Descrição
Hi,
I'm recently retired and I love to travel, volunteer, meet new people and enjoy life. My grandparents were from Ireland and my plan is to visit the country where they were from to learn a bit more about my family history.

Prior to my retirement, I was a sustainability manager for an automotive company. My key responsibilities were to ensure responsible sourcing of key materials used in our products.

I am a home owner so I am very familiar with routine maintenance. In addition, I love to cook and garden. I'm very capable of office type work and watching children and pets (except cats due to allergies).

I am friendly and outgoing so I can assist guests and family needs. I am environmentally responsible and love to learn about new ways to help our environment.

Kelly came to stay with me for two weeks and was a very companionable guest. Very quickly, she adjusted to the house culture and was willing to put her hand to any of the tasks in and outside that needed attending to. She had an infectious positivity and enthusiasm which made her a joy to have around. She was generous in her giving of her help and… read more

This was my second Workaway experience and it was fabulous. My host (Imogen) was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place to someone considering a Workaway. Her rural home was beautiful with a very creative garden area and a beautiful polytunnel chalked full of every kind of fruit and veg you can imagine. She has worked hard to create… read more

My stay with Nicholai was my first Workaway experience and first time in Ireland. It was AMAZING. Far better than I ever imagined. I am a 61 year old woman and my plan was to do a Workaway for appx 3 weeks and then travel on my own for 3 wks. Nicholai was an amazing host.
THE HOUSE/ ACCOMODATION was fabulous. Built in 1898 (I think) it was a… read more beautiful Victorian full of love, charm, and art. The house was very very clean and comfortable. I felt like I was in a 5 star B&B. The surrounding gardens were STUNNING to say the least. Nicholai has numerous garden areas full of beautiful flowers, tiny paths, sitting areas and places to go totally zen. One of the rooms in the house was reserved as a "B&B guest room". In addition to myself, there were either one or two other Workawayers there. I really enjoyed interacting with the other Workawayers and the B&B guests.
TRANSPORTATION - Although the house was appx 15-20 minutes drive from downtown Sligo, Nicholai was very gracious with providing transportation to town, the bus station, or a nearby attraction several time per week.
THE WORK - Nicholai likes everything spotlessly clean and tidy. My jobs included, cleaning (vacuum, dust, iron, washing windows, prep room for B&B guest), weeding outside garden & trimming flowers, painting the inside of the coach house and whatever else needed to be done. None of the work was onerous and Nicholai strives to find tasks that people are good at (thus I stayed away from the cooking - haha). My work hours were generally 8a-1p or 9-2. Nicholai was very flexible as long as the work got done in a timely manner (and with quality of course).
THE FOOD - Nicholai is an AMAZING cook & baker. He strives to accommodate his B&B guests as well as his Workawayers preferences.
MY ADVENTURES - While doing my Workaway, I took my days off to visit Belfast (incl Giants Causeway, Black Taxi Tour, Tiatanic), Donegal (incl Slieve League), Galway (what can I say ... simply amazing). In addition to my independent travels (by bus), there are TONS of sights to see around Sligo. Some of the things I did (thanks to transportation from Nicholai and the other Workawayers) included hiking Knocknarea, Caves of Keash, Queen Maeve's tomb, climbing Benbulben (ohhh yeah - great adventure), Strandhill beach, riverwalk in downtown Sligo and MUCH more. All of this was made possible because of the kind recommendations and the generous assistance with transportation from the very best host in the world - Nicholai (and his very very cute dog Scooter).
THE HOST - I cannot say enough about Nicholai. He is a very kind and generous man who graciously shares his beautiful home with B&B guests and Workawayers. He shares his knowledge of Sligo and Ireland's most interesting sites with his guests. He prepares meals that are second to none. He has developed world class gardens that provide beauty and enjoyment. He maintains and immaculately clean home. He is the perfect host. I highly recommend Nicholai as a host for Workawayers (or B&B guests). I hope I have the opportunity to return soon.

Kelly was an amazing lady we had many laughs together and her work for me varied from helping in the house garden to painting to entertaining guests at the B&B.
Kelly will be sadly missed by myself and Scooter and of course Angela the fugitive Workaway.
I can guarantee that if you have the opportunity to meet Kelly then grab it as she is amazing… read more
