Join our Sami reindeer family in Jokkmokk, Sweden

Welcome to our home in Jokkmokk, Swedish Lapland!

We are a Sámi family practising traditional reindeer herding, a way of life that has been part of Sámi culture for generations. Our work and daily lives are closely connected to nature, the changing seasons and the needs of the reindeer.

By staying with us, you can get a glimpse into Sámi culture and everyday life in northern Sweden, while learning about the traditions and responsibilities involved in reindeer herding.

Life here is closely tied to the outdoors, and our plans can change depending on the weather and the reindeer. We are looking for open-minded, reliable people who enjoy nature, are happy to lend a hand and are interested in learning about a different way of life.

We appreciate help with everyday tasks and, depending on the season, activities connected to our reindeer herding.

Tasks may include:

Helping with practical outdoor work and general maintenance

Assisting with everyday household tasks, cooking and cleaning

Helping with seasonal preparations and other jobs around the property

Learning about and, when the timing allows, helping with reindeer-related activities

Reindeer herding depends on the weather, the season and the movement of the animals, so we cannot guarantee that volunteers will take part in hands-on reindeer work during their stay. Flexibility, a positive attitude and a willingness to help where needed are important.
