Experience authentic countryside living in Galway, West of Ireland

  Descripción

  My name is Ciara and I live in the West of Ireland with my two cats Stella and Stewie. We live in a 90+ year old house in the countryside which is roughly a 10 minute drive from a gorgeous lake, 25 minute to the city and 1 hours drive from the beautiful Connemara region. I’m currently renovating the house with future plans to make room in the garden for more animals, veg patches and flowers. I really enjoy this project but as someone who travelled quite a bit in her 20s, I do sometimes miss the experience of getting to meet with people from different cultural backgrounds. And so the idea of having people come to my home while this project is ongoing sounded super fun!
  
  Although it is just me who lives here, this is my original family home so every week my brother will pop in to drop his dog in for the day which is when I’ll usually rope him into helping me with some of the odd jobs in the house I can’t do by myself. My mom and dad live a couple of hours away so whenever they are down in this part of the country they will stay a couple of nights here and there.
  
  But other than that, they’re all pretty hands off with the upgrades.
  
  The area I live in is a typical Irish village; it’s got a school, a shop, a post office, church, takeaway, hairdresser and of course, pubs. In fact my house is right in the middle of the two main village pubs. A few visits to these pubs and you’ll have familiarised yourself with a lot of the locals!
  
  In addition to that there is lots going on, plenty of sports, music, nice food, community garden, sauna, coffee truck, you name it!

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  There’s lots of great classes nearby; art, music, Irish classes, etc
  I sometimes work as a food tour guide so would love to show you around this way
  There’s an amazing pub, Campbells Tavern, 15 minutes away with the most gorgeous weekly music sessions, and regular concerts which would be great
  Galway city has lots to offer, check out This Is Galway and Westend Galway websites to get a sense of the city
  Arts and culture are my things and FOOD! I’m crazy about food and nature and just easy going peaceful living.
  Really interested in meeting people from different parts of the world and just connecting with them on a personal level, with little expectations past that, just see what the universe brings my way!

  Ayuda

  I really love getting hands on with the renovations but currently am studying for a masters while also working full time so things have had to slow down a bit. The main big jobs that I would love help with are renovating my kitchen, and organising the garden; putting in new beds and helping out a bit of shape on the place in general. It’s not massively taxing work, and for me when I have company I find it so much easier and more motivating to get through!

  I’m happy to have four legged friends come along so long as they are okay with other animals. I have two cats here and there will often be dogs calling with other family members and friends. Also, the road outside can be quite busy.
