The Experience

This position is about helping with our house and and smaller construction projects. You will do things you most likely never have done in your life, you will learn something from a master carpenter every day. We have come to a stage with our house project, where the dirty work is done and you will create outstanding beautiful things. You don't need to be a sophisticated carpenter, but at least you should consider yourself as a handy person.

I absolutely loved this experience, the family is lovely and super outgoing. Me and my girlfriend had a lot of fun working and helping and in our free time we went mushroom picking, did boat riding and kissing moose. Work was very different every day and loved every bit of it. One of my favorite things that we all did as a family was to go to the hockey games of the local team IKO Oskarshamn :) Thank you so much to this amazing family !!!

My first time in Sweden was a very authentic experience with the Deigelmanns, they went above and beyond to show us what it is to be Swedish; taking us to Hockey games, kayak/camping/sailing trips, making a Swedish princess cake & traditional Swedish dinner, and always providing fika! The homemade wine & mead isn't bad either ;) Work matches each volunteers capabilities and varies with the weather. I unfortunately was sick during a short period of my stay and the family provided medicine, days off to recover, and excellent honey from their bees! I'll be forever grateful for their hospitality❤️

This was my first volunteering experience and quite honestly, it was beyond my expectations. Hein, Astrid and the boys were the best! They were super welcoming, keen to learn about different cultures, utterly kind and fun to be with. I hated having to leave a bit early, knowing that I am totally going to miss that dreamy landscape, hiking trips, dinner time jokes, Astrid's delicious homemade bread and countless other wonderful stuff! I am also grateful to Hein for teaching me fishing and wine making. Can't describe it with any more words, see it for yourself :)

Astrid and Hein were amazing hosts! They are some of the most welcoming and generous people I have ever met and the time I spent with them was a blast. They were wonderful communicators, and the work we did was very manageable, educational, and even fun. On off days they took us exploring or camping which was the perfect way to enjoy the area. We had the best time with them, miss them dearly, and recommend them for your next adventure!

The farm was one of the greatest experiences i have ever had, I met some amazing people and learnt so much about making bread, honey, gardening. Some near death encounters kept me on my toes and helped make the best memories. Milla (their dog) made my experience 20x better , i will miss her so much. Watching the football in the evening, or watching heated rivalry was always a laugh. My favourite part was definitely the kayaking trip across the baltic. Camping on a remote island really helped me find peace and gratitude. I would highly recommend this place, you won't regret it 🫶
