The Experience

Hi. I'm Julian from England, living in Sweden. Now building a number of Tiny Houses in the Beautiful Swedish forest surrounded by lakes, trees and wildlife. We've had many volunteers with all kinds of backgrounds and had great times: People confident in using power tools, and design/ making things /construction is welcome. In return for help with building, you will have the chance to learn loads of new skills, good laughs and enjoy the forest.

Time flew by so quickly! Every day was so fulfilling and I had so many wonderful experiences. Everything was new to me so it was really exciting✨🤯 We went swimming in the lake and nature, had a BBQ, did puzzles, made little fireworks, and interacted with Julian's friends. Of course, I also really enjoyed using tools to make the host and thinking about the interior design. I'm so happy to have been able to participate in this volunteer work! The dogs were so cute too. I can't wait to go back! 🤗 Thank you soooo much , Julian and Ollyyyy✨🥹

Julian was a great host and was very open to including his wider network in Sweden to the experience so had plenty of opportunity to meet people from all over the world, a very social opportunity there if you're up for it and plenty of space and time to also do your own thing. It was a great place to be given the chance to try new things and also bring my own input to his projects and have those opinions and ideas considered and implemented. Would recommend to anyone wanting to escape from the rush of the world and try a different pace n style of life for sure - cheers for the experience Jules
