Wondering about accomodation...

Is it possible to find someone to host my stay? I don't know if people do that, but it would be great to be able to stay with a native, that way I could make friends easier and have a place to stay! Is this possible?

Staying where? Can give you more specific exchange/host schemes if you let us know where you want to be based.

Ireland's a big place. Where you got in mind??
