Descrição
We are a family of three children, 16 year old Daniel, 14 year old Josie and 12 year old Thady, and myself Cathy, the mum. We live on a 15 acre farm right down to the sea on the beautiful rugged, isolated Beara peninsula, two hours. by bus from Cork City. I have the children half of the time and I'm an artist setting up artist's residential studios and workshops. I want to revitalise two studio buildings. I am often away to college in Cork, one or two days a week. We have dogs and horses.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Travellers will learn about rural Ireland, setting up an artist's studios, caring for animals, horse riding, eat good vegetarian food, socialising with young Irish teenagers, practising English and having a great space to stay. As an artist I can cater and accommodate for their own projects. They will be in a landscape where there is amazing scenery to explore by hiking or biking. Nearby towns and villages are accessible by bus.

Acomodação
There is independent accommodation available (when not in use) and there are bedrooms inside the house for when guests are in the studios. As the children are here only half the time, the house oscillates between full and chaotic and empty and calm.
Algo mais...
There are wonderful local natural history sites, stone circles, standing stones and views of the Skellig Islands. There's a vibrant, friendly local fishing and farming community with artists and eco-and alternative minded people around. Kenmare, Bantry and Cork are only a bus drive away with many locals happy to offer lifts.
