    Hi!

    Tilla (33), Christer (34) and Alfie (2) here!

    We have a life project going on Lofoten, and we need help to get the project running.

    About us.
    In 2018 we (Tilla and Christer) decide to run away from the city life in Oslo area and move up to Lofoten as a 1-year plan. Work less, enjoy more. We instantly fell in love with the Lofoten Vibe and decided to not put a time limit on this adventure. We are using the Lofoten playground to the max; Splitboarding, climbing, surfing and fishing.

    On a cold November day in 2019 we got the opportunity to run a old holiday in Ørsvågvær, Kabelvåg. January 1th 2020 we started renovating the entire resort the contains around 40 buildings, and has a hotel building, restaurant, Cabins, tent spots, motorhome spots and a Spa area.
    In November 2020 we got a new family member, Alfred (Alfie). Then the time priority changes a lot. So, running a holiday resort, restaurant and have a small kid its time consuming, so we are looking for help.


    Many of the main areas and hotel rooms need what we call a "light renovation" meaning floors, walls and ceiling need switching out, paint, organization, cleaning and so on. In this big campsite cleaning is a big task to do.
    We also have a restaurant, where we need help for running the breakfast buffe, waitering or maybe you are a chef?


    Because it is a big campsite it takes time to get to know the place and the routines, so we like to have people who can stay for a longer stay, a minimum for 1 month.

    We encourages those who travel several together to take contact when we have room for several people at the same time. We think that will be better for you, so you will have a community and someone to hang out with in your spare time.

    We also prefer that you have the driver license, just makes it easier :)

    About you.
    please write us very briefly about yourself:
    - How long would you want to join us? We enjoy having people around for 1-2m
    - What would you be excited to help us with?
    - Have you worked as volunteer before?
    - What are your expectations?

    We can offer payment and accommodation while you stay with us.

    We are looking for someone from may month :)
