  Description

  Home educating/unschooling family who have moved to the wild northwest countryside of ireland for new adventures!
  We have bought an old stone farmhouse with a barn and 2 stone outhouses and 3 acres of land. It is already magical here with all of rhe beautiful trees and a stream and view of the mountains and we hope to make it even more magical as we build and improve the outside spaces and grow veg and add more and more animals! We have 2 kids 8 and 10 who love to take care of our 10 hens a rooster and 2 dogs and 2 cats..one day we would love horses.
  We love hiking surfing swimming kayaking horseriding and rockclimbing and also are big into bushcraft and learning through nature.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  They will get to stay in a very beautiful part of ireland and can go hiking climbing surfing/kayaking easily in gorgeous lakes and beaches here. They will get to hang out with some very cool wild kids and some lovely animals and we can show them around all of the great nature in the area. They can learn about looking after and trying to build a family eco smallholding. They can learn about home education and democratic learning.

  Aide

  We would love someone to help do projects outside and try to create fun spaces to play and hang out on our land. We have bought a yurt and need to figure out a place to put it and maybe make an eco toilet nearby. We need to try and create some fencing so we can keep the neighbours cows out! We would like to grow vegetables but most of all just be nice to have an extra pair of hands and someone to chat to the kids exchange ideas and knowledge and have adventures with us.
  We need someone who loves kids and animals. Any basic carpentry gardening or permaculture skills be great.
