Travelling
Description
I am 31 years of age, from Ireland, born in Galway, and in recent times I have been travelling around Ireland doing both work exchanges and pet sitting, and for now am continuing with that.
During this time I have valued seeing the country of Ireland, much of it which I had not seen before, being in new surroundings frequently, meeting people who I have some things in common with, gaining new work experience and last but not at all least, having time and space outside of work hours to focus on my priorities.
Hobbies -
In my spare time I enjoy going for walks, reading, researching, being in nature, cycling, camping, hiking, playing soccer, doing yoga, to name a few.
Work -
Preferring to work outdoors in gardens, woods, organic farms especially and sometimes animal farms. I am interested in gaining experience with permaculture and biodynamic farming.
I also sometimes like to organize spaces.
I am travelling by public transport from place to place.
Diet -
I am vegetarian and also interested in healthy eating. If it seems a challenge to prepare food for vegetarian, I can take care of it.
I don't drink milk. I eat Eggs. Cheese sometimes.
I don't drink or cook with fluoridated/chlorinated water but would buy water to cook with/drink.
I am definitely an explorer of this Earth, at heart, and so far been to a few counties, often doing work exchanges or volunteering, mostly in years gone by. For example - Spain (vegan community), France(yoga ashram), Germany(Hare Krishna community), Sweden, England, The Netherlands, Hungary(Ozora festival - volunteering), and the Czech Republic(English teaching summer camps).
I graduated in 2021 from Blanchardstown TU, after studying Business for 3 years years, returning after a gap in studying - though have not worked in Business so far.
I have a provisional license but am in the learning stage of driving.

He is thorough, polite, direct and organised. We were clearing the land for 5 weeks and he implemented this transformation daily with no bother come rain or shine, I gave him a list and he went through things at his own rather fast pace.
He also understood the deeper meaning of things ie space clearing.… read more
