This couple quit city life to take up a dream job as caretakers of a remote Irish island
How far would you go to escape burnout? For one couple, the answer was about 450 miles west and into the Atlantic Ocean.
They were told there had been about 150,000 to take care of the island in the last five years. So to stand out, Regan and Campbell did away with a written application and instead sent in a video montage. Dan and Emily get free food and accommodation to manage the island and receive a salary from the owners.The job is as multifaceted as you would imagine from running an island. Shearing some of the island's 200 sheep and giving them their vitamins is part of the job, as is looking after overnight guests and making coffee for day visitors.
They do all these tasks on an island with no hot running water or conventional electricity. The couple uses a car battery connected to a wind turbine to power some essentials like their phones and head torches for guests.
