I am thinking about living in Ireland for awhile, would prefer a more rural area or smaller town or village, would like to rent either a cottage/home or if not possible a room or flat. Liking the Galway or Cork areas or County Wicklow. Need to know how much it would cost me in American dollars for rent and am also curious about the possibility of purchasing some land where I could live, have some animals and grow some vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs. I would not be able to come until summer or fall 2015 and photos would be nice if available, if not just need idea of prices and cost of living. My e mail is [email protected]. I live now in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I might even consider trading places to live but I am very particular and clean and organized so do not wish to return to a mess and problems! Thank you.
