Left by host for Workawayer (Debora)
Dear Bebora was staying at my place as an Workawayer for one week. She was just adorable to have around, and I felt like she was my own daughter almost from day one. She helped me in the garden with different tasks. She drove wheelbarrow with gravel, raked autum leaves, laid on bark, and gathered apples. Always with a smile on her face 😄
She also

I also was impressed about how wise and reflected she was at her age. So I enjoyed our nice conversations in the evenings. Therefore it was quite hard emotionally to say goodbye to this nice and lovely girl from Switzerland 🥰
I believe we will meet again 🙏

ayay, i don't even know where to start...
Bjørg was my first Workaway-expirience and i couldn't imagine that it would be such a great and unforgettable expirience.
i felt at home from the very beginning, as Bjørg picked me up at the busstation. She is just such a heartwarming, caring, flexible and open person. it felt like we already knew each

Bjørgs house is lovely-small and absolutely cozy. One reason more, why i felt comfortable from the beginning. The garden of her is a dream and you can really feel how much work and heart&soul she have already but in her garden to make it look like this. i really enjoyed working in the garden together with Bjørg.
when we didn't worked in the garden she showed me the area and the islands around like a born travel guide. 😛
so, i can highly recommend Bjørg as a host and i will never forget the time, the talks, all the things we experienced and all the beautiful memories we collected together... and of course i also won't forget the beautiful view from your little house-mountain.
from the bottom of my heart; thank you for everything! we will see us again. :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

My stay at Bjørgs Place was very nice. She lives in a cozy small house in the middle of the forest so you can really switch off. But don’t you think that it’s just vacation at her place. You can learn a lot of new things, you might never have done before. I can say that I really learned so much new and I liked it a lot. Doing concrete, rebuilding

When I left the place I felt that I could work as a professional gardener afterwards 🪴👨🏼🌾 Bjørg is a very nice and friendly person and she showed me around a lot of places, I also got to know her nice family and friends. I am very thankful for her help with my papers for the teacher training when we arrived at the post office ten minutes before it closed and had little problems with the printer before 🤪😳🏤 I won’t forget the walk to the lighthouse as well! That was chembe bra. It was a nice time, I learned so much and I am very happy for the experience! Bjørg is really nice and a very sporty person. She probably outperforms you when it comes to doing planks 🤯 the place offers a lot of possibilities to work and learn and one thing I appreciated very much was that Bjørg found work that was fitting me good and interesting. She managed to make a good plan, so the work wasn’t boring at any point. I am happy about my decision to go there. It was really nice and interesting. Anyway- it’s hard to put everything in words so maybe you should just go there and make your own nice experience 😉You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Lukas has been at my house for ten days. He is en excellent Workawayer. He did a lot of good work for me, and realy used his muscles. He digged a lot of vegetation from the mountain behind the house. He also digged a lot of soil avay from the lawn, and digged realy big stones avay, before he drove a lot of wheelbarrows with gravel. Making an aera

We had nice conversation, and cosy meals together, and we drive around the area to watch different tourist attractions.
We had a nice evening watching a football game with his favorites. Happiness in the house ⚽️😄
The best experience he told me was going 2 km. out to the ocean to Ryvarden lighthouse in a
storm with pouring rain. 💦💨🌊
I can highly recommend Lukas as a great Workawayer, and I hope he will come back one time 🤗

Finaly I will leave a feedback about Anna and Laura, who was at my plays for two weeks in september/october 😄
This comes a litle late because I have had a bad cole for some weeks 🤧😷🤪
These two girls from Germany was just an amusement to have around. Always with a smile, and a yes when it was something to do. They was positve to any kind of work I

Hard work in the garden, driving dirt in wheelbarrow, and stacking materials. They also painted ceiling and walls in a bathroom. This work was done in a fabulous way. They also helped with housework. We also got the opportunity to join a boat to clear plastic along the beaches.
This was a fantastic day together with a group of friends. Anna and Laura did a great job here aswell 🤗 We picked 350 kg. that day 👏♻️
The parents of these great girls can be realy proud 😄
Finally I will say that we had many funny trips around the area, and also great and cozy evenings together ✨💚
Thank you Anna and Laura, and good luck in Oslo and Sweden 🥰

Bjorg is a very outgoing and friendly person who made us feel really welcomed! She introduced us to her lovely family and showed us all the attractions that Haugesund has to offer. The place she lives in is really beautiful, directly in the nature - seems to be from a fairytale. We had some nice conversations about astrology and good TV
… read more nights.
The work was very doable, so we hope we did a good job painting the bathroom and helping in the garden.
We did not live in Bjorgs house but at the cabin of her friend that was really gorgeous!
Our 2 weeks with her passed by really quick and we had a very good time!

I stayed at Bjørgs beautiful House for 2 weeks. It is quite small but I had my own bedroom. The garden is very beautiful and there is still a lot of things to do until her paradise is finished. I had a lot of fun with Bjørg.
We were working for some days in her garden for digging and make a new fireplace and compost and more. In the house we made

I will recommend Monica as an extremely good and nice workawayer to have around. She does everything you ask her, and even more. She is a hard worker, and keep going until the work is done. Shuffeling dirt and pulling heavy wheelbarrow was a big help for me since I needed some extra muscles. She never complained at all.
We became very close, and

Deep in Viking country and within Bjørg’s forest oasis, we talked, we worked and we eat well. She has a cosy little place in the forest with her own mountain view of the surrounding country.
