Description
My name is Jakob, I am 19 years old from Norway. I started this project when i dropped out of school back in 2021. SInce then we have built 3 glamping units that I rent from May to October. I ONLY READ REQUESTS THAT ARE SCHEDULED DURING THIS PERIOD.
Workawayers from EU countries (+ Switzerland and Iceland) have automatic work permit in Norway. Helpers from other countries need to ensure that they have the correct visa if required, and work permit.
All workawayers need to have their personal travel insurance.
You will be paid 1350 Euros every month, and it´s basically just 3-4 hours of work a day.
Free accomodation with self-catering in an old farmhouse with simple standard, see pictures.
THERE IS JUST WORK AND PAYMENT FOR 1 PERSON
BUT THERE IS ROOM FOR 3-4 PEOPLE IN THE CABIN WHERE YOU WILL LIVE

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will meet guests from Norway and many other countries. The place is situated in a rural landscape with spread farms around. If you enjoy nature, woodland and mountains this place is for you. Me and my family also live on a farm about a 10 minute drive away, where you will be welcome to visit as well.

Help
The main job will be to make all 2 or 3 units ready for new guests every day, that includes changing the beds, laundry, washing dishes and some cleaning. And to welcome and guide arriving guests. Normally the guests arrive in the afternoon, so a normal work day will be 2 or 3 hours in the morning or early afternoon.

Accommodation
Old farmhouse which belonged to the summer pasture for our cows. Here stayed the people that took care of and milked the cows every summer. The house is very simple but has electricity, and there is cold and hot water in the barn beside. Simple outside toilet as well.
What else ...
The place is 5-6 km away from the center of Oppdal, if you don't have a car, we can organize bicycles for you. The road to Oppdal is quite flat. Oppdal is a mountain town between Dovre and Trollheimen with a lot of tourism. Things like mountain hiking, climbing, rafting, fishing, and offroad cycling are very popular here. Just search "Oppdal" and you will find a lot more information online.
