Hi,
Thank you very much, Pernilla, for the three weeks I could stay at your home!
It was my first experience with workaway and I enjoyed it a lot. I quickly felt at home and I liked to help in the lovely café.
Work was easy and Pernilla took time to show me all kind of things (moose, mushrooms, blueberry-spots, …). Besides that her mother had a… read more

I was at Pernilla's place for less than 10 days, but in those days I was with her I not only had one of the best experiences of my life, but Pernilla also became like a Swedish mother to me! I had a great time and I am looking forward to hopefully seeing her again soon :) Would definitely recommend staying with Pernilla to anyone!!!!

Ledion had an extremely endurance when he helped me. He was sanding my walls with a small machine. Most people would have stopped after a short time doing it but not Ledion.

What to say about Victoria?
You do not want her to leave!
She is amazing. She will try anything. She will say no to nothing. And she will fix it!
She is not afraid of anything. Maybe horror movies.

Between the two of them I don't think there is anything they can't do!
They would always do more then I asked for!
And they are very skilled in the thing they do.
Always in a nice mood. There was a lot of laughter in the house when they were here.
My mother want to adopt them. And I would not mind having them as brother and sister.
