Hello everyone, I had the opportunity to enjoy an incredible experience in Sweden thanks to Eric and Eva. They are two wonderful people, kind and extremely helpful. Right from the start, I felt welcome and at home. For the duration of my stay (a month and a half), I had my own little private house (which was wonderful). I highly recommend this experience to all travellers who want to challenge themselves, learn lots of new things and immerse themselves in Swedish culture. Gabriele from Italy

This was my first volunteer experience so I was quite anxious about it, but everything turned out to be really good. Eric and Eva made me feel at home, often was like being part of the family, and the beauty of the nature surrounding the farm just blew me away. I had my own little cabin that was super cosy and I just loved it. The work was real fun and fulfilling, and I learned so much about carpentry and gardening, especially about tomatoes. In the meantime I just kept eating berries off of the bushes. Thank you again. I will miss our regular skip-bo games in the evenings.

Peter, we also enjoyed your stay at the farm and the work you did on the tiny house, making the 4 meter high barn doors and ofcourse the help in the garden
We wish you all the luck and success with a new host
And when you visit Sweden again you are welcome!!
Have it good Peter
Thanks
