The Experience

We are an international family of 4. Dad German. Mum Danish. We have been expats for over a decade and have now returned to my home country Denmark but we miss the international interaction and inspiration. Our children, twins that are both 9 yrs. old are forgetting their English and we would love to welcome an international spirit into our home and hearts that could speak English with us and help us out with cleaning, cooking etc.

The experience from the home is nice and I am grateful for it. The Family is nice, welcoming, the tasks are clearly written, easy to follow. I loved to clean and cook, walk the dog and do small tasks new for the day. The room I got is very nice and you get the specific Danish atmosphere. The children are nice, the dog is funny and for sure loves to be walked. The house is very modern, kitchen , bathroom all nice. The nature around amazing, the city nearby great for small trips. Thankyou for a nice experience. Pernille, Sven, Isabella, Alex and Foxy. Hugs, Ileana

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it was perfect to start. I am very happy that I had the chance to work with you and that you have welcomed me into your family. The tasks were easy to do and I always knew what I had to do because Pernille gave me a list with all the tasks every day. Thank you for letting me be with you, Pernille, Sven. Greetings from Austria

I felt more like a cleaning worker than a guest. The main work included total house cleaning, cooking, gardening. This was more than what was initially agreed upon, and I often found myself working up to 7 hrs a day, instead of the agreed 5 hrs. This limited me, as Copenhagen is far away, 4 hrs round trip and transportation is $16. I practically spent all my time in the house. In addition, the host often asked me to do additional tasks after work hours, which further reduced my free time. The location of the house limits recreational activities, everything is far away and transportation for an

Hi Andrew, we are sorry to hear that you feel this way because we disagree with your review and we wish that you would have told us your concerns while you were here in a more constructive way than as we had no idea that you felt this way. We have a different view of your stay and we dissagre with what you have written.

I'm overall grateful to have had this experience! It was a beautiful home, and walking foxy each day/being in nature was a highlight. I do wish I was able to have felt more immersed in the family, or invited for at least one outing together, even if just to the store. The lack of this just sometimes made me feel like a stranger doing tasks most of the time, which is the role, but I think feeling seen more as a part of the household would have greatened the experience. Pernille was very nice, though I sometimes felt my actions were questioned, but it could have just been clarification!
