I had really nice time at Christina’s place for almost three weeks . This whole family are very kind and friendly, and I got nice memories with them. Especially Christina, she always ask me if everything is okay, and treats me very well. I deeply appreciate about that, and I think I am lucky that I had met with this amazing family. My work at that… read more

I don't know how could I ever write in words the feelings I have for this family and for this experience. It's almost impossible, but I will try :)

They are the best family you can find in workaway, really. Every single person was extremely attentive and kind all the time with us so much that they have a place in my heart forever. Whilma and… read more Alexandra are just angels who are able to make you smile and laugh all the time. They have wonderful personalities that I really admire and so beautiful values: they always smile and treat you with the highest respect, and they are extremely attentive all the time so that we would have the best experience ever. And we did. Thank so much, we won't forget you!
Fredrick is also a great person with a warm heart and a great sense of humour. It's one of those persons you always feel comfortable with and you can be sure you are always going to have a great time with him. We would also like to thank Urban for his amazing help from the very first moment, we felt really welcomed with him and his beautiful wife. Thanks for so many beautiful gestures with us!

And Kicki is just one of the most nicest person you can ever meet. She is attentive for everything, always making sure everything was great. She would all the time help us and she had so many beautiful gestures with us all the time. I feel I will never be able to thank her enough for opening the doors of her house and her heart as she did from the very first moment, I will truly miss you. And of course we won't forget any of the beautiful dogs, they are so kind and nice that it's really impossible not to fall in love with them. I will miss you, Tabita, Vesla, Simpson and Woolitz.

The place is the most beautiful paradise you can imagine. It is a cottage in the middle of a forest in Sweden surrounded by lakes you can swim in, amazing paths surrounded by huge trees... It is impossible to understand the beauty of the place until you sit down in the table outside the house with a warm coffee looking to an endless green landscape. If you love nature, you can't miss this place please. I won't forget the sunsets I saw, the feeling of swimming in a lake where there was no one or the sense of being alive when walking in some of the paths. I would also say that I believe it's better if you could come with somebody, so you can share everything with that person.
Of course you can also go easily to Mariefred (the closest town), which being honest is the most beautiful town I have ever been in. Sunsets in the lake there are just unforgettable. Besides, if you also want some city life, you have the chance to visit Stockholm in just one hour from the cottage. It is just an amazing city that's worth some visits.
So you have the most beautiful nature and if you feel like you want some city life, you have the chance to see Mariefred or the beautiful city of Stockholm (Gamla Stan is just breathtaking) in just one hour from the cottage. It can't be better.

The work was easy, they asked us to help walking the dogs, watering the plants, taking some weed out or painting. If I'm honest, it's the best work you can do because it was so nice and easy. I really enjoyed walking the dogs in the morning in nature and the sense of peacefulness while watering the plants.

I won't forget my days there, the feeling of happiness when seeing the place for the very first time and the great adventure I had the chance to live every single day with a family that could not be better to me. As I said, I feel that I won't ever thank you enough for giving to me the chance to live a dream that I was not even able to imagine. I won't ever forget you! Thank you and...see you soon!!!! :)

We stayed with Fredrik and Christina (Kiki) for a week during February 2023. We assisted with walking the dogs, as well as painting Kiki and Fredrik's bedroom floor - we can now call ourselves painters as I believe we did a really good job! The family are lovely, Whilma and Alexandra are beautiful and the whole family spoke to us like we were old… read more

We had a wonderful time with Kicki and Fredrik! From the very beginning we felt welcomed and appreciated. They have such a beautiful property and the cutest dogs ever!
The work was never taken for granted but always highly appreciated. It is recommendable though to come as a couple or two friends together as it is rather independent work.
