Martin is gentle, easygoing and thoughtful, with a curious mind that makes you want to keep listening. Staying at his home reminded me that the most meaningful experiences are often found in the simplest things. Everything felt easy and natural, with peace in the quiet moments, companionship in everyday life, and always something new to learn. I loved our days together, our conversations, and sharing the road with him. He welcomed me into his world, which for a while felt a little like my own. I leave with beautiful memories and a little piece of my heart left in Sweden.

As a first time volunteer, Martin made me feel at ease from the minute I met him. He created a warm and welcoming environment and I felt like I was at home. He is incredibly knowledgeable so we always had great conversations and I got to experience different parts of Sweden, making it an authentic and memorable experience. If you are a nature person and enjoy hikes this is the perfect stay for you! He is super flexible and easy going with working hours. The jobs he needed done were always manageable because of his special tools. I loved my stay and couldn't recommend Martin enough! Tack!

This experience was truly unique and unforgettable. Martin is an amazing host who makes you feel at home from day one. He is kind, welcoming and always checks that you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. The tasks are manageable, clearly explained, and there is never any pressure. What makes this experience special is the chance to immerse yourself in Swedish culture and enjoy beautiful landscapes. Martin is happy to show you around and makes this much more than just volunteering. Thank you, Martin, for making this such a memorable experience! 🌻

As a host, Martin does a spectacular job: he accommodates well, the food is always there and you can have anything within reasons, the place is cozy and the conditions of living are perfect
He does a great job showing you the cultural aspects of Sweden: traditional food, dancing, celebration, traditions, language
Work wise, Martin is super chill and allows you to take your time and actually finish the job with no need to rush which is something that I value
As a person, he is super chill and outgoing, even though he might come off as a bit “old fashioned”. Feel free to ask me more!

Martin is a very cool and relaxed person. He really take care of you as a person and it’s not all about work. I feel like the worktime was really fair. Sometimes feel like he is a bit of an absent mind professor but it’s funny. He like to share his big knowledge in many different topics.
You can get nice fresh bread there:D
The nature around the house is wonderful. In the free time you can go fishing or exploring the island.
