  Description

  Hi Im Gemma , I live in rural west cork with my teenage son. I have a small plot 5 acres for my horses and dogs. Need help with the animals, daily yard duties , house and garden maintenance that i cant do myself. Our lovely rural home place is nestled in the countryside, up in the hills of west cork, we are 40mins by car to Killarney, : steeped in irish heritage and culture, and 50 mins from cork city, so very well located as a base for exploring.
  Live music and culinary excellence is what this area is famous for, and there are many events throughout the year, including the macroom food festival, and ballydehob jazz festival. If walking is your thing, there are many nature trails and places of interest nearby. We are also only 40 minutes from Bantry Bay, if you wanted to go to the coast.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are in the Irish speaking community, im British myself, but a good opportunity to visit rural ireland. The village if vallingeary is 3.5 miles away, and their first language is Irish, in fact we are situated in the Gaeltacht, with many opportunities to immerse yourself in the language. There is usually somebody at home here, so you would have company helping alongside myself or my partner, Dominic.
