It has national parks our favourite is Glenveagh, Sliabh Liag Cliffs which is Europe's highest sea cliffs, Many nature Reserves, it has so much to offer especially for family activities and family days out. As a family we like to do a lot of outdoor activities especially hill walking and mountain climbs. My husband is a trained Medic Diving Instructor. He dives all round the beaches in Donegal in the summer. He also does Paragliding which he absolutely loves to do. My husband can be quite competitive in sport. He likes to run to keep fit. He also plays in a music band at weekends. He plays the guitar and really enjoys doing this hobby also.I am a very active person. I am a member of a running club for 15 years now. I have completed 4 marathons and numerous half marathons and 5k's. I love to go hill walking at the weekends and work out in the gym before work during the week. I love my work I have been working with young people for over 14 years. I love to travel and see the world. My favourite place is Australia. We have recently become grandparents for the first time to a beautiful little boy Lochie. Our oldest daughter Rachel 33 lives in Perth Australia. She works in Transportation. Our 19 year old daughter Charley is a life guard in the local leisure centre and she starts Queens University in Belfast this September. Charley enjoys swimming and going to the gym also.

She wants to study Marine Biology.Our youngest daughter Grace 16 is studying for her GCSE exams in June and she wants to study Interior Design or Real Estate. Grace also enjoys going to the gym with her sister and likes to go walking with me at the weekends.We have a holiday home in Co. Donegal where we go from April - September every year at weekends. It is in a village called Downings which is so beautiful and part of the Atlantic Drive Coastal Area. Our holiday home has 3 bedrooms and its situated 2 min walk from the beach and the local village. It is such a beautiful area and we all look forward to the weekends to get away for a break and some family time. As a family hosting a student we would plan activities around the interest and hobbies of the student. We like to plan a walk on Saturdays or some times we go bowling depending on the weather. We usually do a cinema night once a week and a beach walk on Sundays as I do a sea dip most Sundays.
