It has been a great pleasure to have Damián here for 2 weeks. Very grateful that he wanted to come to us and our place and it feels like a gift to get to know him and we are super grateful for all the good help he has given us!

Damián is a charming young man with a big and caring heart! He is smiling, independent, cheerful, social, easy-going, … read more pleasant, sporty, caring, helpful, interested, willing to work, considerate and strong!
Fascinating that a young man from Chile wants to come all the way to northern Norway and we are very happy that Damian's dream of seeing the aurora and reindeer came true while he was here.

We had some language challenges which we solved by "talking with the whole body". Damián was good at asking if something was unclear. He performed all work tasks in an excellent, careful and fast manner. All work done outside to prepare variously for frost and snow coming any day.
Road sticks were placed, stones were moved to make a future ramp at a terrace, sand was taken from the shore, several wheelbarrow loads of seaweed were placed in the potato fields, he chopped wood for days in pouring rain, fortunately under a party tent roof, wood was piled in our new wood shed and some in sacks, piles of material were swept free of leaves, sorted and tarpaulins laid over them, leaves removed from roof trusses, the fire pit was emptied of ash, many different things on the property were moved on to name some of the tasks we were lucky enough to get good help with.

We had many nice and interesting conversations and there was also a lot of laughter. Incredibly cozy that he wanted to row a trip with our little boat, for over an hour he enjoyed himself on a quiet sea in the sunset.
We had several nice moments by the fireplace, we chatted, smiled, admired the aurora that danced so beautifully in the sky countless times.
Another very nice thing was that we could also be quiet together. Being together without having to talk all the time is also a nice thing to do together, and which you can't do with just anyone.

He orientated himself quickly in the area here, took bus here and there, went on different hikes and took bus to Kvaløya to go reindeer hunting. And indeed he found reindeer. Impressive!
Exciting to see him maneuver his drone, there were many file films and pictures we were lucky enough to get from him.

The last workingday turned out pretty wet and funny. We really needed to removed leaves from the creek behind the cabin. In pouring rain we did this together while singing "singing in the rain". We were both wet and sweaty after the work done, but still happy and smiling.
We agreed that we will hardly forget this situation.

2 weeks passed quickly, far too quickly.
Dear Damian, we miss you! As we talked about, we hope to see each other again. Thank you so much for even inviting us to Chile!

Lucky are those who get to meet this handsome young man and get help from him!

All the best from Erling and Tone :)

When I was in the house of Tone I feeling really good.
She and her husband were wonderful to me, and we spent two weeks together, helping out around the house and yard. I got to see some beautiful places, and the cabin where I slept was really comfortable. I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights during their peak season. Sharing a campfire … read more

I really enjoyed spending almost 3 weeks with everyone. The people here are really fabulous and the views, the sea and the mountains dazzle you every day. It was my first time in Italy and I don't regret having started it in this incredible way. I'm taking away some lovely memories and I hope I've been helpful.

Violaine a été ma première expérience Workaway et c'était vraiment agréable de partager avec elle et sa famille qui sont des personnes très gentilles et qui vous incluent dans leur famille. Ils ont été un soutien essentiel lors de mon séjour en France.
J'espère vous revoir à l'avenir et je vous souhaite le meilleur. Tú amigo Chileno.

Damian est resté parmi nous environ 3 mois. Malgré qu'il ait trouvé un travail en ville, le reste du temps ,il nous a beaucoup aidé. Très gentil, bien élevé, très volontaire et toujours prêt à nous aider. Il a su s'intégrer chez nous très facilement malgré la barrière de la langue qui n'a pas été un problème étant donné que je parle moi aussi … read more
