It’s an unexpectedly beautiful experience 😊The family is super nice and talented! Very friendly, easygoing, and helpful 💓. The nature around is impressive, with also cute house animals 🐇 🦆 🐥. The bedroom I stayed is quite and private. Not so far from the Dokkum town as the hosts also lend you the bike 🚲. I will recommend the stay to anyone who has interests in Frisian culture.

Fryslân was so beautiful. The work was fulfilling in the garden and house and the hosts were genuine and awesome. They have cute bunnies, a jacuzzi, and bikes to ride! Going to the sea to learn about the history and to see the seals in the rehabilitation center was so cool. We shared family dinners and stories and made our own breakfast and lunch with food from the fridge and pantry. This stay was cozy and sweet, even with sleeping in the camper van, all was provided and we had an amazing time and would definitely come back. Go volunteer here andwatch the sunset at the canal it is wonderful.

As our first Worldpackers, this host family was welcoming, inclusive, and made our stay very enjoyable. They are flexible, social, and easygoing people that make sure you are having a good time! Work hours were independently led and they stuck to the four hour agreement. The tasks were enjoyable. We picked fruit from the beautiful garden, along with painting the interior of the house, and some light laundry. Fryslân is a beautiful place with trails & many cute little animals. We accompanied them to Groningen to a dance event, it was sm fun hanging out with the whole family! You will love it:)

I really enjoyed my stay here! The family was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and they did so much for us. I'm truly grateful for everything. The work never really felt hard. We harvested fruit, collected seeds, trimmed branches, and processed the produce, and I genuinely enjoyed every part of it. They even lent us bikes, which was great for getting around. Thank you so much again for such an amazing experience!

Thanks to your lovely family, we really enjoyed staying here and learning about Fryslân’s culture and history, experiencing everyday life, and connecting with nature and people. While staying here for a week, we did gardening, including potting plants and pulling out grass, which was our task. On our days off, they took us to wooden shoes museum, windmills, and the sea, which are all related to Fryslân’s culture. They were always kind to us and open-minded, and we could also share our cultures and histories with each other. Everything is memorable, and we will definitely come back here again♡♡

Experience here got to be the most unforgettable memory in my life:) After touching the value and lifestyles of Siewart and Tanya family, I started to rethink my normal and change my mindset. And they took us to various local places and gave us lots of opportunities to learn new things and fed us lots of nice Dutch traditional food !! I totally fall in love with everything in Friesland❤️ can't wait to backkkkkk

All the family was so kind and cosy from minute one, the house and bedroom was really comfortable. There was a wide variety of tasks, some better than others, but as everything. Anyway, it was completely worth it. It felt as a spiritual retreat due to the contact with nature and peace of the place. They told me many stories, shared their live experiences and answered all my questions. I could also do other activities with them around the house and went to Leeuwarden or Dokkum. I felt save there travelling alone, they are very nice people and they give you your space and freedom. THANKSSS.

Tanya and Stewart along with the rest of the family and people here were so amazing! Such an interesting and inspiring group of people who are all willing to talk, share experiences and help you to learn and grow. This was a great experience to see the Netherlands outside of the city and really get in touch with nature. There was also plenty of time and opportunities to go to nearby towns and cities to see more of and learn more about Fryslan and the nearby areas!
