Hello!
My name is Sonia, I'm 25 and I'm from Belgium. After finishing my Masters degree in London, I've decided to take some time off and travel! I've done similar volunteering jobs across Norway for a few months and I'm currently in Iceland.
I'm a trained osteopath (for horses and humans) so I know how to take care of animals which I also love! I have no issues doing farm tasks or other gardening projects!
I enjoy talking to people and listening to their life stories, I love board games, painting and sight seeing!
I look forward to meeting you!

Sonia came to stay for a month but weren’t we happy that she stayed for another too, from the barren early spring – and even a day of snow – into the lush summer and a heat wave!

In addition to the daily care of the animals, Sonia undertook many different tasks at the farm, from raking the yard and heroically mocking the horse paddock after … read more

After a few disappointing volunteering experiences elsewhere, I was cautious about finding another volunteeing experience. However, Hanna’s detailed explanations about the farm and the tasks couldn’t have been clearer or more reassuring. From the very beginning, communication was crystal clear which made the entire experience feel much more … read more relaxed. Even so, my time there ended up exceeding my expectations in more ways than I could have imagined.
I was originally planning to stay for just 1 month but after only 2 weeks, I already knew I wanted to stay longer and extended my stay to 2 months!
During that time, I had the privilege of witnessing the beautiful transition from spring to summer and even experienced a snowy day, lucky me! I was also there for the birth of lambs, which was one of the many unforgettable new experiences I had. Another highlight was swimming in a lake, a beloved Finnish tradition, alongside discovering the sauna culture.
On a daily basis, I fed the animals and gradually got to know the unique personalities of each sheep, horse, duck, chicken, and of course, Maiko. I never truly felt alone as Maiko was always of great company, even when the tasks required 0 Maiko! Her enthusiasm was contagious!,
The work itself was tailored to my interests, which were primarily animal-focused. My tasks included mucking out the horse paddock, preparing the stables for the ewes, raking loose straw from the pathways, clearing wood shavings etc. Each task had a clear and visible purpose, which made the work satisfying knowing that my efforts directly contributed to the animals’ comfort made every bit of hard work worthwhile.
Hanna also introduced me to basic gardening and generously shared her extensive knowledge. I left with a strong desire to start my own garden and grow my own produce and to recreate all the delicious meals she prepared! By the end of your stay, you’ll probably be begging Hanna to write a cookbook!
Both Hanna and Rami are curious, open-minded people who were always attentive, encouraging, and welcoming. Rami’s passion for martial arts led to many interesting conversations and even a small lesson in his dojo. Thank you for your patience, dedication, and willingness to share your knowledge!
From start to Finnish—pun intended 😆 (I think Rami’s dad jokes got to me too) this has been a truly enriching human experience. Only one I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who is soul-searching, looking to reconnect with nature or simply ready to immerse themselves in another culture.
