My time with Sofia was amazing, I had very good experiences there, went to beautiful places, and learned a lot about the Finnish culture and their sauna, I loved the experience and would do it again without hesitation.

It was my first experience with World Packers, and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this experience if you love nature, tranquility, and sports. The work is very flexible, and you can manage your time. Sofia and the others you'll meet here are lovely and kind people, with whom you can learn about Finnish culture. I had the opportunity to stay few days at Sofia's Cottage, completely immersed in nature, and it was a unique experience. Overall, I highly recommend this experience; the time flew by also if Savitaiplae is very small town. I hope to come back one day.

I loved this place, surrounded by nature and near a huge lake where you can go swimming and get some sun. Sofia is a very kind and caring person, even Ahmed her assistant is very kind, helpful and nice. The work is not hard and there is a lot of flexibility with the schedules, I hope to go back one day.

Kanji has been an incredible asset. He's dedicated, approachable, and always ready to step in when needed. His efforts in keeping everything running smoothly have made a huge difference. We truly value all he's done to help, and hope to meet him again.. Take care and best of luck. Other hosts will be lucky to have you.

I sincerely thank Sofia from the bottom of my heart for everything. I spent wonderful days surrounded by the snow I had missed so much and immersed in Finnish end-of-year traditions. The warmth of the hospitality, the charm of the local culture, and the breathtaking landscapes made this experience truly unforgettable. I hope to return to Savitaipale someday, as the surrounding nature has truly stolen my heart.

I spent 2 weeks in Savitaipale, and the area is beautiful. If you love hiking, this place is for you, as there isn't much else to do in this village. The work is simple and easy to understand, 25 hours a week, but it's flexible. There is separate accommodation for volunteers, and while cleanliness depends on us, it's perfectly equipped. I recommend it if you want to be close to nature and meet volunteers from different parts of the world!

Out of my 3 years of traveling now my time here stands out as a highlight for sure. Sofia is very welcoming and fun to talk to. Savitaipale and Sofia's cottage are beautiful places with access to ponds and lakes for swimming, ice skating, sledding, mini golf, sauna, hiking, biking, and more. I got the full Finnish sauna experience with Sofia and Mika at the cottage. They made my stay here both fun and informative. The accommodation is very comfy and the market being across the street makes getting groceries super convenient.
