My time in Finland was fantastic thanks to the stunning nature that surrounded us and also to the cultural experiences that I had there. Sofia is such a nice, welcoming and warm person who very kindly shared with me a lot of information related to Finland and the Finnish language. I would 100% recommend you apply for this volunteer opportunity. Näkemiin!

I had a wonderful time at Savitaipale. This volunteering allows you to discover Finnish nature and Finnish culture. I was more or less autonomous for meals and work schedules which allows to share good times with the volunteers in the beautiful nature. If you are as lucky as me, you will be able to live a wonderful experience in Sophia's cottage, be invited to the Finnish house and see the Northern Lights 😍 Thank you to all the people who work there!

I don't understand what has happened. I already wrote you a review a couple of weeks ago, but I notice that it's not here :( Now the time to write the review was over... so I'm writing it here now.

Candice is a lovely young lady who gets along with everyone. He is hardworking and conscientious. I warmly recommend him for similar and even more demanding tasks. Thank you Candice, you are always welcome at Savitaipale!

This was an amazing experience for me. I was already in love of Finland when I arrived but now... only solution for me is to come back again. Sofia, Mika and Kamo welcomed me like I was part of their family. And they are surrounded by amazing people like Mohamed, Milja or Ahmed. I don't have enough world to say how much I am thankful right now.

It was an amazing experience. I felt at home from the first day, thanks to the kindness of the people and the hospitality of my the host. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature that leaves you speechless. Savitaipale and all of Finland surprised me with its beauty and tranquility. I didn't lack anything and everything exceeded my expectations. I recommend this experience without hesitation!

Finland opens its arms to you if you open yours! The work is done in a second-hand shop with its varied tasks. Communication and work schedules are easy.I didn't have time to be bored during my stay. Tise place has lots of little treasures to discover if you enjoy the nature and test Finnish experiences. Thanks to the the host family for this great experience, I hope to come back to discover a new season :)

It was my first volunteering experience and I am glad I did choose them. First of all they accepted my very spontaneous request (1-2weeks before) and we could also agree on flexible dates (+-2days), which for me as a backpacker, is definitely a big plus :) We agreed my stay for 2 weeks, but by the end I stayed there 17-18 days due to my ferry. It wasn't a problem at all. So in general... when you have an opportunity to visit them, you probably should... Good people, chill atmosphere and a welcoming place... You have what you need and they are always open for new suggestions :)

What can I say about my first experience? I found kindness, willingness to listen and help with assigned tasks. Savitaipale is a lovely tourist village with a wonderful lake to dive into. In addition to working at the flea market, there is also the possibility of spending a few days in the lakeside cottage where you can experience a real Finnish experience in close contact with nature. Super recommended. Special thanks to Sofia

Την τρίτη ημέρα με πήγε με ένα φορτηγό να κουβαλήσω από ένα παρατημένο σχολείο μακριά από το κατάστημα που πήγα να προσφέρω τις υπηρεσίες μου κάτι βαριές ντουλάπες και άλλα πράγματα. Παρότι είπα ότι έχω πρόβλημα με την μέση μου έκανα αυτή την μεταφορά που δεν ήταν στην αρμοδιότητα μου για να βοηθήσω αφού με πήγαν πίσω να πάρω μια ζώνη που είχα για το πρόβλημα της μέσης μου. Ύστερα από αυτό μετά δύο ημέρες με ξαναπήγαν σε άλλο μέρος να μετακομίσουμε ένα ολόκληρο σπίτι. Αυτή ήταν η αιτία που έφυγα την άλλη ημέρα. Εάν ήξερα ότι ήθελαν εργάτη να κάνει μετακομίσεις δεν θα πήγαινα.

La experiencia es increíble, vives la verdadera experiencia de un Finlandes, te explican y te cuentan de su cultura, siempre se preocupan que estés bien, tengas todo lo necesario. La flexibilidad con la comida y las horas de trabajo son lo mejor porque te permiten organizarte si como yo trabajas o tienes actividades remotas.
