Lars was a big help for us two weeks. He is a kind person, good worker, flexible, tidy. It is easy to get along with him. And he cooked good pasta. We definitly recommend him for any host.

Sometimes you are at a place just doing the things that need to be done but later when you look back you realize how special it was. Here i already realized that this was such a place while i was still there. I stayed only two weeks, but got to experience much of the lifestyle. It would be great to come back in another season.. and make some shoes!

Reinebringen, ryten, ramberg, all beautifull places, but the most memorable thing of the lofoten will be those kids going around the chimney on the toy car. Turbo time! It was a bit strange to suddenly be part of this family, but also a lot of fun. I could help around the house with some works and even did a bit of babysitting. And a visit to… read more

It was a very short stay before the winter, but im glad i got the opportunity to visit. I was curious to learn about ‘svanhilds weird rules’ as one workawayer mentioned in the feedback, it turned out not to be so weird especially when i learned about the experience they had with some weird workawayers. Luckily those had been exeptions. Although… read more

A paradise it truly is, but maintanance can be hell. As a workawayer I could help balance the scale in the right direction. Many jobs get so much easier with some help, so i didn’t have to do much to make a big difference. It was a lot of fun with Hilde and Ulf being special characters who I got along with very well, as well as another great… read more

I had a wonderful time at the small farm and shop in Nesflaten. Anybody who’s willing to put in some effort can experience Norwegian farmlife here. It can at times be a lot of work, but there was a very good balance between work and entertainment and most of the time both coincided. If you don’t have time to stay and work you should definitely… read more

Lars is a very nice person, we can highly recommend him as a workawayer to everyone. He was of very good help in all the different work we had to do during his stay. He adapted to our life and all the different tasks very quickly, so a (long) week was ok, allthough he could have stayed on as long as he wanted. Very easy going, very pleasant, tidy,… read more

It was a wonderful experience to help a great artist with painting (the house).
Heike is a fantastic host. She made me soon feel at home, we had delicious dinners and she made sure that i got out to explore the area even though the work there is never finished. She has a lot of stories to tell and we had a lot of interesting conversations untill… read more

Lars has been my first experience with using workaway as a host and it was the best start I could wish for. Lars has a lovely, sensible, kind and attentive attitude and a good sense of humor. He has been of great help, pleasant to share time with and really good company. Taking part of daily life, it seemed he has been here always. I can warmly… read more
