    Hello Volunteers ~

    Thank you for checking us out!

    We are Padris and Pål, a fun duo combining backgrounds from Iran, Norway, and Denmark. Together, we’re working on developing something beautiful in the South Danish countryside. The place has a lot of beauty, charm with the potential of becoming truly spectacular. It's a wonderful environment for creativity, collaboration, and connection.

    We’re seeking enthusiastic and open-minded volunteers who enjoy being outside in nature, learning new skills, and being part of various hands-on projects. We belive this is about creating a space for interesting cultural exchange, shared experiences and creating great memories of interesting encounters, together. If you love to learn, teach, and try new things, we’d love to have you join us!

    About us :
    Padris: Originally from Iran, I’ve called Norway home for the past decade and recently started spending more time in Denmark. By day, I’m a data engineer, but in my free time, I love gardening, building things, and sharing meals with friends. I’ve had Workaway experiences myself and want to recreate that fun, collaborative energy here.
    Pål: Originally from Norway I earn my money producing films and fell in love with this hilly Danish countryside where I moved five years ago. I’ve been diving into various property projects, including our latest adventure: a small vineyard which I am pretty excited about. While my winemaking experience is limited to enjoying wine and visiting vineyards, I’m excited to experiment and hopefully create some interesting natural wines.

    What We’re Working On:
    The place has a lot of ongoing projects and future plans. We are trying to creating a special experience for our guests with a special tipi camp set-up which includes a sauna.

    We’ve recently acquired a small vineyard with guidance from the previous owners. Our goal is to experiment with natural fermentations and create red, white, and even orange wines. We will be very happy if you have experience in vineyard and you want to share with us other than that you just need curiosity and a willingness to learn and collaborate.

    The property is equipped with a workshop full of tools for woodworking and creative projects.

    Gardening: From vegetable cultivation to landscape tasks, there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands in the soil.

    Creative Pursuits: Storytelling and photography are also passions we’d love to share and explore together.

    About the Property:
    The home is nestled in the countryside near the charming coastal town of Faaborg. It’s surrounded by rolling hills, big oak trees, and a landscape once favored by painters. The house itself is a bit special—it was designed by the renowned Danish architect family, the Utzons. Volunteers will have their own private space with a separate entrance, a bathroom, and a small kitchen for convenience. We’re about 45 minutes from Odense and two hours by car from Copenhagen.

    What You Can Expect:
    This is a place for cultural exchange, learning, and shared experiences. A typical day might include doing tasks together on a project in the morning, taking a break to bike through the countryside, and finishing with a shared meal and lively conversations.
    We always eat dinner together and enjoy cooking up memorable meals. If you have a dish from your country that you’d like to share, our kitchen is open to you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We like people! A good way to connect is often by doing something meaningful together. A really good day here might start on a project outside—whether it's a gardening, or something creative—and end with sharing a delicious meal, engaging in lively discussions about interesting topics. Dinner is always a shared experience for us. If you love to cook, you’re welcome to take some space in the kitchen and prepare a dish from your country—we’d be thrilled to try it!

    In our household, we bring diverse expertise and interests. We have expert knowledge in storytelling, filmmaking, data engineering, and project management. Our energy often goes into various hands on projects, ranging from woodworking and mechanics to gardening and vegetable cultivation. If you're interested, we can also do training sessions together or explore the area on bikes for a fun and active way to connect with nature.

    Culturally, Pål draws from his Scandinavian heritage, while Perdis brings influences from Persian culture. We both share a deep love of books, travel, and a certain wealth of life experiences that we’re excited to share with others. There’s always something new to learn or discuss here.
