Spending time with the project, the project, Finn and Lara was one of the best experience in my life! Unfortunately I couldn't learn much about gardering since the weather didn't help but the general tasks were not hard to do. I learned a lot about the swiss life and realized I have a cooking skill I didn't know!! the project has magical hands when is about the kitchen, the project is the funniest person and Finn the kindest guy I met. I'm very grateful for the good conversations, delicious food and patience. Definitely an experience I'll keep in my heart forever!!!

The project, the project and Finn welcomed us with open arms from the start. Their beautiful home on the outskirts is perfect if you're looking for peace and quiet. We stayed for almost two weeks, and the atmosphere is incredibly cozy—ideal for relaxing. The work isn't difficult, and they make sure to teach you everything you need to know, explaining as many times as necessary. I learned a lot about cooking (the project is an amazing cook), gardening, and nature. I highly recommend going to Zofingen and volunteering with them. I'm very happy with my experience!! :)))

I loved my stay with the project and the project, I felt so comfortable and safe with them right from the start. The work involved lots of gardening and an assisting with construction work around the house, nothing too hard. I also cooked some meals for them, mostly dinners. I was able to catch the train to other parts of Switzerland on my days off and they were accomodating in dropping me off to the train station during those times. I loved getting to know them, they became like family to me over the 2 weeks I was there, cannot recommend this role more!

My experience with the project and the project was very good and I felt like family and I think of them as part of my family. They explained the tasks well and yes sometimes the work is a little difficult but it's nothing that can't be done in the stipulated time, you just have to have the will to do it and do it well.They also helped me a lot with things I needed to learn in Swiss German and English. They always care about how you feel both physically and emotionally. They always make sure you eat well and rest well, has been an unforgettable experience I will never forget them and I miss them already 💜

First experience with a permaculture project and had the best time! the project and the project were so nice and welcoming; they did their best to make me feel at home. They have a lovely house in a rural area, perfect for someone looking for a quiet and beautiful nature. Working hours were respected, and we picked the tasks that suited us and helped them at the time the most. The project was so informative, and I learned a lot from their experience. Thank you again for the opportunity, miss you already:))
