“Just wanted to quickly say how much I am in love with this island! Every single day I feel beyond privileged to be here, and constantly throughout each day I am overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude, from driving the car around like I’ve been here all my life to scooping donkey poop, the list is endless to all the things I am grateful for and thoroughly enjoying. Desiree has a heart of gold & has done everything, above and beyond to make us welcome, comfortable and accommodate us. If I could stay here forever I would! Unfortunately that isn’t possible, but if there is anyway my stay could be extended, I would be the happiest girl in the world!!!! It breaks my heart to think I could only have two weeks left on this glorious island, with my beautiful adopted family (that includes the donkeys)!
I really enjoy the work here, it is so much easier and rewarding than I even imagined. All the team are a joy to work for and being covered head to toe in donkey doo doo dust, hard working sweat and chicken poop each day is a pleasure. Each day I think “this cannot get any better, I cannot possibly be any happier”, and then I am blown away again with how amazing everything is.
Thank you so much for this opportunity.”
