We love meeting new people and exploring new countries and experiencing cultural diversity. We are passionate about great food, music and travelling and are always looking forward so much to getting away somewhere new and exciting. We have our cottage in West Cork, Ireland and are also listing Lydia's parents house near Killarney - just 2 of us may swap or all 4 - we are open to both. This year it looks like we are restricted to Ireland and are happy to explore both urban and rural options - here is to making the most of 2021?
