  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  The house you will be staying in and working around is architecturally interesting and steeped in Irish history. There are a number of similar historically interesting sites and buildings locally, from megalithic tombs to castles.
  
  There is a lot of traditional Irish music played locally.
  
  You would learn about historic home renovation.
  
  If you stayed with us you would be an extended part of our family. We would hope to be able to teach you about living in a rural setting: tending animals, Irish cookery, music and traditions.
  
  we would love to meet and learn from people around the world, particularly languages, music, food and traditions.
