26-year-old looking for a place to stay while teaching abroad

Hello!

I've started working and travelling a couple of weeks after turning 18. Since then I've had experience living alone, with others and with my partner.
I'm usually very active when staying abroad to experience the local culture as much as possible, thus I'm mostly at home to rest. I'm no person for partying, I rather enjoy play dates, sports reading and going out in general. But truth be told, I'm very curious about everything, so I am up for suggestions and ideas.

I'm a teacher and during my time in Cork I will work as such, so, I won't be home a lot during the day. However, I would really love to spend some quality time with my roommates from time to time.
