The Experience

I had a wonderful time at the eco village! The hosts are so kind, welcoming and lovely. Working there is really fun, it's never boring or the same and the hours are fair and they are also very flexible if you want to make a trip or something like that. I met wonderful people and made many new and wonderful friendships!! Absolutely recommended to go there!

I had such an incredible time as my first solo volunteer trip at the eco village. Everyone I met was so kind and open, and I made so many great memories with my little volunteer family. There is a bus stop right across the road so it is super accessible to travel around in your free time, which is made easy by how flexible they are with working hours/banking work hours. The building as well is an incredibly cool place, and it's so fun to explore and see all the art (and the beautiful nearby lake). Altogether an amazing time and I would definitely recommend if you want a cool spot in Finland :).

The eco village is a place you should visit without overthinking it, because whatever you imagine will be completely different from reality. It's a huge space, full of new experiences and learning opportunities. The work you can do there ranges from everyday tasks like cleaning or organizing to maintenance projects. The experience itself is incredible, and the atmosphere is an adventure of its own. If you enjoy the peace of the forest, swimming in the lake, making new friends, and discovering new things, the eco village is for you!

The eco village is a nice place, in the middle of a forest. A lot of time to connect with nature, but also not so far from the capital. The hours and jobs were easy and flexible and the hosts and people who work there are all very kind.
