This was my fourth work away and it was 10/10. My time with Christian and Bjorn was the ideal work away experience, exactly what I wanted to get out of volunteering with work away.

In my 4 months abroad this was my best workaway experience by far. Couldn’t have ask for better hosts, I enjoyed every day. Bjørg and Christian both are very friendly and open minded people with a kind heart. I wish I could’ve stayed for longer. Thanks you for everything!

My stay was truly amazing. Herand is such a peaceful and idyllic place with beautiful views wherever you go. Christian and Bjørg are very kind and open-minded and took good care of me. Besides, they appreciate the little things in life (like the sun :D) and seem to have positive energy around them so I really enjoyed spending time with them.

Idse is the perfect helper if you have construction projects or other heavy work in progress, but he can also take on simpler tasks and complete them perfectly.
