I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jgen Hartogs and I live, work and study in County Limerick, Ireland. I have previously lived in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Carrigaline and other places in Ireland. Having lived in Belfast, Dublin and Cork I now live in county Limerick in a typical, rural town. I'm working as a tour guide in German, English, Dutch and Flemish daily, and I studied Local History and Regional Studies at UCC and Cultural Anthropology at Colaiste Stiofan Naofa. I have over 10 years experience as a tour guide in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. I have experience giving city tours in Limerick, Cork, Belfast, Galway and Dublin as well as walking/hiking tours and bus tours all around the aforementioned countries. The last 3, 4 years I have worked for several tour companies on a free-lance basis providing tours all around Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland and done several day tours for day tour companies. I have a diploma in Local History and Regional Studies from UCC and have written several books on the folklore, history and archaeology of south Co. Cork, where I used to live before I moved to Ballingarry, Co. Limerick. I have fluent, native level, German, Dutch and Flemish as well as English at native level with an accent that has been described as half Kerry, half Welsh. On a personal level I have a huge interest in GAA, especially football, history, folklore, archaeology and Irish dance and music. I have a lot of friends in the music and dancing scene and know most places in Ireland and Scotland like my backyard.
