I loved it so much! Such a great experience and I got to meet so many cool people. It felt like a home away from home and I wish I could have stayed longer!

I had a great time at the farm, the host was welcoming and appreciated my work, there were many other volunteers to bond and hang out with. The house is a bit dirty and full of flies, but I guess it's to be expected considering the kind of place. Although the workshop was not super organized, Olle always helped me to find stuff, also by text when he was away. The first days he prefers if you make a detailed plan with him before you start working by your self

My experience at the farm can be described as extremely positive. I had a wonderful time both while working and not. Regarding the first case I can say that I enjoyed the tasks very much, and I feel the need to thank Olov and the other farmers as they have been very kind and willing to teach. The environment at the farm allowed me to develop interesting relationships with the other volunteers so that we were able to do many things together in our free time while having a lot of fun. Olov is also willing to show you the local life and keep you informed on the nice activities happening around.

This was my first time using Worldpackers and I am overall satisfied with my experience. I met so many amazing people. Working alongside the dairy farmers (Ake, Maria, Anders, and Jesper) was an absolute joy and an incredible learning experience. They are great people and are happy for the help. Accommodations were adequate. Volunteers have private rooms . The house isn't the cleanest, but this is somewhat in control of the volunteers. Olov, the host, was away from the farm for over half my stay, but I met him when I first arrived and the expectations for my stay were communicated clearly.

This was my first volunteering and i think it couldn't have been better. All the tasks were great and the time flew by: working with cows, fixing windows or gardening. The workers were just lovely, willing to help you with anything. There were also lots of things to do in the free time: cafes, cycling, lakes, ice skating or thrift shops. Olov is great, willing to show you the local life and keeping you informed of all the events going on. It has been a unique and unforgettable experience, I would highly recommend it.

This experience has been absolutely amazing. I mainly focused on the cows (which were amazing) however I also did some shifts in gardening, picking berries, cleaning and carpentry. The work you do can vary in what you want and what is needed as well as the skills you have. Everybody there was very kind and explained everything. Olov is an amazing person we had so much fun with him, he always informed us of events that were going on. Åke and Marie are responisble for the cow farm and a great people and I enjoyed spending my time with them during our fika. I had a wonderful time!

Initially, we were unsure because of the lack of cleanliness. But once we settled in and tidied, the experience improved. Olov's place is very tranquil and comfortable. We were with a great group that took turns cooking, cleaning, etc. The work isn't too difficult but very rewarding. I helped in the garden and enjoyed picking potatoes, apples and berries to immediately use in the kitchen. Olov is a wonderful person who welcomes you with open arms and has a lot of knowledge. I recommend this experience for anyone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty or live in close quarters with others.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was a good one. All of the work is very fair and Olov allows you to decide your work each day and give you some direction and guidance on how to do it. The house was a bit messy, but we had a great group of other volunteers who all pitched in to clean it up and make it more tidy and cozy. The land itself is absolutely gorgeous, very green trees and grass with colorful sunsets every night. The nightlife is not equal to a major city, but you can find things to do and Olov will send you some events in the area happening as well. Would recommend
