Dear Luisa.
After nearly three weeks with us, you have truly become our special daughter! 😍
Your positive, reliable, and kind nature made it a joy to have you around. We marveled at your craftsmanship and the meticulous attention to detail you bring to everything you do. Your willingness to say "yes" rather than "no" made you an excellent fit

We loved having you with us and watching you embrace Danish living. It was heartwarming to see how comfortably you settled in, opened up, and spread your wings.
Thank you, for you Luisa! Your Danish home and foster moms are always here, ready to welcome you back. We wish you all the best on your onward life journey. May you be surrounded by positive energy and uplifting people, and may you experience great flow and feel supported by your inner great power.
Sending you the biggest hugs from all of us, along with happy purrs from Rosse, Sveske, and some extra ones from your favorite “roommate,” Tilde.

Hello lovelies,
I spent my first workaway with Bente and Ninna🤩. That was the best decision and experience ever. Bente and Ninna are very welcoming, open, have a lot of experience and I very quickly took them and their three cats to my heart. I always felt safe here and was able to learn a lot in the three weeks. Bente and Ninna taught me so much,

It was a completely new experience for me that I wouldn't want to have missed. Bente also invited me to her sculpture workshop. That was a great experience for me. It was interesting to work with the different materials, get to know her friends, and to be able to immerse myself in the world of art. I particularly enjoyed the great conversations with Bente and the wonderful food from Ninna. All in all, I had three really great weeks and am incredibly grateful that I was able to be with you, get to know you, your life, your culture and the three kittens. I will never forget this time and I remember it very fondly. Thank you for sharing all this and much more with me and for taking me in.🥰Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

The list is long full of lovely moments and memories with you in them. One is the two hour Folke dance with only experienced dancers at the folk music festival on Ærø 🤩
We enjoyed watching how you in a few weeks spread your wings more and grew trust and confidence.… THANKS for sharing, trusting, for being curious, for being you and for saying YES.
See you again - sooner, later or when you come back to DK. The spare guest room is always there for you 🥰
Best and many hugs from us to you ❤️

I want to start by saying: I really enjoyed my stay with Bente and Ninna ( and the three furry friends), and by saying: THANK YOU LADIES for having me for 6 weeks, for all the great moments and food we shared!

… read more learn more about danish culture, gardening and painting and so on, but I feel like I have learned a lot about myself and about 'life'. I feel like my spiritual journey/or journey to what I want in life started right here, with the ladies in Vester Skerninge. Bente is great at asking questions that really make you think, confront you, and realize certain things about yourself, certain patterns you are stuck in and could work on for example. I guess that can sound quite vague, and you will have to experience it for yourself;)
I loved the effort and time Bente and Ninna put in creating nice moments and all the time we spend together. Although I travelled alone to Vester Skerninge, I have not felt lonely at any time during my 6 weeks there. Even when I was home alone for a bit, the cats kept me company. They are adorable:) with each their own character.
Bente and Ninna's house is very tight and clean, which is a great place to stay, no clutter around which made me after a couple days feel more relaxed, with the beach super close it's an amazing place:) I loved all the food and drinks we had, and hope to continue eating more healthy and buy more organic products myself when i'm back home, cause I could feel the effect that had on me being super positive:)
Thank you sooooooo much ladies, and I hope to see you soon when I'm back in Denmark:)
I hope when I have a clean and nice place to stay in The Netherlands that I can be your hosts some day ;) !
All the best,

I stayed at Ninna and Bente’s place for 2 weeks and it was my first workaway experience. I can’t recommend it enough - the atmosphere in the house is lovely and warm, I felt very relaxed and welcomed from the first day. We had many amazing and enriching conversations, ate delicious, organic food and swam in the beautiful sea that’s just 4 km away

A stay with Ninna and Bente is a true testament to what a WorkAway should be - INCREDIBLE! The feelings of warmth, acceptance, and friendship are present from the start, and the interest and care that they both put into you is amazing. We spent our three-week stay painting Bente's workshop in Svendborg, as well as painting their house in Vester
… read more Skerninge and creating new edges for the plant beds in the garden. Both Ninna and Bente were supportive in these projects, both helping us to complete them and making sure we were comfortable doing them on our own when they could not be there. Outside of these tasks, they openly shared their lives with us and really made us feel part of the picture. We joined them for morning dips in the sea, travelling around Denmark to see their favorite places (hiking in the forest, northern Fyn, and the beautiful Skovsgaard Gods to name a few), and at mealtimes where we would enjoy Ninna's incredible homemade food. Ninna even made us traditional Danish dishes, and Bente made sure we tried the best croissants and icecream in the world (it's true, they were). The amount of care these two have is second to none, and we will definitely take their views on enjoying life and living in the moment with us forever.
To Ninna and Bente, a sincere thank you from us. See you again someday, and don't forget it's inevitable to use butter in the bathroom! With love, your drengern.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Dear dear Ulya.
I was very moved by your honest review and personal message...

I spent less than a week in Ninna and Bente’s house but it was a big adventure full of learning and wonder.

They were not very demanding on the workload but I managed to feel connected to their house and garden by doing some little tasks for the time they were away. Three cats of different personalities kept me company while I stayed at home but it was difficult to be indoors: the fascinating nature around the village was calling. On the bicycle they kindly shared with me, I explored the seaside and the surroundings, I had the chance to travel to the nearby islands on my own and in the lovely company of Ninna and Bente.
I couldn’t wish more from my first workaway and I was incredibly lucky to spend it in the house of Ninna and Bente!
Sending you my best wishes!

Sofia and Nino, our darling girls... we will miss you so much when leaving Denmark soon after 12 months.
