Description
Hi. I live in old farmhouse in county Kilkenny, work for an international NGO based here in Ireland and lecture in a Dublin university. I also work in tourism in the summer. I'm biased but if you don't know Kilkenny, this really is a lovely part of Ireland.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I spent much of my adult life working and living abroad and I'm an accredited tour guide here in Ireland. Visitors enjoy the cultural exchange of staying here, interacting with myself as well as locals. I speak some French and Spanish (in an earlier life I taught English).
Aide
I have a vegetable garden and polytunnel I need help maintaining, and general outdoor help around the farmhouse. I have stone outbuildings which I hope to make habitable. Bonus if you're creative or have some experience with interior design.

It is a comfortable, renovated cottage with wood-burning stove. You will have your own bedroom and shared bathroom. I enjoy food and can offer three meals a day - and am happy to try your cuisine!
Autres infos...
There are lovely walks and cycling along quiet country roads, with woods nearby and small villages. I'm fortunate to have friendly neighbours too. Nearest village and public transport is fifteen minutes walk, although I'm happy to collect/drop you. The medieval town of Kilkenny is not too far, with the charming village of Abbeyleix in the other direction.
