(Help a small family campsite ...)
We where for 2 weeks helping at the campsite. It was a good experience; we liked it to meet many different, nice people and help them with their questions. The cleaning tasks where ok. We made walks and visited nice places around. We liked the camping atmosphere a lot and felt good there. We wish Mirjana, Dragan and Nada succes with this beautiful… read more

Anja and Hans came to help at the last moment when we needed it and stayed for over two weeks, mostly taking care of our two big dogs while we were on holiday. They were very easy to communicate with, friendly and when we came home we found a beautiful, tidy house. They had also taken initiative and without being asked cleaned out our garage and… read more

Hans and Anja is a lovely couple with plenty of experience and an amazing skillset! It was a great priviledge to get to learn them and to have them at the place. We quickly learned that they can do many things in a professional way, so we provided them with tasks that would make good use of the unique skillset they have. I'm so happy that, for… read more

We have been 10 days at the place from Olli and Sari. Its really a beautiful place; a real paradise!

When we started I ( Anja) became directly ill. For 4 days I could not do much and it felt good that Olli was very understanding about that.
