This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it was perfect to start. I am very happy that I had the chance to work with you and that you have welcomed me into your family. The tasks were easy to do and I always knew what I had to do because Pernille gave me a list with all the tasks every day. Thank you for letting me be with you, Pernille, Sven. Greetings from Austria

Even though I left earlier and it wasn't exactly as I expected, it was still a valuable experience for me. The surrounding area was really beautiful with the Fjord just down the street and the beach not far from the house. Although I was provided a nice room and place to live, I didn't quite feel at home. I rather felt like a stranger doing their housework and sometimes even longer than the 5 hours. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for my time and the experience there.

Unfortunately we cannot recommend Sandra as she left early because she told us she was homesick. She is not open or very engaging and prefers to sit in her room all of the time. We asked her several of times if she was ok and if the tasks were ok and always she smiled and said yes and then she wanted to leave suddenly. Maybe she is extremly introvert or depressed. Or just does not know how to express her feelings. The tasks were easy (cleaning and cooking) and should not take longer than 5 hours but she is either very slow or too detailoriented.

I felt more like a cleaning worker than a guest. The main work included total house cleaning, cooking, gardening. This was more than what was initially agreed upon, and I often found myself working up to 7 hrs a day, instead of the agreed 5 hrs. This limited me, as Copenhagen is far away, 4 hrs round trip and transportation is $16. I practically spent all my time in the house. In addition, the host often asked me to do additional tasks after work hours, which further reduced my free time. The location of the house limits recreational activities, everything is far away and transportation for an

Hi Andrew, we are sorry to hear that you feel this way because we disagree with your review and we wish that you would have told us your concerns while you were here in a more constructive way than as we had no idea that you felt this way. We have a different view of your stay and we dissagre with what you have written.

I'm overall grateful to have had this experience! It was a beautiful home, and walking foxy each day/being in nature was a highlight. I do wish I was able to have felt more immersed in the family, or invited for at least one outing together, even if just to the store. The lack of this just sometimes made me feel like a stranger doing tasks most of the time, which is the role, but I think feeling seen more as a part of the household would have greatened the experience. Pernille was very nice, though I sometimes felt my actions were questioned, but it could have just been clarification!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was really perfect! Pernille, Sven and the kids are such a sweet family. The tasks were easy and I was always well informed about what I had to do the next day. I also enjoyed that I was able to use my free days to go to Copenhagen, because it's not far away. It was a wonderful time and I would do it again any time!

I had the opportunity to learn more about Danish culture (including eating some delicious food!) and taught me some new Danish activities!! I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity and will miss playing the hygge game at dinner time !!

It was a really incredible experience. I was very well received by the home family. Pernille and Sven are lovely. I was able to enjoy a peaceful stay, surrounded by nature. Private room in a very cozy house. The tasks are easy and I was able to perform at my own pace. I will carry them forever in my heart ❤️

Before I met them I was super nervous cuz it was my first time to try volunteering but they are so friendly and made me feel welcome even at the first sight. Unfortunately I had only 8 days but I experienced many things: housekeeping, helping Pernille's exhibition(it's not normal thing so I'm so lucky to have a special chance!) and giving some advice on her social media. Pernille is so kind and passionate person. One day Sven took me to the forest n that was really awesome. I highly recommend this family, especially for nature lovers. Wish I could stay longer. Love them!

Pernille and her family welcomed me with open arms in a beautiful home. I stayed two weeks and I had a very good time :) I had a very cozy private room and she provided a lot of good food! She gave me a list of tasks each morning, these were usually distributed throughout the day and I could organised myself between tasks and breaks This position is perfect if you want to spend some time in a private room, enjoying the nature far away from big cities. Note that the house is located in a small town about 1h30min from Copenhagen, so I visited the city just during my days off :)
