Laissé par le workawayer (Anna) pour l'hôte

This family is just amazing! From the minute I arrived everything felt like home to me. Jennie introduced me to everyone we met and helped me finding new friends. The kids and Jennie showed me loads of beautiful places in Wicklow and I just fell in love with this place. I had my own comfortable room and everybody respected my privacy. But I just… read more

Let me just start by saying how truly amazing and kind this family is and what a wonderful experience I had whilst staying with them. I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! Alan, Jennie, Chris, Ben, Tom, Stanley, Rosie and Dougal (their dog) have the ability to make you feel at home since the beginning and make every moment with them memorable and amazing. Before… read more I knew it, it was already time for me to leave. Time flies by in good company. Even faster in great company!

Staying with them, I had the pleasure at looking for the three children – but mostly Rosie and Stanley. Tom is already very independent and cares for himself most of the time. He is very smart, I am still impressed by all his knowledge and I cannot wait to see what he will do, when he is grown-up. Stanley is amazingly warm-hearted and giving, whilst always making sure to keep you on your toes 😉. I will never forget our runs together and his explanations about Irish culture. Rosie is a true sunshine - there is no other way describing her. I enjoyed every smile of her and will never forget the most amazing sleepover we had in her room. I miss them all and hope to see them again very soon.

I also did about 3 hours of housework five times a week and went for amazing walks with their dog. (There is so much to explore, and I can hardly imagine a more beautiful place to live. If you love nature, come here!!!). You also have a lot of free time and Jennie will always make sure to arrange lifts to the nearby town, she also helped me to get a spot in the local running club and helped my twin sister to find a host family. She was always there to help with anything you could possibly need. Honestly, I think Jennie is one of the kindest people on earth – she always puts the needs of everyone else first and is such a strong and wonderful woman.

I had a lot of great adventures while being there. Dublin is only 1 hour by bus and from there you can do trips to almost everywhere. I went to Cork and Malin Head with other Workawayers and it was amazing!!!

All in all, I learned sooo much in the 2,5 months with this family and I would not want to miss a single moment.
I highly recommend staying with this family, if you want to experience real Irish kindness. They are incredibly good people and will give you an amazing experience. I promise that there will never be a dull moment and that you will fall in love with this family instantly. Just like I did, when I stepped out of the bus and saw Rosie running to me to give me a hug.

Last, but not least, I want to apologize for writing this review so late, I hope you understand, I just forgot with Corona and my studies…
I love you all and thank you again for hosting me. I hope to visit again very soon.
Love, Nicola

Sitting down to write this review feels really weird, because would you write a review about your mom? Your dad? Your siblings? Your family?

Because that's exactly who these people are: family. From the moment Jennie collected me at the bus stop in Wicklow I knew I was in for an adventure. Off the bat, she is the most warm and welcoming host you… read more

I had a very nice time in Wicklow with Jennie and her lovely family. I only stayed for 4 weeks, which was really a pity, because just when I got to know everyone quite well I had to leave.
