I love Helena and Erick and I had one the best WorkAway experiences ever.
I stayed with them in their beautiful cottage for a month. A really nice place with a 360 panorama view to Jamtland mountains and surrounded by forest and paths. Where you can also appreciated the wild life as maybe some dear or fox will visit.
We work in the forest making
… read more wood for winter time and I learnt how to use the chainsaw. I help Helena with the gardening, digging and planting the first seeds of the season. And we also build a big green house. We have a lovely schedule with breaks full of good healthy food and coffee. Yoga and meditation in the morning was also part of our routine.
An experience that I would always remember. They are lovely people and I am so grateful for meeting them.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We had lots of help from Petri: collecting firewood, chainsawing, woodcutting. He was very interested in helping out with all kind of tasks. No work was to heavy. He also helped painting a small cottage outside and inside. He was able to make own decisions when necessary. We also learned a lot of his knowledge about eatable wild plants. We

I had really nice time in Eric and Helena's place.
It was nice to work with Eric and not alone. We made some firewood work and I finally learned to use chainsaw. We didn't work so much (less than 5 hours) and I had lots of time to relax.
And the cottage is perfect for that! View is amazing, can see many mountains around and the cottage is on the

They cooked delicious and healthy food too. Most of ingredients was from own garden or from own chickens, at least near as possible.
Thanks for everything!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

First of all we’re sorry for writing so late. We’ve spent wonderful 10 days with Erik and Helena. Since it was our first ever workaway experience we had been a bit unsure at first about what should we expect but Erik and Helena made this experience to be such a magnificent and unforgettable moment. The work wasn’t hard we painted a small house and

Erik is such a great cook so we’ve always had a delicious meal.After we’ve finished the work each day we had always a delicious lunch after which we had plenty of time to explore the surrounding area. They even allowed us to use their old car and pay for the gas with some extra work. Thanks to that we got to see the beautiful lakes and even the mountains nearby. We couldn’t have chosen better hosts for our first workaway.
Hope you’re doing great and we hope to see you some time in the future.
