Description

Hello! 😊

🌿 Looking for a Host Family
🌍 We are also open to…
✅ Short-term homestays in Ireland (All year round!)
✅ Playdates on weekends & school breaks (Ireland)
✅ Travel buddies with kids (anywhere in the world!)
✅ Camping, nature, music, and art adventures

Me and my 6yo daughter are interested in home-stay/farm-stay/aupair (anything!)
It could be anywhere in Ireland (including Northern Ireland).
We would bring our own food and car. ;)

We are interested in families with children who would enjoy playing with a 6yo girl.;)

I’m Ryoko, a single mom in my mid-30s, living in Ennis, Clare, Ireland with my 7-year-old daughter. Originally from Japan, I’ve been in Ireland for over eight years now.

I work online as a Japanese teacher, counsellor, and translator. My daughter is a kind and gentle little girl who gets along well with other children.

We love traveling and home-staying with other families and have had amazing experiences staying with other moms and kids. We’re always up for fun and new adventures! ✨
