The place is well organized, tasks are varied, and the campsite is pleasant. However, the atmosphere was difficult: little group cohesion, very gendered task distribution, and a lack of trust from the hosts, who were sometimes mocking or closed-minded toward different opinions. The experience probably depends on the group you're with, but for us, we didn't feel fully welcomed or valued.

Lea you where a good worker and we are very helpful for your time. But yourself and your boyfriend where very closed off to the group often staying in your room all evening, during the creative writing retreat we offered you to come to workshops and a gig you never came. You never once started a conversation at the shared meals. During your days off you never went anywhere, other volunteers managed to travel all around. You guys didn't try to make the most of your time here. So Don't blame us.

The family is kind, open, and welcoming, which I really appreciated. However, I sometimes felt tension in the atmosphere. The area is peaceful but quite isolated, and I was hoping for more social interaction with people my age. One older volunteer often made fun of me behind my back, which really affected me especially when you're abroad and already trying to adapt. Despite that, I'm still grateful for the experience and what it taught me. However thanks a lot for the hospitality !

Nils, the tension that you felt was definitely coming from your accommodation area not us! You say you wanted more social interaction but you spent all your evenings on your computer in the dark or on your phone. On your days off you always stayed around the site and never ventured far. You could of gone to galway or sligo and stayed in a hostel and chatted with people. If your looking for social interaction with people you have to make an effort. Even at the dinner table you barely said a word.
