April+May 2024: Help repainting our mansion

China

5

This is my first volunteer experience and I can't expect better one than this! I felt so lucky to have such a great chance to work here for two weeks. Nils&Helle and Nils' Mom are all super kind and sweet people and the kids are so adorable. The place is surrounded by beautiful nature and I enjoyed my morning jogging there very much. The daily tasks are not difficult to handle( painting, kitchen cleaning, mansion renovation),especially with the support from Nils and other helpful volunteers.the work time is respected and we have enough time to enjoy the local activities. Highly recommended!

Kind of hard to describe the experience with only words. The place is incredible! Full of nature, good energies and peace. Nils and Helle are amazing people, with a very special family! The work is adorable and the free time is full of fun! Everything was very respectful!

Being with Nils and his family was a very enriching experience. With them I was able to understand some of the local culture, practice English and try delicious dishes, in addition to enjoy the beautiful nature 😇. Thank you guys for your willingness, patience and all the good moments ❤️❤️

My time at Nils and Helle's place was amazing! Even though it was a quiet time, I got to do fun things like cleaning, painting, gardening and setting up for parties and gatherings. Nils and Helen were always so kind and made sure we had everything we needed, from food to rides to the city for our little trips during the days off. I had a great time practicing my English, learning new skills and learning about Swedish traditions. The whole family and the other volunteers made me feel right at home. I'd recommend this experience to anyone! Thanks a lot for making my stay so memorable!

Couldn't have asked for a better volunteer experience than the one I had at the hostel! Helle and Nils are the kindest hosts. They truly care about the wellbeing of their volunteers. They catered for my vegan needs, gave me rides to town on weekends, and always asked me if I had everything I needed to feel at home. Since it was off season, I mostly helped with cleaning and gardening, but the hotel opened on Easter, and it was beautiful to see the place alive with guests. I learned some new skills such as wood polishing, and did some painting too. Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

We just have to thank Neils and Helle, they are very special people. The hosts are always concerned and seek the best for the volunteer. We spent our birthday with them and it was very special. The children are too cute and Neils' family welcomed us as if we were part of them. The working hours are respectful and the cleaning work is easy, but outdoor work is a challenge, but they have always been patient with us. We loved living the days we spent in Osaby!

It was our first Worldpackers and it couldn't be better! Nils and Helle are amazing people who live a nice life in Osaby! Since Växjo is 20 minutes from there we stayed almost all the time in the hostel but we had amazing experiences in the city! We won birthdays gifts that meant the world to us and made us feel so welcome and cared! It was our first birthday away from home so it really was something special! The working hours are always respected, the cleaning job is easy. For us outside job was challenging but they were always patient and kind with us! We'll miss our hostel so much!!

What I appreciated about this experience was the quiet, peaceful surroundings and being close to nature, which was perfect when the weather was warm and sunny. However, I personally would have liked a bit more structure and clarity around the volunteer tasks. It would also have been great to be able to use the bikes to explore the lush green surrounding areas, but unfortunately, they had a flat tire. I am however sure that with a few small improvements, this could be an even better experience for future volunteers. Thank you for hosting me and good luck in the future.

The hostel is truly a beautiful place where the surroundings are breathtaking, you will feel safe and comfortable in the accommodation. Nils and Helle were nice they even let me drive their electric car ,during my stay some moment were more tense than others probably due to some stress around events they were preparing but I know they always had good intentions. Their is room for opportunity to provide the tasks to do in more clearer way , it was not really a clarity on the food for the diner but they will always say all ok in case you would need to pick up food from the kitchen.

Nils & Helen are amazing hosts who pay close attention to volunteers' well-being. The mansion was closed since it was off season, so my task mainly consists of clearing up storage and garden area. It was quite physical but Nils always makes sure we have safe gears before any task. Helen cooks really well and I miss the peace and quiet there. Overall it was a great experience!
