Life on the island has become a real challenge and inspiration for Chloe Hirst, which she talks about with undisguised enthusiasm.

You can only get there by boat in favorable weather conditions.

Chloe Hurst, 29, from Cornwall, UK, has shared her unique experience of living on a tiny island off the south coast of the Isle of Man that few people know about. The island, known as the “Tail of Man,” became her home for 9 months, despite the harsh conditions that include being able to shower only once a week. The Sun reports.

The Manx National Heritage Island is 600 acres of wilderness, home to birds, seals, dolphins, butterflies and insects. It can only be reached by boat in good weather.

Chloe first heard about her dream job when she came across a vacancy for a volunteer assistant ranger. She applied and soon began her duties, which included tending to the grounds, surveying wildlife and ringing birds.

Despite modest living conditions, where water is needed had to save money and shower only once a week, the British woman fell in love with life on the island. After some time, she returned there as a paid supervisor.

The daily routine included getting up at 5 a.m. to work with the birds, repairing and cleaning the area, and helping to receive cargo from the boats. Chloe admits that the harsh conditions helped her get to know herself better and understand how resilient she was.

The publication notes that the island attracts rare guests – kayakers, paddleboarders and private boats. However, during her entire stay, Chloe met only 40 people there.

The isolation of the island sometimes makes life difficult. In bad weather, access to water and supplies can be impossible for weeks. In such cases, the only way out is to call the coast guard and evacuate by helicopter.

Chloe, who previously studied ecology and biodiversity, considers this experience one of the most amazing chapters in her life. Despite the skeptical views of friends and family, she followed her inner calling for adventure.

“This experience is like the show ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ When you find yourself in such conditions, you begin to understand yourself and your capabilities better,” shared Chloe.
