The Experience

We are a family of 2 adults and 4 children living next to Tiveden National Park in Sweden, Tived. Our place is situated really beautifully next to the lake of the national park. To be here gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and we are surrounded of a wild forest with many lakes and lots of berries and mushrooms to pick. We work with tourism and run a B&B and activity center.

I highly recommend this place! I never felt more welcomed and appreciated as from this family. The work was fun and a good change from my free time. The surrounding area is stunning and because the camp is settled in the tiveden national parc you can go hiking, biking, horse riding and kayaking. The accommodation was awesome and the food as well. The trip was very calming for me and I enjoyed my time very much. I'm so grateful for this experience and the memories I've made. Thank you!!! 🫶🏻

I've enjoyed my experience at the host so, so much. The work was really nice and enjoyable, and Klas and Jessica always check in on you to make sure that you're doing alright and that you're not missing anything, which I appreciated a lot. Tiveden looks magical, like something out of a fairytale, and there are many ways to enjoy it and its nature: you can go on walks, hikes, kayaking, or on bike and horse rides, and you'll get in touch with foreigners, locals and volunteers alike. I'm bringing home so many good memories, and I truly can't wait to go back. Until then, I wish them all the best<3

I am really glad that I had an opportunity to volunteer in this beautiful place! The family is very caring, and it's important to them that you are satisfied and that you have everything you need. Their workers are also supportive and will show you everything about the job you need to do. Work is not hard, it includes only the things written in the description and depends on the needs of a particular day. The place is situated in the national park, and you can explore stunning nature by hiking, cycling or canoeing after work. You can even observe and admire forest, lakes and the ani

It was my first wonderful volunteer experience. Beautiful nature all around. Forests, lakes, meadows, rocks, and narrow gravel roads winding between red wooden houses. The Sannö family are very nice and warm people. They are helpful and always ask if everything is okay. The work is simple and varies depending on the time of day. After work, there are many opportunities to spend your free time. There are bicycles, kayaks, horse riding, swimming in the lake, a rope park, hiking trails, sauna and barbecue areas. It was a great vacation for me. I gained new experiences and friends.
