The Experience

As we are just starting up this project again since it was running for a bit a few years ago, we need to just clean up and prepare the place for more activity. Things need sorting and needs to be sold in a simple yard/garage type of sale. There are also other tasks that needs done, like painting the walls, planting different plants for the seasons, some inside and some outside, and we also need to sell the things by the road.

My stay at Mysen has been a great opportunity to learn about myself and others, as well as learning new practical skills. Helene and her place are amazing (has anything you need) and I will be forever grateful for her kindness, trust in me and everything she had offered and still offers all of us ❤️ Good luck with all the plans and projects Helene, you'll smash it!!

I had lovely time in here & 1week was almost too short. Helene is a great host, very easygoing, inspirational & present around the volunteers. The work was not difficult & mostly done in pairs. I enjoyed hanging out with the other volunteers, chatting in the kitchen, sharing food or exploring Mysen. I loved that there were so many people around & I even learned some Spanish words which I didn't expect haha. I'm leaving Mysen with valuable memories & If you're proactive, outgoing, fun, this place is for you🙌🏻

My experience was good. Helen's place is peaceful and chill. There's no specific task, just small things to do and nothing is hard. İ think Helen looks for open-minded, productive people and loves learning languages, cultures, and food from others. You cook your own meals, but the fridge is always full. The only hard part for me was that most volunteers spoke Spanish while I'm trying to improve my English. But Helen always tried to speak with me and help. I recommend this place it's great and will be even better.

I had such a great time volumteering here! The host was incredibly kind,welcoming,and made me feel at home from day one. The tasks were simple and easy to manage,which left us with plenty of time to relax, explore , and connect with others. One of the best parts was spending time with the other volunteers and the host. We cooked,shared meals,laughed, and had so many interesting conversations together. The host even took us to a språkkefé,which was such a cool way to meet locals and practice the language. Overall,it was a warm,fun, and unforgettable experience.
