We are a family of 3 living on a really small farm just outside the town of Sauðárkrókur. We have around 25 sheep and we also own a few horses. We can use all kinds of help around our personal home, both inside and out, and we also love to meet new people. If you are interested in being a part of our family for a short time and see the beautiful landscape there is to see around us, please contact us :)

Arbeit
Mostly helping around the house mixed with all kinds of things that might come up. We also have a small greenhouse that we are trying to organize and take care of.
Dieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
My husband does not speak much english so he will be trying to teach you to understand him, and vice versa would be appreciated 😀
Unterkunft
You would have a room of your own in our house and of course have access to other parts of the house as needed and be a part of the family as much as you wish.
Was noch ...
We are close to many historic places, for example Hólar í Hjaltadal, Grettislaug and Glaumbær. We are also very close to a great horse rental farm. And since the country isn't so big it doesn't take much time to drive around a bit to see something else. The volunteers have a chance to learn the icelandic language and be part of our family.

I spent three weeks with Helga, Guđjón and Magnús, and I enjoyed every moment! They are so kind, thoughtful and have a good sense of humor! They let me borrow the car and showed me places nearby. We built the summerhouse and I helped with household work. The jobs were nice and it wasn't too hard. And it was nice to learn new skills! They have… read more plenty of horses and we rode a few times a week. I had chances to ride with the herd of horses and it was super awesome! Helga even knitted icelandic sweaters for me and my mom and we will be grateful forever. And their cat and dog are lovely! I really recommend this place! And I can't wait to meet you again! Maybe next time in Finland! I miss you already! Takk fyrir!!

I had a great stay with Helga, Guðjón and their son Magnús and instantly felt apart of the family from day one. What was great was the amount of independence they give you as I was allowed to take the car a couple of times and explore this area of Iceland. They are not strict on the work also and it was not too difficult. Whilst I was there the… read more work mainly consisted of constructing a fence for a future project of putting the horses in a bigger area of land as well as clearing out some containers which had previously held the horses. Thanks again for letting me stay and good luck with your future projects! Will (:

Vom Host für Workawayer (Tyler & Shruti)
Tyler is an amazing guy, he was always so happy and cheerful no matter what you asked him to do, he did it with no trouble at all. And even though Magnús was asking him to play all the time he was so kind to him, Tyler is the kind of guy who is easy to have around and felt like family the moment he came. He is missed very much and often Magnús is… read more asking where he is.

Helga Guðjón and their son Magnús are amazing. They treated me like family for the very short week I was there. I can't believe how fast the time flew by. I miss them already.
The work was very rewarding; one day Guðjón's brother needed help herding his horses. Some days we collected and cut wood for a fence that they're building for their… read more horses. Feeding their rabbits was always fun too. Magnús even took me on a tour around the hills in back of the town. I can't wait to come back again!
