Our dearest Annika has a heart of Gold! We have been so blessed by this remarkable young lady. She is eager to help and she got along well with all of us! She spend a lot of time with our son, helping him with school, playing games and last but not least; helping him learn backflip on our trampoline. I often watched them play together and was
… read more amazed with her skills with kids, she truly was a good friend!
Annika cooked amazing meals and she baked delicious apple-pie! We enjoyed her company while playing the board-game 'Dominion', she is a very fast learner! She also helped our daughter with schoolwork, our daughters French improved while she was here. Annika is well on her way to become a teacher, which is a profession she surely will be perfect at. Annika is cheerful, thoughtful, kind and respectful. She stayed with us for a month before she left on a little adventure up North and then came back to stay a while longer. She left such a good impression and we miss her! We wish this remarkable woman a brilliant future and hope she comes back to us someday.
Love- Your Norwegian Family

Marie, Raymond and the kids made my journey to Norway unforgettable. From the moment I arrived they included me into their family life and gave me an interesting insight into homeschooling. During my stay we had many good conversations and I learnt a lot about eating vegan and gluten free. I really enjoyed our trips to the beach, thrift-store

Sweet Lena! This beautiful young woman has been a real pleasure to have around. We have enjoyed every minute of her stay at our house. She is one of the most conciderate and kind people I have met. She is mature for her age and took very good care of HomeSchooling with our Children. She even made some curriculum herself, she is a skilled teacher

Lena is very respectful towards both people and property. She is also a fun loving girl with a good sense of humour and we had many good laughs together. The Children also enjoyed her company and they miss her already!
Lena is also a skilled cook, we sure enjoyed her German Marmor-cake that she made from an old family-recipe! She is very capable of making different meals and was overall a great help in the kitchen.
She actively helped around the house when she saw that something needed to be done, such good help for mama!
Dear Lena, it is only a day since you left but we are eagerly looking forwards to seeing you again. We love you!

My dear Norwegian family
Staying with you was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. Right from the beginning, you felt like family to me and your house on the incredibly beautiful countryside of Norway became my home sweet home.
The month I spent with you passed so quickly but was full of meaningful conversations with Marie and Raymond

Both Felicia and Brian are so precious children and I loved spending time with them. They felt like the younger siblings I‘ve never had.
Raymond and Marie are very inspiring and I loved sharing thoughts, ideas and memories with them. They are very generous hosts and always cared for my wellbeing. Their house is located on the beautiful calm countryside where I enjoyed pure nature and silence.
I couldn‘t have thought of a better first workaway experience and I‘ll always be grateful for the opportunity that family gave me. It was amazing and I already miss you all!
I love you, stor klem

I can not put my graditute towards this family in words I feel, but I will try my very best. Marie and her family opened up their home for me and took me in as family.
