Description
Hello all, My name is Mike, I'm 30 and I come from a small town on the beautiful west coast of Ireland.
I've lived in the hustle and bustle of Dubai and New York amazing as it was the city life just isn't for me. I'm a very adventurous person and spend a lot of time hiking the mountains of Ireland, Kayaking the lakes and rivers and fishing from dawn til dusk (supporting catch and release).
Art has been a great passion of mine from a very young age and I'm very excited to share this passion with people on my travels. I love meeting new people, learning their cultures and sharing my own.
I spent over a year travelling across Asia and eventually found myself living in Germany. I'm currently travelling through Europe with my doggo Rohan in our self converted VW Caddy. 🐕
I'm still trying to figure out what I truly want from this life. Peace.

From the moment myself and my dog Rohan arrived at Jocelyne and Jean Claudes beautiful property we felt right at home. The location right on the Loir is absolutely breathtaking but nothing compared to the hospitality and love shown by Jocelyne and Jean Claude. The work was very satisfying and the work load more than fair. Both will always have a… read more

What started as a 3 week stay turned into almost 10 month's of living, working and laughing with the most amazing people that have made leaving the Hideaway very emotional for me. From day one I was greeted with such a warm welcome and felt at home right away. The jobs would vary from day to day which I absolutely loved.
Fab and Colleen have done… read more

Mike has been brilliant from day one. He arrived in the winter months when we were getting busy with various building projects from carpentry to heavy grounds work landscaping and clearing garden areas. He adapted to any project we had pointed him at. He was reliable and we trusted him with managing the campsite for the months we were away. What… read more
