The stay with Stojan was very nice, he was very welcoming and the place is amazing! The work was satisfying because you can see the progress, plus the home around and the lake are very enjoyable :) We spent a lot of time with Stojan and he became more like a friend than just a host, for example we went with the boat on the lake together, went to Stockton, did dumpster diving, walked in the home, met and ate at his parents' place and much more! I would really recommend this place, there is always something that you can do ;) Thank you again for the great experience, I wish you all the best! :)

My time at Stojan's homestead was spent mostly renovating an old house, and in my free time, I had plenty of time for hikes, exploration, yoga, and most importantly, we spent a lot of time together. This was very valuable to me as I got to know him and other people living there quite quickly, which made me feel at home and connected to the host and the project I was contributing to. It was beautiful three weeks in the midst of gloomy January, and it was a great way to push through the Scandinavian winter by making new connections, friends, and improving my skills. I hope to come back soon! :))

Stojan was very welcoming and we felt at home. The work was hard but fun, and exciting to see the progress. I would recommend asking to work with Stojan, he's fun to work with. We struggled a bit when working alone when we weren't sure of expectations. He was open about some personal struggles he was going through at the time of us volunteering. Because of this, we didn't see him much so there wasn't a sense of community or shared experiences/meals ect. I don't believe that that is a typical experience you'd have volunteering here. When we did see him, he's very social and we enjoyed our time.

I had a wonderful time at Stojan's place – my first volunteering experience, and one I'll remember fondly. The village is surrounded by forests and a lake, perfect for walks or for swimming in the summer, and it's well connected to Malmö, Lund, and even Copenhagen. The work was varied and engaging, with flexible hours that made it easy to enjoy free time. Stojan is a kind host who shared his wisdom and made us feel at home. His housemates, Dušan and César, were also welcoming, with their vast knowledge and unique personalities.

Volunteering at Stojan's place felt like being home. He is a very kind-hearted person, always helpful to those around him, and he's spreading joy and humor around, while still being authoritative and wiseful. This experience has turned me better in so many ways and I really enjoyed life while being there. The position of the place is pretty much perfect to explore both the home and the cities. The place has all the comforts, is clean and has a good energy inside and all around. I luckily did this as my first volunteering experience and it was beyond my expections, very recommended!
