This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I really enjoyed my time with Eric. He was very welcoming and patient, and I learned so much in such a short stay, especially about carpentry, construction, and how to properly carry and handle logs and heavy equipment. I really enjoyed the work, the peaceful surroundings, and the time spent with the other packers. I'm very grateful for the experience.

Eric and Eva were absolutely amazing and very kind hosts. I felt very welcome from the beginning and was really well taken care of during my stay. The food was delicious, and I really enjoyed the schedule and the balance between work and free time.

During my stay, I helped with construction work and also worked in the garden. It was my first experience with volunteering, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I had a great time, learned new things, and really enjoyed the whole experience.

I have had a nice time at Eva and Eric's farmhouse. It's a nice place to be, with good tasty food. I stayed for 1,5 month, i helped in the garden and with some construction work. In my free time i stayed often in my cabin where I worked on my own online projects.

I've been having a very good experience here. I've helped with planting seeds, working in the garden and greenhouse, and also with tasks like cutting wood and making sausages. The place is beautiful and peaceful, and I have my own private cabin. Atlas and Bear are amazing dogs and make the stay even better. Erik and Eva also help me improve my English and learn some Swedish. I'm happy with the experience and I've decided to extend my stay.

Hello everyone, I had the opportunity to enjoy an incredible experience in Sweden thanks to Eric and Eva. They are two wonderful people, kind and extremely helpful. Right from the start, I felt welcome and at home. For the duration of my stay (a month and a half), I had my own little private house (which was wonderful). I highly recommend this experience to all travellers who want to challenge themselves, learn lots of new things and immerse themselves in Swedish culture. Gabriele from Italy

This was my first volunteer experience so I was quite anxious about it, but everything turned out to be really good. Eric and Eva made me feel at home, often was like being part of the family, and the beauty of the nature surrounding the farm just blew me away. I had my own little cabin that was super cosy and I just loved it. The work was real fun and fulfilling, and I learned so much about carpentry and gardening, especially about tomatoes. In the meantime I just kept eating berries off of the bushes. Thank you again. I will miss our regular skip-bo games in the evenings.

Peter, we also enjoyed your stay at the farm and the work you did on the tiny house, making the 4 meter high barn doors and ofcourse the help in the garden
We wish you all the luck and success with a new host
And when you visit Sweden again you are welcome!!
Have it good Peter
Thanks

I stayed for a month with a friend and had a mixed experience. The place itself is very beautiful, remote, and peaceful, with a lovely dog, two cats, and interesting opportunities to learn new skills. Unfortunately, communication was unclear, and there were moments of passive-aggressive behavior and raised voices. While we did have good moments, mostly thanks to the surroundings, some jokes and behavior made us uncomfortable so we left early.
