Sandsböla
Experience the relaxed way of life in Sweden. Learn about craftmanship, gardening, fishing and Swedish and German culture. Learn how to bake your bread and how to brew your beer. Learn about picking mushrooms and wild berries. Enjoy our good homemade food every day.
We are a family of four, to adults and two boys. We are easy going people and try to live a partly self sufficiant life. For us it's important that both parts - hosts and volunteers - have the feeling they did benefit from their stay. We are looking forward to cultural exchange with people from all over the world, and we'd like to have volunteers from as many different countries as possible.

About the experience in: Figeholm, Sweden
Honduras
My stay with Heid and Astrid was wonderful. The farm, a beautiful place, connects you with nature from the very first moment. As my first volunteer experience, I took away unforgettable memories: they are a welcoming family and their pets are delightful.
Thank you for everything 🫶🏼

I stayed with Hein and Astrid for almost 6 weeks and had some of the best days of my travels there. Their home is beautiful, right by a lake, and the work was always fun and varied—gardening, building beehives, helping with renovations, and more. They made me feel totally at home, always offering things to do on days off, and kept me very well fed with amazing food. The 3-day kayaking trip was unforgettable (I even saw a moose swimming!). They’re generous, kind, and full of good energy. Truly great people—couldn’t recommend them more!

Was a incredible experience, they are very welcoming and nice family. I learned a lot about permaculture, local food and their country life. Hein and Astrid are fantastic host, they were very kind, and always listened to me when I needed something.
Their country life is wonderful, every day there is something different and entertaining to do. They have a lot of patience and encouragement to explain the processes of the field.
Thanks very much.

Staying at Sandböla was a truly incredible experience. Hein and Astrid made me feel so welcome and part of the family. They are very relaxed with how much you do and it was all really enjoyable and stress-free work. For me this involved chopping firewood, some gardening and working with timber and some handheld tools and much more. Their communication was really good and the food they prepared was some of the best I’ve ever had. The activities we did like kayaking and ice hockey games were amazing and I’d highly recommend for those wanting to experience Sweden!
