    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Nice people, beautiful nature, eating together, talking about Norway or your country.
    We have had a lot of workawayers here, and it is nice to try some different food and hear how people do things in other countries, and maybe learn a few words.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We now stay in the main house, with shared rooms for workawayers.
    Food: To be able to afford having workawayers I need to keep the costs down, so if you are a bit picky regarding the food, this might not be the right place for you, or you are welcome to buy what you want at the supermarket.
    We mostly cook vegetarian meals.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In Kristiansand, there are many forests, never more than a short walk away. Near the town center are the areas Baneheia and Odderøya, perfect for walking recreation or winter activities at winter time.

    Swimming: Do not forget your swimwear, swimming possibilities are many, outdoors and indoors, in saltwater or freshwater, swimmingpools, beaches (among them the Town Beach and Hamresanden) and rocks.

    The beautiful archipelago off Kristiansand (Skjærgården) consists of amazing landscapes, a paradise of islands, skerries, and rocks. In the summer time, you can reach it by sight-seeing-boats from the town centre. The archipelago and the surrounding fjords is also a perfect setting for sailing and fishing
