Vom Workawayer (Konstantinos & Charlotte) für Host
We stayed at Kristin's for a month (Mid-January to February). The work was quite straightforward and included taking care of the puppies for the daily walks, feeding and caring for them, cleaning the dog yard, house sitting and cleaning (e.g., daily vacuuming), cooking, and caring for the beautiful cat. Although stubborn and strong, we loved every
… read more moment with the big puppies, Anjij and Aslak. We felt connected and close to them, more by the day. If you care for them, you will receive it a thousandfold.
As we arrived mid-winter, the temperature was constantly below zero, and towards the end of our stay, the average was minus 10 to 15. The landscape was full of snow, and combined with cold temperatures in the morning, it made the long hikes with the puppies challenging at times (and of course also fun). One needs to be prepared appropriately for this kind of weather and the physicality of walking dogs for long hours. Choose wisely, ask questions, and you will not be disappointed.
Halfway through our stay, Konstantis had an injury while hiking, but Kristin was kind enough to let us stay with modifications in the work while he was healing. That was a nice opportunity for him to embark on new projects such as sanding, polishing, and painting old furniture. Thank you, Kristin, for your understanding.
Finally, Kristin was a good host overall. She is available for assistance and guidance, and she deeply understands what the dogs need. You can learn a lot from her! Although we felt the cultural immersion aspect could be improved, we had a positive experience which left us wanting more. We will miss the farm and the puppies. As a last note, her profile is accurate and workawayers who are interested should take the time to read carefully. This is not your regular workaway where you stop working and you 'log out'. Living with animals requires constant attention, accountability, and responsibility.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Staying at Kristin's place was a truly amazing experience. We arrived at the beginning of November and ended up staying for 3 months. It's safe to say that what started as a Workaway experience turned into a friendship.

Working with the dogs was a dream come true. They were some of the most loving and wonderful animals we've ever had the pleasure of spending time with. They just simply love people and want to spend every single second with them and we cherished every moment of it.
Walking them was sometimes challenging due to their high energy, but also really fun and rewarding. We ended up exploring the whole area and discovering new paths every day. At first it might not look like it, but there are many trails to be discovered and one has to be a bit adventurous to find them. Good hiking boots are a must 'cause it can get quite muddy and slippery at times, also the dogs are really strong so being able to handle them properly is essential.
Each dog has their own unique personality and we absolutely loved getting to know them individually more and more over time.
We also enjoyed cooking for everybody, and learning how to work with sourdough and experiment with different baking recipes! Renovating the kitchen door and painting the windows was also a very pleasant and rewarding side quest 😊
Beyond our wonderful time with Kristin and the dogs, we also connected with some amazing fellow workawayers, making this experience even more special. We are truly grateful for every moment spent there!

I recommend Elisa and Allesandro as workawayers to anyone who wants to have nice and reliable help. You can trust them with your home and they will do all the tasks you ask them too. They also see what's needed to be done and they ask if they need guidance. And they don't give in before the task is finished. They kept my house clean and they made

Elisa and Allesandro is very social, nice and easy to be around, and I really miss our talks.
I would'nt hesitate asking them to stay. If you need more information, Elisa and Allesandro have my contact information.
And to be honest, I hope Elisa and Allesandro, that you will come and visit us as friends.
Best wishes from Kristin and the animals.
Our first experience with Workaway couldn’t have been better. And not just because we love dogs and became attached to each one of them, but also thanks to Kristin. She is a special person, and we had a great connection from the very first moment, making us feel at home. It’s very important to her that her guests feel comfortable in her house. She
… read more even lent us her car whenever she could, so we didn’t have to rely on public transport to get around. Plus, the village is very close, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the supermarket by bike. We only regretted not spending more time with her due to her long work shifts, but it was enjoyable to share moments and talk. She also taught us how to make waffles and eat them the “Norwegian way.”
As for the puppies, they are adorable. Kristin taught us a lot about them and how they think, and day by day, it became easier for us as we learned to understand them. It definitely takes strength to take them for walks, attention, and sometimes even patience, but they are so sweet and love meeting new people. We also got to know Chilli, the puppies’ mom, who sleeps in front of the rooms because she doesn’t like being alone for long.
The walks are pleasant due to the beautiful scenery in the forest. For carpentry lovers, there’s always work to do; there’s always something to fix or design together with Kristin. Last but not least, the cat Skybert was the cherry on top; he’s a very sweet cat, and during the month we were there, there wasn’t a night he didn’t sleep with us.
We are very happy with this experience and would have loved to stay longer, so thank you again, Kristin. Hope to see you again!
Our experience with Kristin was fantastic from day one. Kristin was very prompt to communicate and organise our stay. All of the instructions for the location of the property were perfect - the home is very easy to get to via public transport.
Kristins home was spacious on a large block of land amongst the forest. We had a beautiful big room to

As a host, Kristin was so welcoming, kind and considerate. We felt so valued and comfortable in her home. We were also very lucky to receive an authentic Norwegian experience during our stay.. we learned to make waffles, bake cinnamon buns and how to knit (the Norwegian way of course)!
We're really grateful for our time with Kristin and the puppies and we couldn't recommend this Workaway more! An amazing first Workaway experience.
Thank you Kristin!!
We really enjoyed our one month stay at Kristin’s place, the work with the dogs was really nice, they are really cute and we learned a lot around them!
We had free time to go hiking around the house and visit a nearby city, which we really enjoyed! Kristin taught us how to knit and cooked us some Norwegian dishes which we loved! We got everything

I stayed at Christine's house for about three weeks in October. There, I took care of two Alaskan Malamutes, cooked dinner, expanded the dog's yard, cleaned the shed, made the puppies' beds, tended the fireplace, butchered a deer, and made treats for the dogs.

It was a privilege to spend three weeks with Kristin and her two beloved dogs in the great outdoors of Norway. I am convinced that the true happiness of human beings lies here. I would love to come back someday.

We shared our month between Heggeli (the secluded house in the mountains) and Bo. Both places were very comfortable, it was nice to have our alone time in Heggeli as the house is quite
… read more magical with it’s stunning view and remoteness. It was just as nice to spend time in Bo, getting to know Kristin more personally and discover a little more Norwegian culture. Kristin always made sure we had what we needed, including food and cooked us some delicious Norwegian meals! We are very grateful. What can we say about Balder and Chili? Love at first sight! It took a few days to get to know them and what they needed but we soon found our rhythm and stopped being intimidated by Balder’s size and quickly saw that he is a massive soft teddy bear in need of lots of cuddles and attention! Chili is a lot more reserved but definitely the queen and leader of the pack. Walking them was an experience, we walked an average of 3hours/day which suited us great as we love to walk, but be prepared: although the dogs can be generally obedient to the commands Kristin teaches you, they can sometimes be quite stubborn and will happily test your patience on more than one occasion, but we found treats and cuddles always worked to bring the love back into the pack. We hope to come back soon to visit the whole family again!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
