A room in one of the design cabins.
What else ...
We provide free accommodation, food during your stay and good memories that will last for long time. I’m sure that practise will be meaningful, interesting and fit for use and hopefully make your dream come true. On your free time you are welcome to use our house at the sea coast. It is a fantastic place to get away from it all - no road, - no neighbours. Often bring sights of whales, seals, sea otters and sea eagle.

-> Volunteer with Husky tours in Lapland, NorwayWe've been at Sven's place for a month in sept 09.
Awesome place, great accommodation, great food (you'll never be hungry :) ) and very friendly hosts.
Work is varied, as advertised. Hours can be variable and not counted, but they're looking for you to have a good stay, not exploiting you ;)
If they can have you, don't hesitate !
Cedric & Aurélie.
