Algo más...
I am a firm believer that a change is as good as a rest and I would love to spend some of my free time exploring new places and meeting new people. I spent some time in the summer of 2018 helping out in a cafe in Ireland and I loved every minute of it. Then I had the good fortune to spend two weeks in Sligo in 2019 and another (almost) two in Newtonards in 2020 and again, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Then I was lucky enough to stay in county Clare in 2021 and loved every minute of it.

It was lovely having Monika stay with us. From the moment we picked her up at the airport I knew we were going to have a nice few days. She helped me with cleaning around the house, cooking dinners, did some baking with the kids which they loved and spent time with the kids playing with them. My 6 year old daughter was crying when she left. She is… read more

I loved every minute I spent with Noreen and her two lovely kids and everyone else I met during my short stay. Noreen is fun, friendly and kind. She took me to beautiful places (no shortage of these in Kerry!), she gave me a comfy room to stay in, good food and excellent company. I could not ask for more, she was so very generous with me.

Monika was superhero to share my home with. A really lovely and interesting lady. We had lots of fun during her stay. I felt like I was on holidays while at home.
She is a hard and thoughtful worker. I loom forward to spending time with her again. She was very kind and interactive with my family and friends. She also makes amazing cakes.

Oh my, where do I start… I had a heavenly time in co. Cork, absolutely everything I was hoping for and so much more. First of all, I got to spend time with Áine, a fun, kind, generous person, down to earth, always as good as her word and such a good laugh. I loved her company, the chance to talk, exchange stories, laugh and watch TV, pet her sweet… read more

Monika was also great with the animals helping to feed and muck them out ,and even had time to help with jobs on the computer .All of these operations took place… read more

My week with Bridget, Dessie and Shannon was just grand. I loved the work, the conversations, the chance to immerse myself in the beauty of Co. Meath. They were fun to be with, friendly and ever so kind. I was so lucky - I got all I was hoping for - great people, green fields and sensible work. Thank you thank you thank you!

Monika is a wonderful lady, full of life and brings a wealth of life knowledge with her. We really got on very well, and fitted in around our family and our lifestyle. No job was too big for her. She is a talented lady and well read. We shared many stories around life in general, as we were around the same age, so had similar life experiences.… read more

I could not have asked for a lovelier place to go to. First of all, my hosts were two grand people, who took me in at a short notice, in spite of the Covid and in spite of my having 1.5 hands to work with – I had sprained my wrist several days before coming over. Still, they welcomed me there. They are both the kind of people you totally want to… read more

I loved my two-week stay with John. He is absolutely kind, knowledgeable, ready to talk to you and show you places. I enjoyed working with him - the work is not too hard and you get to learn things. My Kindle is full of books inspired by what John told me, I met a lot of his neighbours, I saw a lot of places and I loved waking up in the middle of… read more
