    Hello! I am Native French speeker and I have been in Galway for one week. I would like to stay more time (the summer if it's possible) to practice my English and meet new people but I need a free accomodation because I haven't money. :(
    That's why it seems to me a good idea to exchange my knowledge for hospitality. :)
    Currently I am living in Spain because I am French teacher there. I have been teaching for 8 years and all levels.
    If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact me ;)
    I wouldn't like to be forced to go now...I like Ireland and I want to have more time to visit it and to know better its culture.
    Thank you for your replies.
    A bientôt!

    Hey just wondering if anyone would be interested in this. We have to move some office furniture but we are really stuck and need a decent sized van. We have no budget as we are a start up non profit group. But we would be willing to do a skills swap. We have everything from Graphic designers, webdesigners, photographers, social media experts, Seo experts, Graphic illustrators to name but a few within our group and we would be willing to help out someone who may need help in return.
    We have everything ready to move and have full access to where we need to move the stuff. Only issue is this needs to be moved fairly fast as in the next 36 hours. If anyone could help at all we would be very very grateful.
