The Experience

Native german speaking girl/woman welcome from 27th of august. My name is Cordula, and I moved from Germany to Sweden in order to live a basic life close to nature. Here in in the middle of nature I live together with my (really big) dog Alva. I started to host volunteers in 2010 and I enjoy it! I need help with all tasks in and around my house as gardening, maintenance, cleaning, reparations, renovations, preparing firewood and much more.

You can sleep in and have breakfast with other volunteers at your own pace. After a short walk with the dog, you start working. Tasks depend on the season, I was renovating the windows, scratching off dry paint and kit, oiling, kitting and repainting. There is a variety of different things to learn and cordula will be happy to show you anything, from working in the garden to cooking on a traditional oven with fire. I highly recommend this place to anyone searching for a quiet place to connect with nature and gain a new perspective of life. It was truly wonderful and I hope to be back someday.

This was my firts volunteering experience and I couldn't wish for anything better. The property is really magical in the middle of beautiful nature so you can really slow down in here. The tasks weren't hard and were well explained and I definitely learned some new things. Cordula was really helpful and helped me feel at home in her place. I wish I could stay longer!

This position is for everyone who wanna escape the chaos and city life. The house is located in the forest far away from everything. But it's great. The place is so cozy and it's exciting to observe the nature this way. The task are coordinated and Cordula Looks at the time, so you don't overwork. Cordula is a great person, she helped me while I was sick and let me rest. The food is great and natural and healthy. The place is cozy with a chimney. You can learn a lot about nature and how to build things. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I'm willing to come again :)

I had an amazing time at Cordula's beautiful Home, the tasks varied and I learned a lot. The communication was great and we got along really good. The room was very cozy and even tho it's in the middle of the woods, there's a lot you can do on your free days or after work. I'm looking forward to come again :))
