My name is Garaidh, and I enjoy being a host. I value the experiences of my guests. My interests include writing, philosophy, politics (both world and local), culture and history, as well as mountaineering and general exercise. I also prioritize healthy eating. The saying "the salt of the earth" is an old Irish expression that refers to the ordinariness of the peoples. West Cork and the Kingdom of Kerry are separated only by Gaelic football. Yet the people of this land are among the friendliest peoples of the world .There are talented storytellers and singers, and the Irish possess a unique culture. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. go raibh mile maith agat Garaidh
