Dear Linda, thank you for the two months we spent at your farm!
Linda, Anine and all the other family members were super nice, welcoming and always helpful.
We learnt a lot about farming, norwegian lifestyle and farm animals, especially horses. During the time we stayed at Lindas farm, there were two foals, so everyday was exciting and we got to
… read more practice the basics with the foals, for example putting a halter on and off and walking with them. We enjoyed all the chats with Linda and the daily banana ice cream in the evening while watching tv shows. The christmas time was very comfy. They showed us what a typical advent breakfast is like in Norway and how you make the perfect hot chocolate. We were able to ride the horses, which was very cool. Furthermore it was funny to collect eggs, talk with the horses as you watch them eating, or helping Linda with removing cow shit.
We had a lot of fun, thank you for everything!
We wish you all the best.

Thanks for the lovely 3 weeks I spent at the farm! Generally warm hearted and so welcoming people & of course animals! Linda basically owns the words "christmas spirit" ;) ,we had advent breakfasts and so enjoyed the christmas decoration. Big thanks to especially Anine & Ella and Ole for taking me on rides through the forest and the snow! Anine, I
… read more really enjoyed our little gossip rounds in the kitchen and the country karaoke ;)) The dogs and cats are absolutely adorable and want to be cuddled all the time, the horses have a really strong personality and are just great and I didn´t know how much cows can want to be pet. I felt really welcomed and comfortable the whole time and enjoyed all the interesting talks, fun movie nights& grocery shopping trip. Linda, thank you for just sitting in the kitchen and chatting about everything and for showing me how to make the absolut best hot cocoa. To you all (& of course Ducters!!) all the best!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Thanks a lot for the last three weeks on your farm! We will never forget this amazing time!
You let us be a part of your family and made it possible for us to live some wonderful norwegian days! Thanks a lot for your trust, Linda. You made it possible to us to make some awesome experiences with your horses and cows! For example to get the cows

Ella&Ole, we hope to see your house finished when we'll come back. It was quite fun to help you painting the kitchen (at least most of the time;))
We had great days, thank you for everything and see you again!

Dear Linda, Anine, Johann, Ella & Ole, Carl and all the other people I met. I had such a good time and I couldn't imagine feeling as good in another family as in my own but being at your place proved me wrong.
Really, you gave me the feeling of being a member of your family. Especially with you Anine. You reminded me of my little sister at home
… read more who I missed the most and I'm so grateful for this.
I loved everything between the long rides and adventures with you and just sitting in front of the TV and laughing our asses off! I will never forget these precious times with you!
Linda, as I read in the comments what a strong, wise and independent woman you are I became even more curious to meet you. I was sometimes even shocked by the stories you told me.
I was impressed by the fact that you are standing next to me with such a strong mindset despite all the pressure and responsibility you have behind you.
From the bottom of my heart Linda, I'm forever grateful for the chance of meeting an inspiring woman like you.
You showed me the definition of making the best possible out of whatever life brings you.
I loved being at your place and if I ever return back to Norway, I will without any doubt come and visit you.
The experiences I made with all the animals (especially horses,specificly Dobby ;)) are so valuable to me.I'm unable to express how grateful I am for your trust in me over the animals.
I had tons of fun training the horses and being responsible for them!
Your farm is so peaceful and turns crazy animals into nice and well behaving ones apart from the amazing people that surround it.
Your animals are the best (after mine of course😋) and made me feel like home.I already miss y'all!PS: Carl should really open a bakery, his cakes and breads are the best! 😛Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I spent 10 weeks at this farm and I am so thankful for the experience I made and that I stayed with such a great family in such a lovely place.
Everyone was very kind to me and I could feel that they did everything so that I feel welcomed and at ease while I lived with them.
The work was good, the animals are really sooo great (especially the dogs
… read more which I have taken to my heart), there is always lots of good food and in general I learned so much. Linda told me a lot about Norway/culture/ect. and of course also about animals and "farm life".
It was also no problem for me to travel to Oslo (or other cities) for a short trip, I just had to tell Linda early enough what I was planning to do. :)
If anything was not okay (which was really only rarely the case), it was also no problem to just talk about it so that we could figure it out together.
Linda, I learned so much during this time and I am so thankful for everything (and thank you so much for the little pep talk you gave me on the last evening :)). You are a very inspiring, kind and strong woman, I hope you know that. I will never ever forget my time in Norway and if I ever comeback to Norway (which I definitely want to do!) I hope that I will have the chance to visit you again.
All the best to you, Anine, Johan, Ella, your mom and give everyone else who I have met during my stay my regards. :)
Tusen, tusen takk for alt!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Tereza)
If you ever get a request from Treza about a stay with you-then you should act fast! This amazing young woman is really one in a million! From the minute she came, she was a great help. I had many Workawaers, but Tereza really stands out in a fantastic way. If I could I would keep her here forever.
She works well, sees what needs to be done
… read more without being told, has great skills all over, friendly and sweet.
Do yourself a favor and take her in as a workawayer, you will not regret...you will only miss her when she leaves!
Vom Workawayer (Tereza) für Host
Wonderful! Amazing! I will never ever forget the days I spent in the farm and especially Linda. She is strong woman, full of joy and laughter, despite some hard times what life brings. I did feel welcome from the first day. And the animals...so many and so many names :), hard to remember all of them, especially cows (except Markus) and chickens.
… read more But the cute doggies, lovely cats and I should not forget the horses as well. I had a room for myself, but I did really use it only for sleeping time, cause it was so much fun and talks and all. Its only one day Im back home and I miss you already. Linda, I will come to see the 5! puppies, so keep a space for me in October... say my greeting to everybody.
Vom Workawayer (Katerina & Marie) für Host
Linda is one of the kindest and strongest person we have ever met. We stayed at Linda's farm for more than 2 weeks and we wish we could stay longer. Despite the problems caused by weather this year they treated us like a part of the family. We had so much great time thanks to her children too. They all are very open-minded people without any
… read more prejudices. We would recommend Linda as a host to everyone who loves animals and wants to meet amazing people. But only if you really want to be helpfull.
We wish you Linda, Johan, Ella and Anina all the luck in the world, because you deserve it!
We hope to see you again,
Tusen takk for everything,

