Description
Hello! We are 2 friends, Lauriane and Ryan. We both live in Galway city in Ireland. Ryan is Irish-American and Lauriane is French. We would love to stay with some hosts, and help them with whatever they need! We are both very laid-back and enjoy doing a lot of activities, such as gardening, caring for animals and children, cooking and eating, exploring new horizons, hiking, meeting other people and learning about different cultures...
We look forward to meeting you 😊Interests

More details about your skills
We both have experience in gardening, in different ways. Ryan has worked in different landscape companies, and has been a nature tutor for kids and adults. Lauriane has a garden design diploma, worked in a garden centre and has volunteered in community gardens. We love to be outdoors and are not afraid of getting dirty and wet (immuned to the Irish wet weather 😉). We are both musicians too, Ryan plays the bodhran (Irish frame drum), the tin whistle and sings. Lauriane plays the fiddle, concertina and piano. She also does a little old style Irish dancing, called Sean nos. We have been playing together since 6 years, busking, playing in pub sessions, and for tour companies. We also both teach music from complete beginner to intermediate level. Both of us also have restaurant experience, Lauriane is a pastry chef, having done her training in France. And Ryan has been a manager in different restaurants in the US and Hawaii. We wouldn't mind also to teach English or/and French and learn the country's language in exchange.
