About the experience in: Castleisland, Ireland
Brazil
Living with Howard in the home has been a great experience, one that I wish to repeat. Howard is great at teaching and instructing you in the work requested, the work was very physical demanding on the first weeks, but he compensated that by allowing us to work a few hours less, he always respected the agreed working hours. Although the house being restored it is very well equipped with heating, warm shower, kitchen and cleaning appliences. Howard is a great guy, inteligent and with a good sense of humor, this experience is great if your looking for a peacufull place to learn new skills.

Howard and his two Dogs are very welcoming in their house in the Irish countryside. Communication with Howard is straightforward, easy and dependable. The work I did was physically demanding but fair. Working hours were respected and there are breaks to have easy conversation and some builders tea.
I absolutely recommend staying with Howard if you don't expect a party hotspot, as the location is pretty remote. There are pubs around if you want to have a few beers and get into conversation with locals and you can explore the Irish countryside if you choose to do so.

Australia
This was truely a wonderful experience. We worked on a 200+ year old rock wall, something we don't have in Australia and the weather held out for all 9 days. I learnt so much and can take this new found knowledge with me. Howard is the perfect gentleman & has a lot on his plate with such a large project with many years of renovations ahead of him. I was treated to wonderful dinners & great conversation. I highly recommend this adventure but only if you're ready & willing to work & put in the honest effort & hours. I look forward to returning to help out again some day. Thank you Howard!!🦘🦘🦘

Me and my partner Ben spent two weeks at the home and it was a great time. We learnt new skills, enjoyed the rural life and felt very welcome. Howard and his mate Glyn were always up for a good conversation, we took turns cooking and exchanged experiences. The two dogs, Angus and Minky are super lovely and always happy to be taken on a walk. We'd be happy to come back one day.

Me and Johanna really loved our time with Howard at the home. Howard is dedicated to the project he has going and is more than happy to get volunteers involved with all different tasks. He will thoroughly go through each task with you so you feel comfortable in what you are doing and is happy to answer any questions you have. You will be fed very well in return for some good work and will take turns in cooking each evening. We really enjoyed spending time with Howard and socialising over dinner with his friend Glyn with good conversation and some great puds :) Also lovely dogs!
