The McGrane Family
SuburbsDublin, Ireland
Trusted Host Family
Doubly vettedAbout us
A very happy and relaxed home with a welcoming environment for everyone who visits and stays here. Most important is my little dog, who is 10 years old and of course who thinks is the boss and will greet you with lots of love and a bark!
I have travelled far and always remember my first experience as an 18 year old working in Germany, so I know what it's like to arrive in a foreign country and the challenges it brings.
As for myself, I really enjoy gardening and there are lots of houseplants in my home. I also love knitting and making all sorts of things. My home has a lovely, relaxed feel and energy and I hope you feel this way, when staying here. As I work in mental health services (I am qualified as a psychiatric nurse and a cognitive behaviour therapist), I am very interested in psychology, positive mental health and I think there are so many stresses in life, that we all should be kind and understanding to each other.
My partner is from Spain and will encourage you to speak English and help you out as he knows what it is like to learn a foreign language.
My home is situated in Swords, North County Dublin and there is lots to see and do around here (including a great shopping centre!)
