About us

Large detached house on cul-de-sac near centre of Moycullen village. Moycullen village is 7 km from Galway city. We have two lovely daughters, aged 12 and 14 (March 2025). I taught English in primary schools in France many years ago. We live beside my mother, who was a teacher of English before she retired. We love Irish music, our pets, and we have a large trampoline in the garden! My daughters and I play Irish traditional music, and we regularly attend Irish cultural events. We love going to the Galway International Arts Festival (www.giaf.ie). The beach is 10 mins away. A horse riding camp (Moycullen) and swimming pool is nearby (Newcastle). We hosted a Spanish student in Summer 2025, and we really loved having her. We would like to host a student from 12th July 2025.
