have a wide range of other work experience, most recently as stargazing tour guides. Kaydin has also worked at a meatworks, dairy farm and as a lifeguard. Beth has worked as a tour guide across Europe and on dolphin boat tours in New Zealand, been the deputy director of a writing retreat and worked as a pizza chef and kitchen hand.
