This was my first world packers experience and to put it simply it was perfect. The effort made from the host so you have an unforgettable stay is fantastic. From the food to the extra activities they put on for you the whole thing was a dream.

I had an absolute blast at the farm! The family are all lovely people and there's lots of banter / jokes shared between everyone, you are not safe from the banter!! The work is varied and fair (I have nightmares about the windows). You are blessed with some of the best home cooking you can taste with every meal made with produce from their own garden. They also strive to immerse you in Swedish culture, taking you to ice hockey matches, kayaking and other activities. I highly recommend you to volunteer here for this family!

After travelling, working and volunteering around Europe for the past 9 months, the month I spent in the farm ended up being one of the best. Astrid and Hein have hit the nail on the end in the way of creating a welcoming, social, friendly environment to volunteer in. Their hospitality and friendship is something I won't forget! The opportunity to get into nature and learn so many new skills was so valuable to me, as well as the ability to meet other volenteers. If you're thinking about applying to this WorldPackers position- just do it, you will not regret it :)

I don't think I'll have enough words to express my gratitude to the Diegelmann family. They made me feel welcomed since day one, and I got to experience so many things in just a few weeks. Hein and Astrid were patient when explaining tasks and sharing their vast knowledge. The activities were different, so I never got bored. I learned a lot from this experience, whether it was about local culture, skills, languages, or meeting other volunteers. I loved having fika, sharing meals with the group, the cultural activities, all the interesting conversations, and playing board games with the boys!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I literally cannot recommend it enough. Socially, the family was so incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They really introduced me to Swedish life and made me feel like a true part of their beautiful family. Work-wise, the volunteer sets the hours. The work is easy and minimal, and usually you are working with others. Accommodation wise I was well fed the whole time and had my own space, which was really nice! As a young woman I felt safe the whole time and had a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you so much, Diegelmann family :)

I spent four weeks with Heine and Astrid and it was an incredible experience. From day one, they made me feel welcome, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere warm and friendly. The tasks around the house and property were varied, enjoyable, and appreciated. The place is beautiful, right by a lake, and the kids are fun and curious. I highly recommend this project to anyone looking for a peaceful, cultural exchange in a stunning environment.

The place Astrid and Hein have chosen as their home is absolutely stunning! Right in the middle of the gorgeous swedish countryside you can forget about almost everything. The family welcomes you whole heartedly and you'll be instantly part of their day to day life. There is plenty of great self cooked food and baked goods and you'll never go hungry even for a minute (you might even have to eat a little too much when it's time for „Fika“ in the afternoon :D). It was an honor to take part in renovating their home and I learned a lot about carpentry and green gardening.

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 🫶🏼
