April+May 2024: Help repainting our mansion

Brazil

5

Staying at Herrgărd the hostel was my first experience and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I made deep friendships and connections, the place itself is full of nature and life. Amazing food and always good music. It was a rich exchange of culture and learning that I'll carry with me forever. Everyone who works there are genuinely kind and welcoming. Nills is someone who cares about my well-being. He is kind, thoughtful and have a special and unique personality. His whole family welcomed me as if I were one of them, and that's something I'll never forget.

Nils and Helle are amazing, they really made us feel welcomed into their house and we really appreciated that. We'll miss the hostel a lot and all the people we met along the way and we hope to come back in the future. This was such a great experience and we got to see truly what it's like to live in Sweden!

I recommend this experience to everyone, who wants to escape from the fast way of living and like to be in nature. Nils is the best host I could ever wished for. He made us feel like it is our home away from home. The work and working hours were always reasonable. You get to know the tasks after breakfast and sometimes I wished to have it earlier or with more structure. After work there is a lot to do like Kajaking, biking, hiking or just relaxing at the mansion. Thanks for everything!

I think its not possible to take more care of the volunteers as Nils & Helle did. The food was always good and more than enough. If rooms were free, it was always possible to stay in a hostelroom as a private room. We were even aloud to use their car! The workload ist not to much and i had the opportunity to learn new skills in gardening. Nils & Helle place great trust in the volunteers and i highly recommend this place.

My favorite volunteer experience I have done up to this point, Nils and Helle were excellent hosts. The location is beautiful and tranquil, the food is wonderful, and the people and experiences you have are unforgettable. The generosity and kind spirit of the hosts will stay with you long after you've left.

Nils and Helle bring so much joy and love into everything they do. I feel immense gratitude to them for the month I spent at the hostel as my very first Worldpackers experience. We were focused on renovations, so each day was different. From painting to cleaning to hosting a micro disco quiz, I loved the variety of tasks and warm support from them at every turn. They are generous and kind and provide absolutely amazing vegetarian food that feeds the spirit as well as the body. There is so much to explore here and I will be back before long.

Thank you, Helle and Nils for this amazing experience!! Volunteering in Osaby exceeded all my expectations. I loved the family atmosphere of this place, caring attitude, interesting work, great company and magic of the Swedish countryside. Work, living and extra activities were very well organized. I have learned a lot of new skills, for example painting and working with wood. We always had very delicious food and were often invited to family's restaurant, café and amusement park. I met a lot of interesting people from different countries and found new friends.

Excellent place to get in touch with nature, the tasks are flexible as well as the schedule. Nils and Hellen are wonderful people, always willing to teach, share and have fun during fika time (coffee and dessert). Near the residence is the lake, there are several trails to walk through the forest. Without a doubt, a perfect place. exceeded our expectations.
