Beschreibung
Hello! I'm Ellen, a recent university graduate of German and Comparative literature and a dual citizen of Ireland and the USA. Although I spent part of of my childhood in Ireland, there is still a great deal that I have not seen, so now that I have finished my degree I would like to spend time exploring more of Ireland! I like to sing and play the violin and I am currently trying to learn more Irish traditional music. I like to practise my German and am also currently starting to learn Irish. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, anything cultural/historical, and also spending time with animals.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have had some experience teaching and I also speak German (probably around a high B2 or low C1 level). I previously stayed on a farm in Wessobrun, Germany where I milked cows and helped with gardening and cooking so I am also familiar with farm work. I also worked as an elderly care assistant and in several hospitality jobs.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help with eco project in East ...)

I stayed in Malcolm and Rachel's beautiful home for two weeks in September to mind their lovely puppy, Rhubarb while Rachel was away. I was mostly on my own with Rhubarb, but I greatly enjoyed it as the location of the house is private and the area is greatly suited for walking. I got very fond of Rhubarb during my time with her (she's such a… read more

vom Host für Workawayer ()

Ellen looked after our gorgeous dog at our house in Galway for 2 weeks while I took a holiday. From the minute she arrived, I knew Ru would be in the best of care. Ellen is a kind, quiet and caring person and was so willing to adapt to our way of living. She took Ru out and about, offering her variety and interest in her day. I received photos of… read more

vom Host (Learn new skills and enjoy a ...) für Workawayer ()

Ellen painted many pieces of furniture to make the sitting room very beautiful. She was very diligent and painted every day in stages to complete the job, also painting the skirting boards. She arrived on Fair Day and took part in the music session that night and she also took part in the Heritage Day music session, playing fiddle. We enjoyed the… read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Learn new skills and enjoy a ...)

I stayed with Sinéad for just over two weeks and it was a lovely experience for my first workaway! I arrived during festival week in Belmullet which was very exiciting, and Sinéad made me aware of the many events going on while I was there so I always had many things to choose from to do in my free time.

Work:
My work here was mostly painting… read more furniture. I also did some cooking and cleaning and of course spent time with Bláithín the poodle (who I even got to take to a dog show in Belmullet <3). The expectations were very reasonable and clear.

Accommodation/the area:
I had a lovely private room for myself with a big bed and everything was very clean. Sinéad has a lovely house so it was a pleasure to stay there. The house is also right in Belmullet town so one has access to bus service and also the town itself, which is ideal. The town is small but vibrant and the local community are very sociable and will always have time for the chat. The weather was pretty horror the whole time I was there but I expected that so it didn't detract from my overall experience.

Experiences/cultural exchange/other:
When I first arrived Sinéad took me on a detailed tour of the Mullet Peninsula which was a fab introduction to the area. She also brought me to some music sessions which I greatly enjoyed and also to the national park (where she works) where I got to do a paper making workshop. I also attended the Belmullet book club, which was great fun, and went to a 2 day seminar held at Solas about the Belmullet area and the assisted emigration there in the 1880s. I also got to make use of the Belmullet library and the Aras Inis Gluaire centre as a whole, which was nice as that was also a way to connect with locals. We had many wonderful nights together watching various programmes (the Rose of Tralee and Squidgame to name a few), playing games such as scrabble and Settlers of Catan, and just chatting. Sinéad also took me "swimming" one morning (I stayed in for all of 10 seconds haha) which was also a memorable experience! Sinéad is such a welcoming person and she encourages you to feel at home as soon as you arrive in Belmullet, so I would very much recommend her as a host! She also ensures that you have enough time to really avail of the many activities going on in Belmullet and also to go sightseeing as there is so much to see in Mayo alone. Thank you Sinéad and Bláithín for such a fab time, miss you both already xx
