About the experience in: Bundoran, Ireland
Spain
My experience in rougey was something I will never forget. It was my first experience volunteering, and I think that thanks to the good feeling that this volunteering left me, I will do it many more times!
The work is very simple and gives you a lot of free time to surf or do activities with the amazing people there.
If you are a surfer, volunteering there is perfect.
I take all the good experiences and the love from Monia, Nikki and the other volunteers with me. I hope to come back soon!

I had an amazing time at Rougey. I felt immediately welcomed by Monia, the manager who is a super nice woman, and the other volunteers as well. I spent 5 weeks in Bundoran, which btw is an adorable little town, and time flew by. The working hours were well respected and the work itself was not too demanding. I didn't have to do anything that surprised me. In your free time you can go surfing, which is fun! We volunteers grew together very quickly and experienced a lot together. They made my time there unforgettable! There was never a dull moment in Rougey. So I can only recommend it!

I had a great six weeks at Rougey! The manager Monia was lovely to me. She was very good at respecting the agreed upon hours & always flexible and accommodating. The work itself was not too challenging & I never felt asked to do too much. I learnt to surf with the equipment there, & would highly recommend it as everyone was so encouraging & always up for a surf trip. The town is lovely & the surrounding countryside beautiful. & I will miss the sofas in the common areas - so comfy!
By the end everyone felt like a family - you will make friends for life! Would definitely recommend.

Estoy muy agradecida por mi tiempo en rougey. Estuve durante temporada baja y no me toco trabajar tanto en general por lo mismo. Se respetaron mis horas de trabajo y mis días libres. Si te gusta el surf es una gran opción porque como voluntarios tenemos el equipo gratis.
Disfrute mucho mi tiempo ahí y la compañía de Monia y de los otros voluntarios 💓
Bundoran es un pueblo chico, pero aún así se siente como estar en casa.
Sin duda volveré en un futuro!!
