This experience was truly amazing!! It was my first volunteer experience and it definitely couldn't have been in a better place. Olle isn't at the farm soma days, but he is very attentive to what we need and is very flexible with the task that have to be done. He always lets the volunteers participate in what they like and patiently teaches you what you don't know how to do. If you really want to live an experience that allows you to meet people, work independently and be close to nature, this experience is a great option.

I've been with many hosts and I always tell them before leaving that thank you so much for the food, for the hospitality, for teaching me and for everything, (my mom taught me that way) but I've a particular love for some hosts that I appreciate much they gave me love, respect, care and affection I'd love to say it before I say goodbye because this's the end of this learning, I had fun so much, I never knew what my host would write about me until the end, but I tell everyone that I believe in God and God sees every act we do, so thank to all for the opportunities, a hug, we love OLOV too much

Olov is one of the funniest people I've met in my travels all around the world ; he's the definition of a true Swede! His love for his history and his family is so obvious and I found it really endearing. He's also a vessel of the broadest amount of knowledge - he always has an answer to any issue we came across and taught me the important of perseverance when solving problems. I got to shadow him for the majority of my time and I feel so lucky that he shared so much of his knowledge with me during my stay. Thankyou so much Olov!!!

This was my 1st World Packers experience & I spent 3 weeks on Olle's farm. Positives. - Söderala nature, walks & bike rides. - Flexible hours & Olle & his family were great, patient teachers. - Olle's amazing cooking. - Twice I explored the great city of Uppsala. Negatives: - Olle was often gone teaching during the week, so there were always 1-2 “responsible people” who cooked & cleaned for other volunteers. I wish these volunteers were given more specific teamwork expectations. Overall I had fun & am grateful to the family for this time! ❤️

Many thanks to Olle's for this amazing experience. I had a great time with Olle in the farm, Söderhamn and Uppsala. Olle, his brother and the other workers with the farm production were such kind persons. One of the best things that I love about my experience is the variety of tasks and the flexibility in choosing the one that suits me. I really enjoyed staying on the farm. I will miss Olle and the volunteers.

The experience at Olles farm couldn't have been better for my first Worldpackers volunteer experience. The farm and surrounding area are beautiful! You can literally pick berries in the garden or forage blueberries just across the road. There a variety of things that can be done for the work. From carpentry to gardening to working with the cows. I encourage every volunteer to at least try one shift at the farm production to learn about it :) Olle and his Brother Åke made sure we were always comfortable and were super helpful with any problems :)

Well, what can I say, here I lived one of the most amazing months of my life. Firsty, I didn't expect to enjoy working with animals that much, but I completely loved it. Also, the people I met there couldn't have been better. Having a bike was amazing , the region really invites you to do so. The people I've met were always polite, making sure that everything was alright. Despite the fact that was my first volunteering experience, I couldn't be happier. The only downside that I faced was not staying longer. Thank you Olle for this amazing experience that I will never forget.

I did my first experience with worldpackers in Olov's house and it couldn't be better. I really enjoyed a lot working there. You have a lot of different kind of jobs that you can choose to do and it's very flexible. I was most of the time taking care of the cows and picking up fruits in the garden. It was lovely! But the best part of this experience was the atmosphere there. We did lots of things together as a family and Olov is always taking care of you.