I will never forget my time with Linda and her family! I stayed with them for almost three months and I absolutely adored her beautiful and secluded farm in rural Norway. It was so amazing to learn about Norwegian culture with them and to help in any way I could with the animals. Their sweet horses, dogs, cows, calves and chickens were so friendly
… read more and well treated, it was a delight to cuddle, feed and care for them every day. I am so thankful for Linda for letting me into her home and every aspect of her life. The whole family was accommodating, understanding and so friendly. I enjoyed my stay so much and know that we will keep in touch. I can't wait to return for a visit in the summer.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Katerina & Ludek)
This girl is unike. She came here with no experience of farm work at all, but quickly observed and worked very well on the farm
She was so nice to have here on farm and in our house with our family. Helpful, respectful, intellingent, honest and the sweetest personality.
She's a hard, good worker. She picks up fast and is not afraid to take
… read more part in any kind of tasks. Anyone wondering if they should hire her, DO IT!!! I promise you will not regret.
Katerina is educated reg.nurse and so am I. I can see she will be a great nurse and the fasillity that hire her will be very lucky to have her. They will get a young nurse who cares and long to do best for all, and she will do so too.
We really miss Katerina very much and would be happy to have her back. If she would ask me again if she could come here again, I would say yes in a second and keep her as long as possible.
So anyone looking for a great workawayer or even better a nurse, go for Katerina. I can be contacted for further information or questions. Katerina lived with us for two mounts and we enjoyed every day with her.
Thank you so much Katerina, we're so lucky to have had you her with us. Wish you all the best, you're a very special young lady!

The best first workaway experience I could have ever wish! And I think there is no possibility to get better host than Linda. She is the most nice, kind and honest person I've met in last few years. It was really great experience to me and I will never forget it. Even Linda had some bad experiences with other volunteers, she is still openhearted
… read more without any predictions. She is really strong minded person who leads her family towards better future (not by commanding, but by explaining and by trying to find their opportunities and interests). She is busy quiet a lot and she deserves workawayers to be helpfull to her. So if you (as a her future workawayer) don´t mean it serriously and don´t want to be helpfull, don´t text her. But if you want to help, than be sure, that text Linda and ask her about opportunity to be her workawayer is a great choice.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
