    Descrição

    Help with sharing skills, gardening, and pet care

    My name is Grit and I have a 14 year old son. We live in the South of Ireland near a little town called Clonakilty (about 10 km outside the town surrounded by hills and mostly cow fields). There is no public transport to Clonakilty but I go to town a few times a week and I also have a bicycle to lend. The bicycle journey is about 35 to 40 min one way. To walk to town is about 2 hours.
    There is a good alternative vibe in Clonakilty. Inchydoney beach is popular for surfing and swimming.

    I am originally German but living in Ireland for over 20 years.
    I am mainly interested in an exchange of culture and skills, and sharing what is there to share.
    Tasks that I am looking for help can differ throughout the year. Cultural exchange, as well as there may be some gardening tasks, music learning , or at times minding the house, pets and garden if I am going away.
    I love learning and are interested in many skills such as art, music, craft, sport, games, anything... to share.
    I am looking for someone to host that is funny, quirky, patient, …
    I also like board games, watching a movie, music, theatre plays, computer games and anything computer or technical related.
    I also have a greenhouse and a few vegetable beds outside. Depending on the season, there is a bit work to do.

    I have a cat, a dog, and some hens and also looking for someone to help with the pets occasionally.

    Please note that there is no money exchange involved here as we are exchanging skills, interests and things we have to offer but no money!

    I am interested in alternative ways of living, vegetable growing without pesticides, and many other things.

    I had studied ethnomusicology and my main interest was music censorship. I also play Irish harp and I am just getting back playing after a long break. I am interested in music from other countries and singer songwriters music. I would love to learn to write songs and accompany music.
    I have a piano and would love if someone can teach piano and/ or fiddle/ violin, any music…
    I am a qualified practisioner in Shiatsu and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. I am very interested to learn Qigong and Tai Chi.
    Furthermore, I try to live and eat healthy but sometimes also have fast food.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    I have hosted many volunteers and these were all very nice experiences. I also have supervised, worked and lived with volunteers over the past years when we were renting a house on a big farm. So far, I really enjoyed each other's company for example by learning cultural habits, cooking and watching a film together. Several times, I have taken volunteers sight seeing. I still would like to show volunteers around our area if they like aa there are for example, a couple of nice beaches.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    Depending of time of year and circumstances, I may look for various help. There will be garden and house projects, help with animals, cooking, martial art, art and music.
    I always like to learn new things.
    Please get in touch for what time you are looking for a host and I can let you know about what skills are needed most.

    I am interested in any subjects and life skills such as computer science, woodwork, fishing, crafts, cooking, languages, games, music, and many others too. I try to focus more on music such as learning electric bass guitar, and I am playing a bit of harp.

    At times, I am also looking for someone to help with looking after the pets here. Please get in touch if you are interested in this.

    It would be great if we can share preparing meals, cooking, and general housework. I only mention this as I am usually doing all the house work even if I have a volunteer. But I feel this should be shared as you would need to do that anyway if you live with people.
    There is no strict routine timewise to help out as every day is different here.
    We can arrange beforehand what type of help is needed.

    I am interested in taking a volunteer for a couple of days or for a couple of weeks. Just get in touch and we see ...

    Algo mais...

    I live very rural, 10km from Clonakilty town away. There is no public transport to town from us but I tend to go to places regularly or visit friends. The volunteer can join mostly. There is a bicycle to use here. Clonakilty is popular for being an alternative little town. There are some beaches and surfing is possible.
    Cork city is about 1 hour away by bus. Also some other small towns are around like Kinsale (1 hour by bus, or Skibbereen).
