During her first visit to us, Josephine was a great help. Somehow it dropped significantly on the second turn when she was with her travelling partner. It was often challenging to them respecting communication in Swedish with our youngest son. Sometimes it was even painful listening from the partner making jokes on the language in front of him,… read more

Bastiaan and I stayed with Tom, Iva and the rest of the small family for 5-8 wonderful weeks!
They are all very open minded and relaxed. I especially enjoyed our board games-nights and skiing trip. Furthermore, I have learned a lot about childcare, skiing, the Swedish language and both the Swedish and Croatian culture. The girls, Neva and Arianna,… read more

Hans, Kristine and Sigrid are simply just amazing people.
I felt at home 2 days after my arrival and stayed for 2 months. I have gotten a new geology friend in Sigrid, who is an amazing and happy kid. Kristine has been very comfortable to talk with, because of her analytic ability and also supporting in every thing Bastiaan and I did. And Hans… read more

Thank you Josephine for getting to know you. You are a young woman but also very reflected, organized and hard working. You have an eye for beauty and the way you stack the wood was beautiful. I can really recommend you as a work-away to anyone, you do your tasks very well and are easy to communicate and live toghether with.

I stayed two weeks at Hannes farm and I couldn't have spend my two weeks any better.
Hanne is a strong independent woman and that was really inspiring to me!
We did a lot of hard work like cutting and stacking firewood, planting potatoes and sweet peas, preparing the flower market and even start building the greenhouse. But I enjoyed every part of… read more

Bastiaan and I stayed at Jonnas place for 19 wonderful days!
She's a kind and hardworking woman, who was open for all the crazy ideas we had. Furthermore she was flexible, so that it was possible for us to borrow the car and visit cities like Hangö and Porvoo. Jonnas farm is a part of a nice little family village, which means there are a lot of… read more
