Overall, the experience was pleasant. The relationship with the other volunteers was wonderful, as was that with Olov, Jasper, Maria Ake, and Andresch. The work was dynamic and stimulating. I would only recommend paying more attention to cleanliness and order, but Olov's hospitality was wonderful, almost like being at home.

Volunteering in Sweden has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. From the very first day, I was welcomed with warm gestures and the genuine hospitality of Swedish culture. The host was incredibly kind, respectful, and made me feel like a part of the family. The work was fair, well-organized, and gave me the chance to learn new skills while still having time to explore nature and reflect on myself. Being surrounded by such peaceful landscapes brought me the mental clarity I had been craving.I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to reconnect with nature !

The experience was very good. At first, I was a bit shocked by how messy the house was, but in the end, you get used to it. I worked in the garden so the working hours were very flexible.

This experience was amazing. Olov and his brother Åke were great hosts and I learned so much from them. Olov would bring the volunteers to different cultural events/locations and always had recommendations for things to do when we had free time. The work with the cows was intense and might take some time to adjust to, but it's very routine. I really enjoyed the work and the experience outside of it, bonding with volunteers and Olov. Would recommend if you want to learn a new skill and experience local culture!

I had a great experience at the farm. It definitely taught me a lot and was so different from everything I've done before. Olle was very welcoming. He took us to concerts, local events and kept us updated about events happening in town. He gave us bunch of valuable pro-tips about traveling Sweden. Overall I had valuable time and would recommend the experience to anyone willing to immerse with the local culture and farmlife.
