  Description

  Ron - CoHost - Retired Chef from USA
  Mona - CoHost - works at local university and native Galway Girl
  Kye - eldest child - age 20 - loves animals, art and gardening
  Jack - 2nd child - age 18 - ready for college but Rugby is his world. He also loves gardening and cooking and animals.
  
  Our friends have told us, over the years, it is like visiting the United Nations. You are never really sure who is staying here and what country they are from or what language they speak. Because of this we are always inundated with requests from former WorkAwayers (or siblings of!) to come back for another stay.

  Aide

  We are a very busy household situated on the outskirts of Galway city (7km). We have two teenagers and host (3) college-age students throughout the academic year (Sept-June).
  
  During the summer our guest house is very busy with students and friends and family dropping in for visits and short stays utilising our guest rooms. So lots of laundry and making beds etc.
  
  We are offering accommodation and food (3 x meals etc.) in exchange for house help (laundry, cleaning, dishes, ironing, making beds etc.), walking the dogs occasionally, helping with gardening (weeding/grass cutting etc).

  Autres infos...

  Local bus transport available close to the house to Galway city. Hosts are also available (with planning) to the city and back home. There are lots of local tour companies (extra cost to WorkAway) that offer tours to Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, InishBoffin).
  
  Our house is very busy - Mona works from home, so is usually working from 7am or 8am until 2:30pm or 3:30pm.
  
  The teenagers are both in college or at Rugby camp. Ron is retired and spends a lot of time gardening and with the dogs (walking in the countryside where our house is located, and learning how to play the Guitar).
  
  We expect a WorkAway to join the family for a few weeks, by helping with domestic chores in exchange for room & board.
  
  We are a very supportive and open to all races, cultures and creed. We do not tolerate any displays of racism or prejudices shown towards anyone (gender/religion/sexual persuasion) staying in our home or outside our home.
