Description

We are both looking to travel around Europe this summer. Both of us are eager to experience new opportunities, learn about new cultures and contribute to community. We are both graduate environmental scientists with experience and knowledge of ecology, nature restoration and habitat management.
We are exited to learn new things about different ways of living, learning about self sufficiency and regenerative agriculture.
We are interested in meeting new people and sharing our knowledge and experience with them.
Both of us have previously done lots of volunteering here in Ireland such as recently setting up a new community garden, as well as doing other volunteering opportunities such as working for the Irish whale and dolphin group helping them prepare their boat.
We both love meeting and working with new people, and would be happy to contribute in whatever way we can to someone else's home.
