The Experience

We live on a small hill farm in the beautiful county Wicklow known as the garden of Ireland. We are a family of four. Becky and Kilian and our daughters Zoe (11) and Bea (8). We are quite remote so it is very serene and peaceful and the view is amazing. We speak English and German as well as French.

My experience at this place was very good. The amazing views and taking care of the animals allow you to take a break from the city. The accommodation is good—not luxurious, but very comfortable. The host is someone who helps you with anything you need and is very understanding. He encouraged us to improve our language skills, and I really appreciated that. His family is also very warm and welcoming.

It's been a great experience. I have improved a lot in English since I arrived. The family is really wonderful. Kilian is very attentive and always wants the best for us. Since the first day, I have felt very good and comfortable here. He does everything to make us happy and to make sure we have a great stay. Thank you again for everything.

A lovely first Worldpackers experience. They say the people make the place, and that sentiment couldn't be more true at the project Farm. Above everything, I will miss the family, volunteers, and locals (and pigs!) dearly. The shed quickly became home, and the work was freeing and quite satisfying. Even though the weather was rarely ever an ally, I am glad to have come here and incredibly grateful for the experience. Much love <3

I had a great time at the project. I learnt to use some machinery, and finishing tasks was rewarding. Work hours are reasonable, leaving enough time to rest. Working here with the wide-open views of the towns and the sea is very peaceful. I also enjoyed spending time with the pigs and getting to know them better. Accommodation is comfortable with a private room and a warm common area. Kilian is a very approachable and easy-going host. His family is so welcoming, and I loved the positive atmosphere they create. I'll always cherish the time I spent on this farm. Thank you!
