Amazing!
We stayed at his place and where welcomed with open arms by him and his family. On the weekend he provided us ski equipment and a ride, if needed. He also invited us to family dinners and activities during Christmas and New Year. We ate a Lot of national dishes and felt like we're part of his Family. During work he was patient and showed

My first Workaway experience with Ole was fantastic, and I’m very glad I spent three weeks with him in November. He is a patient and kind host who explains everything clearly and teaches you a lot along the way. The work was interesting and varied, and I learned so much during my stay.

I had a great time at Ole's. Building the cabin was great fun, I learned a lot of new things and was definitely inspired for my future project. Also all the interaction in the group was great, whether it was baking together, having a cold bath in the morning, going to the sauna or on a hike on a sunny day.
In the evenings we either played cards,

I’ve spent three relaxing weeks with Ole this summer. Ole is a really nice host that is eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible! The work is not that demanding, and you’ll learn a lot about house refurbishment.
If you are looking for a peaceful workaway that’s the place to be! You will discover morning bath in a beautiful natural lake.

Alexis stayed with us for a short period, but he made a really great impression. He is hardworking, reliable, and brings a positive attitude. He quickly takes initiative and is easy to work with. Although he wasn’t here for long, we truly appreciated his help and his kind presence.

My first experience as a workawayer with Ole has been awesome and I am glad I got the chance to help him in his project.

I really reccomend the experience for anyone who likes being in the wild and learning new things!
What a experience! We stayed with Ole for two weeks on the mountain farm during August. We helped him with renovating his mountain farm while our main task was Paneling.
Ole is an open, warm-hearted person. During work (and also in spare time) you can ask him any question, no matter how stupid it is;)

Mattes is an exceptional WorkAway’er and an incredible person. He stayed with me in the mountains near Vinstra, helping renovate the floors of what used to be my family's summer farm. Despite the demanding tasks— ripping out wooden floors, digging, insulating, and pouring concrete — Mattes approached each one with enthusiasm and determination. His

What made the experience even more enjoyable was Mattes' positive attitude and great sense of humor. Whether we were working hard or taking a break, he always brought a positive energy that made even the toughest jobs fun.
During his stay, we enjoyed many skiing trips, extended adventure time lunch breaks, and fun evenings playing cards, dice, and watching movies. Our weekends snowboarding were particularly memorable.
Mattes is not only a hardworking and dedicated individual but also kind, thoughtful, and always considerate of those around him. The best word to describe him is "genuine." He has a warm and adventurous spirit that made his stay unforgettable.
I highly recommend Mattes as a WorkAwayer and look forward to future visits.
Kind regards and all the best,
Ole

Ole is an amazing hos. I stayed with him in the mountains near Vinstra on what formerly was the family's summerfarm, renovating the floors (from ripping out wooden floors over digging and insulating to pouring concrete + various miscellaneous tasks). I experienced the tasks mostly as drudging, but with Ole working alongside me at all times, it was

Sometimes, if the weather was good, we extended our lunch break to go for skiing trips. Otherwise we spent our free time playing cards or dice (or burnt monopoly) or watched movies and on the weekends we went snowboarding.
The word that I think describes Ole best is wholesome. He is incredibly kind and loving, always looking out for everybody around him. The word that I think describes my stay at Ole's best is adventurous, but I think I won't elaborate on this.
Kind regards and nothing but love for you.

I had the opportunity to stay with Ole for two weeks at his summer cabin in the mountains near Vinstra. I had a lovely time there helping out with the restoration work, playing card games, and skiing in the surrounding area.
Most of the work was focused on renovating the old summer farm of Ole's family, which included putting in new floors and
… read more demolishing the old walls. This kind of work was sort of new to me, but Ole managed to help me out with working with the different tools and learning how to tackle a renovation like he was doing. It was very educational.
After working hours, we played all sorts of card games or watched series and movies. When the opportunity was there during my free time I went on different ski trips. The ski tracks started right in front of the door, which was amazing. The surrounding area was gorgeous and one I will not forget.
I stayed with Ole during Easter, and it was very hospitable of him and his family to involve me in their Easter traditions and activities.
Living kind of remotely in the mountains can have its difficulties and challenges, but it was for sure worth it to be in such an amazing environment and with a very kind and open host.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

We have been so lucky to host the Amazing Amy. She stayed at our place over a period of several months. With a farm follows alot of wierd and hard tasks which isn't always the funniest, but this awesome Amy took it all with a great smile. She did not give up until work was finished with a perfect result. She also worked way over her expected

Amy is always in a good humour and takes initiative doing fun things like snowboarding, skiing, hiking, swimming and more. Amy came to help out at the farm as a worker, and at the time of departure, she has charmed us all and has absolutely became a part of the family.
Amy gets our very best recommendation and we wish her the best of luck when she now goes off exploring the rest of the world.
You're always welcome back here at your other family. :))

I spent three months nearly with Ole and the family, I spent my birthday, Christmas and New Year's here, they really welcomed me into the family and i enjoyed all the celebrations with them. I even got a surprise Birthday party and sushi made by Bente. Originally I was here to help his sister (Susanne) but then I was working more for Ole as well

Thank you so much to Bente, Ole, BG, Susanne, Åmund, Østen. I look forward to visiting you all again soon!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

A super welcoming, friendly family! Lots of laughing, the best you could ask for. So much good food amongst some beautiful, soul fuelling scenery. The cows were a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing the finished house xx
