I had a wonderful stay with Sara and Pasi. From the first day on the farm I truly felt like a member the farm family. The days were filled with animal care, farm maintenance, fishing, hiking, picking berries, using the sauna and playing card games with their boys. I learned so much about Swedens culture with long talks with Sara and have had very intellectual, deep talks with Pasi. Their children are very fun and easy to get along with. Sara and Pasi have such a positive outlook on life and always are telling jokes and funny stories. This was my first Worldpackers and would highly recommend!

I spent a wonderful time with Sara and Pasi. I felt welcome and I was a part the farm family. I love Sara 's energy and positive mood and Pasi's humor. The work with the animals was fun and I will miss them. Sara made sure that I was all right and that the work fit me. I enjoyed the activities after work like fishing, swimming in the lake or running in the forest. The days were simple and peaceful. I was never bored and the time there went quickly. I recommend this place to everyone who loves nature, time with animals and want to spend some time in Sweden and learn about Swedish culture.

I hade a great experience here. I felt incredibly welcome, got to do so many fun things (both work related and ouside work with the family, with other volunteer and alone) and learnt a lot.
I would recomen this for someone who likes the outdoors, getting to know the swedish culture and beeing with animals.

Working with Sara and Pasi has been amazing experience. I truly had a great time, they make you feel safe and really welcome you to their family, getting to know their boys and the animals. I love that they always said “we don't have any problems only solutions,” and they're not kidding about that, the amount of times I thought something was not able to fix. Sara proved me wrong every time. I do hope to come back and visit them in the winter and really enjoy the snow and see how they work with their sled dogs. Like I told them “SEE Y'ALL SOON.”

My time with Sara, Pasi and the kids as well as Bailey was amazing. I loved every second of volunteering here and am so excited to go back in the future. Anyone that can get this opportunity should take it as soon as they can because it really is worth it.
