  Description

  Live and help in a spectacular peaceful location in return for welcoming accommodation and exchange of language learning.
  
  Teenager, small old dog, and mother, live on Achill Island, County Mayo. We would like to host some one primarily comfortable with caring for and walking our old dog and perhaps dog-sitting when we are not at home. We enjoy learning languages and are happy to teach ours.
  
  We are near the beach and local bus route, in a prime location for discovering nature, historic and cultural areas, and the Wild Atlantic Way.
  
  A competent driver with a driving licence, or own transportation, would be extremely advantageous here but is not essential. TFIanseo bus can transport you to and from the house for a small fee.
  
  We would also like help with household chores and tasks and cooking vegan/vegetarian meals occasionally. If this sounds like a good match for what you are looking for we will happily arrange a video call to introduce ourselves and further discuss arrangements. Thank you!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We love Irish Trad music and play Irish music at home at random times. We don't have a television or WiFi . We would encourage you to use your free days to travel and explore the area. We are a busy family and enjoy private time together but we will include you in outings and activities whenever possible and can give you lifts when we travel to nearby towns.
  
  We live on Achill Island which has spectacular world-famous beaches, historic sites, mountains, lakes, and a rich cultural heritage.
  
  Surfing, kayaking, kite-surfing, swimming, snorkeling, golf, yoga, horse-riding, hiking, biking, traditional Irish music sessions, and many other activities are possible here. We enjoy learning and teaching languages (e.g., Irish).
  
  We live in a rural area but have access to almost everything we need here. We live in a small village with a pristine beach, and nearby you will find a café/pub, food truck(s), and beach saunas.

  Aide

  We would like to share our languages and Irish music and local culture with our Workawayer.
  
  We live a simple Island life and would share our activities of daily living, which include house-keeping, cooking (vegetarian) meals, spending time outdoors together, going to the spring for water, some gardening and walking and caring for our dog. We play music together and enjoy board games.
  
  We can offer a bicycle to cycle around the Island. We enjoy going to traditional Irish music sessions (beginners welcome!) most weeks and to music festivals occasionally.
