Jutta and Peik are very welcoming, which immediately made for a laid-back and homey atmosphere.Everything was explained clearly and the tasks were simple, if I ever had any questions,I could easily ask either of the hosts.They both appreciate independence, while providing a lot of flexibility, which made organizing my days and activities easy.Both are very knowledgeable about their country and city, which makes for great itinerary suggestions and interesting conversations.I am truly grateful to have had this as my first volunteering experience, I don't think it could have been any better. :))

Jutta and Peik were very welcoming and gave me the space to adjust and decompress. Their home is lovely and their dogs are so sweet. The work was as expected and enjoyable. I learned a lot about Finnish culture and where the best hikes are. Not everyday was easy, but I became a better person from what I learned from them. Thank you so much!

My stay the home was an absolute delight!!🩷 Jutta and Peik are two of the loveliest people alive, so are both doggos. They welcomed me with open arms and an open heart. The accommodation was beautiful, warm, clean and cozy. The indoor and outdoor chores were easy to understand and diverse. One of my favourite experiences ever!💐✨️

Jutta and Peik are exceptional hosts! From the very first moment they made us feel at home, offering us a comfortable and cozy space. They are incredibly kind and flexible, always willing to adapt to our needs. We shared fun moments, from escapades in nature with their beautiful dog to the opportunity to try typical Finnish dishes. Undoubtedly, a wonderful experience that I would repeat without hesitation and recommend to anyone.😊
