The O'Connor Family
Trusted Host Family
Doubly vettedAbout us
We live in Dunboyne which is about 40 minutes into the city centre on bus number 70 or we also have a train that goes directly into the city centre. We have a lovely relaxed home in a 4 bedroom detached house. We are located in a very quiet and safe estate in Dunboyne. It is just myself and my mam, my brother is also a nurse and he lives in Australia. I am 40 and I am an artist/designer, I have lived abroad in Italy and Germany and I have worked as an English teacher for 3 years in Venice. My mam is in her 60's and she is a nurse. We have 3 lovely cats and 3 chickens. The room is spacious, bright and comfortable and you would be sharing the bathroom with just me. We have a power shower which means there is always hot water. The area is very peaceful here so it is a great place to study. We have a lovely sitting room and during the winter my mam lights a fire a lot so it is very comfortable to relax in the evening. We also have fast internet. We like to go walking, shopping, also going to the cinema, gardening, cooking, reading books, meditation, taking care of pets and watching TV
