It was my first volunteer experience, and I really enjoyed it. The place is beautiful, full of nature, calm, and you can enjoy a real Finnish sauna.

Ahmed and Joel are really amazing people, and Sophia is very smart and helpful. The work is flexible (a bit more challenging in cottage) you can manage your time.

I highly recommend this experience if you love nature, peace, and outdoor activities.

O lado negativo é que o ambiente pode ser bastante desgastante: a anfitriã muito controladora, acaba explorando os voluntários, a comida oferecida é insuficiente, não sendo considerado nem o mínimo necessário (apenas 15 euros para todos, independente quantos sejam, durante a semana). Além disso, passávamos longas horas na cottage trabalhando, muito mais do que o esperado, tarefas "extras" de convívio.

Por outro lado, há pontos positivos: o Ahmed é uma pessoa fantástica, há contato direto com a natureza, oportunidade de conhecer pessoas de outros países e também de praticar o inglês.

The place is nice, a little town in the south of Finland.
Working in the shop is easy, just normal tasks. Joel and Ahmed are amazing people, very easy to talk to.
The cottage is a beautiful place, though sometimes the work can be a bit hard.
Sofia is a very nice person. She needs help with some things because of her MS, but she will always explain clearly how she wants them done. After work it’s nice to spend time with her, have sauna together, go to the lake, and talk.
I really enjoyed the experience and hope you will too.
