My stay at the home family surpassed any expectation I might have had before coming. Words can not express what I have gained from being with Anna, Joel, the kids and the other volunteers. They are the kind of people you rarely meet in your life, so it's best to cherish the time you spend with them. As with any volunteering opportunity, don't come here if you are expecting a vacation. While the work itself might not be the most challenging, every task requires diligence and thoroughness, especially working with the kids. Come with the right attitude and you will have the time of your life.

I stayed three weeks there and the family is caring and have a lot of knowledge about nutrition and religion, which can be really interesting since they are really open to teach you and debate about almost everything. I had a good conexion with most of the volunteers, but don't expext to meet a lot of people, it's more about staying long time with the same persons :) The only complain I could have it's that the working hours are more than five every day, many days being full day shift, and the free day is only Saturday. But the task are not difficult, they just take a long time. Love the food!

Thank you for your message. I would have appreciated if you told me this personally since I asked ofter if thing were okay and if you needed free. Many times you said that you can help if needed. Some days were all days to work because there were things that needed to be done. You got days off the whole day beside the saturday, ex: visingsö day. You often had half day off. In working hours is not included the eating time or taking dishes because you would have needed to do it anyway if free.

I stayed with Anna and Joel for just over 2 weeks. I helped them with various tasks: gardening, playing and spending time with the children, helping with house tasks (cleaning and organising) and assisted with their the home. They are kind and generous people who try and help to make the world a better place by being passionate about people having a healthier lifestyle nutrition wise - which is what their the home is based on. Thank you for everything, Take Care :) !

I had a good time in this family and enjoyed taking care of the children. They were very kind and funny! Anna and Joel are wonderful people who always tried to make me feel comfortable. I have to say that the house really is surrounded only by nature so if you are a person who loves visiting cities or go out at night, this is not a place for you. The schedule is flexible though so you can take the bus during the week and visit cities such as Linkoping, Jonkoping etc. On the week-end you can go to Granna by car with the family too. Thank you for this experience !

Our volunteer experience at the home was exceptional. We solved website problems, enjoying flexible schedules. Regular meetings helped fix plugins that caused slowdowns. We adopted their vegan lifestyle, learning about healthy foods and habits. Her advice improved our understanding of nutrition. Time with her family enriched our routines. Anna is caring and attentive. Joel is a person of pleasant conversation. The children are delightful. The beauty of the environment has left an indelible impression on us. This experience has enriched us personally and professionally. Thank you!

This was my first experience as a volunteer, and it was amazing! Joel and Anna are a fantastic family, they are very sweet and kind people, and they really make you feel like part of the family. They are always willing to accommodate your needs. My work involved spending time with the children, helping out a bit in the garden and around the house, but I also had free time to visit nearby cities and relax (highly recommend a swim in the lake! :) )

I can't describe how wonderful the last two months with Anna, Joel, and the boys have been. It was my 1st Worldpackers experience, and I worked with Joel on the website. I felt welcomed and loved the respect and care I received. Anna is a saint who takes great care of everyone, and her food is amazing! Boet is a tiny town (a few houses really), but perfect for peace and nature. Healthy lifestyle and well-being are a priority here. Communication was great. You can tell Anna and Joel have traveled in the past and have been hosting volunteers for several years. I'm really going miss this place. ❤

There is not enough words for this experience!😍 Staying with Joel and Anna was simply amazing. They are both such kind souls, helping and really caring. Anna's food was AMAZING and I felt like being a part of the family but you also had your own space and time to see the gorgeous nature with the lakes or the nearby towns😊 Also being with the kids was so nice. They are such nice boys and it's really fun to play with them. I cannot recommend this place enough I enjoyed my time SO SO MUCH and would love to come back😁

This was one of the greatest experience in my life. Anna and Joel are really kind people and we got along very well. They treated me like a part of their family while I was there. I recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for getting in touch with nature, help people and learn a lot interesting things about health and habits. The work I did there were simple but nice, I enjoyed all of it and when the day ends you really feel like you did something that's useful. Thank you I had the best time, hope to see you again!
