Description
We are a Dutch couple who have taken an indefinite sabbatical. Nanda, 42 years, and Esther, 40 years. We have bought a mobile home to explore Europe. Our journey starts in Norway, were we do a lot of hikes in the beautiful natural surroundings. We love to meet people, to cook vegetarian dishes (Esther), to do gardening work, painting, take care of animals, play with kids and to learn new things.

It would be great to combine our trip with an insight into Norwegian life and to gain some new experiences.

Even though we are vegetarians we do eat some fish and we would like to learn to catch and prepare them ourselves.

Nanda and Ester was a pleasure to spend time and work together with. It is very easygoing as they have their own camping car. It was a short and spontaneous stay and we managed to get much work done in short time. Always positive attitude and very hardworking. Highest reccomandations to other hosts.

Jen and Tim were amazing hosts. It was our first time as workawayers, but from the very first moment they made us feel so comfortable.

We worked hard, but it was very rewarding and a pleasure to… read more

Nanda and Esther came and worked at our place for a week. They worked in the garden and helped out in the house as well. They were fantastic workers and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
