Fridem was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful home away from home. The place we stayed was amazing its this super cozy house with everything you could need. I also really enjoyed the nature there which was super beautiful and peaceful. We were there in winter and I would say there is plenty to do there. The work was super laid back and was on your own time which I relly enjoyed, I felt free to do what I wanted. Overall I would say that it was an amazing experience!!

My boyfriend and I stayed in Fridem for 3 weeks and we had the best time ever. It's a beautiful community where everybody helps each and another and people genuinely care about each other. The work is easy and you have a lot of independence of when to do what tasks. There were a bunch of different task (like housekeeping, cleaning, Handy work, painting and much more), we could choose from, depending on what's more urgent and what we enjoy doing the most. I would really recommend volunteering for Fridem !! Thank you to everyone how welcomed us so kindly and made our experience so unique ❤️

I spent around a week at the Center. It was an amazing experience - my first volunteer opportunity through worldpackers and i couldn't have asked for a better way to start. Kelsey was really helpful - she shared all details before the start to help me and also arranged for the pickup from Hedemora. The works was very relaxed - and you had s lot of time for yourself to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Also there are some optional activities every day - which if you're interested in you can participate for free. Overall - I really enjoyed my time and I hope to visit again in the summer.

The Center has been such an amazing experience. Stjärnsund is such a peaceful little village and the community is so welcoming and kind. It has been great getting to know the locals and other volunteers. There is lots of flexibility with the work and you can do what inspires you most + learn a lot, there is always something new to do. Kelsey has been an amazing host with great communication & is always there to listen or help with anything. 💗 The nature and landscapes around the Center are also breathtaking, both in the warmer and colder months. I would recommend this stay to everyone!

Isabel and Sheridan landed into the volunteer house with so much ease, always friendly and happy to help out with all the tasks. They took great care of the garden, easy to talk to. Isabel has some extra skills with technology as well which has been great! They are both just really sweet to have around. Wish them well on their next adventures.

I had such a lovely time at the Center! The surrounding area is gorgeous, incredible walks around the village. I also loved meeting all the local living there, as well as all the other volunteers and travelers. Such a great community! I worked remotely while staying there (good wifi, no problems) and the volunteer hours were as expected (they were super flexible). I'll definitely be coming back at some point and highly recommend this experience!

Nicole managed to balance her work online and connecting with her environment, the other volunteers and finding the time to paint and help out however she could. Nicole is an excellent communicator and it was a pleasure to share watching the northern lights together.
