Trusted Host Family
Doubly vettedAbout us
We are Shelby and Ryan from South Africa living in Ireland for 8 years, married couple in our Thirties. Both have younger siblings who are always here. All of our friends have children too and hopefully one day we will have as well. We have 3 dogs and a cat who thinks this house is a hotel. Ryan is a construction Plumber and I own my own business selling Hot Tubs & Saunas. We have healthy staple meals and I cook every night. We live close to the field and often take our dogs for walks there, or to the forest and sometimes the beach. Our typical evening is walking, cooking and watching tv. On weekends we are always exploring Ireland and happy for people to tag along.
