Hi I am Gerben, originally Dutch, but I've been living in county Clare, in west of the Republic of Ireland, since 2006. Before that I was living mostly in and around Amsterdam, Holland.
I lived 13 years in county Clare, and now I just moved to a lovely cottage on two and half acres in the Maugerick mountains, 300 meters + uphill.
You can also pitch your tent at my place (1st night free), as listed via: https://1nitetent.com/en/home/

Only tent camping place of this kind in Ireland.

I like to volunteer for green and social justice local community events, got green fingers too, I like animals, I have a near cat (well I am just her humble staff) and I like to hike and cycle. I am a non-smoker and a vegetarian. But easy going and down to Earth. Check out my public facebook profile: facebook.com/gerbenuunk. Or Twitter: @gerbenuunk. Skype id: gerbenirl
I am also active for the Party for Animal Welfare.
