We stayed at Bente's for 2 weeks during the month of May 2024. It was our first Workaway and we had a very pleasant stay. Bente is really kind, attentive, curious, we had interesting exchanges although our English is not perfect. This allowed us to better understand Norwegian culture such as the functioning of universities and politics as well as
… read more cultural celebration (like Constitution Day). In addition, we discovered Norwegian dishes such as fishcakes (fiskekaker) or broccoli salad, a delight! Bente also gave us lots of advice on things to visit in the region.
The missions carried out were interesting and often outdoors (gardening, DIY, cleaning with a pressure washer, oiling the mast of a boat, etc.). The location of her house is ideal with the view of the fjord, it’s truly magnificent! In addition, we had the opportunity to go on several hikes nearby and Bente also lent us her kanu to visit the fjord. We recommend doing a workaway with Bente without hesitation and we thank her again for welcoming us!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
Io e mio marito abbiamo trascorso due settimane ad agosto 2024 nel bellissimo cottage di Bente.
E'stata la prima esperienza con work away e speriamo non sia l'ultima.
Avevamo una camera ed un bagno tutti per noi nel suo cottage, Bente ci ha fatto sentire da subito come a casa, lei è una super donna: ex docente all'università di Volda ora si occupa
… read more principalmente di gestire la sua casa sul fiordo. Iniziavamo la mattina alle 9 ed ogni giorno facevamo qualcosa di diverso:tagliato gli alberi giovani che crescendo avrebbero fatto ombra al suo orto, tagliata tutta l'erba dell'immenso giardino, tagliata un po' di legna per l'inverno, raccolto ribes ed altri frutti del suo orto, ripulito dalle erbacce e raccolte le alghe per fertilizzare il terreno..... il lavoro non era mai troppo o troppo pesante, noi eravamo in due e quindi riuscivamo a fare tutto.
La cosa più dura è forse stato lavorare sotto la pioggia, sì perché per tutte e due le settimane trascorse da Bente ha sempre piovuto: portati dei buoni stivali indispensabili ed una giacca impermeabile!!
Il nostro soggiorno è stato fantastico: mio marito ama pescare ed ogni momento libero lo passava sul pontile a pescare sgombri, io a volte pescavo con lui o altrimenti mi leggevo un buon libro.
Sabato e domenica erano liberi, avrei tanto voluto chiedere in prestito a Bente la canoa per andare sul fiordo e le biciclette per fare un giro, ma purtroppo la continua pioggia non ci ha permesso di approfittare di ciò. Ringraziamo però di cuore Bente ed il suo compagno Pal che più di una volta ci hanno portato in giro in auto. la gita più bella è stata nella montagna dietro il cottage, una natura straordinaria e abbiamo raccolto i funghi che la sera abbiamo cucinato.
La sera cenavamo sempre assieme e ringraziamo Bente di averci fatto assaggiare tanti piatti tipici norvegesi e ci scusiamo se alcune volte abbiamo preso possesso noi della cucina,ma volevamo farvi assaggiare dei piatti italiani come le lasagne e volevamo essere d'aiuto nel preparare la cena.
Non ringrazieremo mai abbastanza Bente per averci accolto a casa sua e per averci mostrato la sua terra del cuore....sei una donna forte e straordinaria.

It was my first experience as a workawayer in Norway. Bente and Pål made me feel very warm, I felt really welcomed into the family and really enjoyed my time with them.
I caught a lot of fish, I could use the bike and so I was able to do some hiking tours not only in the surroundings. It was really fantastic!
Because I am learning Norwegian, I

For me, the time was a huge enrichment not only linguistically but also interpersonally and culturally, and I think of it very often and fondly. I hope to see you again next year!!! :-)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

We had an amazing stay at Bente's farm !
Bente and Pål welcomed us so warmly, they made us feel at home. The house is beautiful and we could enjoy the view of the fjord everyday !
We had great discussions and time with Bente and Pål at the dinner, they are curious and kind people, also thank you Bente for the very good meals ! ;)
We worked in the
… read more garden (digging potatoes, moving peppermint...) and we made wood work to restore a piece of a boat. We could enjoy the garden while working ! During the week-end, we did a marvellous hike near the house, on the recommandation of Pål !
We totally recommand Bente's house for people who seek calm, nature and like to work outside or with the wood !
Thank you again Bente and Pål, and see you next years maybe ! :)))Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Excellent first experience at Bente farm. Bente and Pal are very kind and live in the charming house with an amazing view on a fjord. The house is really confortable and Bente is a very good cooker. The area is really beautiful and you can hike easily. I highly recommend this place .

I had four great weeks at Bente's place and wished I could have stayed longer! What a beautiful, cozy home and kind host! Bente is full of energy and has many interesting thoughts and ideas. The arrangements before arrival were very spontaneous, but everything worked out just fine. I recommend future volunteers to take the bus from Oslo to
… read more Stryn/Volda (~8h), as there is some beautiful scenery on the way!
The work was not too difficult but always fun, especially with the two fellow volunteers working there as well and we did a maximum of around 4h work per day. Some of the things we did included chopping down trees and making firewood, pruning the apple trees, making a 'Hügelbeet', collecting seaweed for Bente's plant beds, removing turf from the rock outside the house, tearing down part of her boathouse, giving the kitchen a thorough clean, sewing curtains and much more. So every day was unique and varied. We also helped out her very kind neighbours with some pruning, weeding and tree chopping and got to use their speedy kayak in return.
Bente was very busy with work and various trips, but she was always warm, welcoming, open for conversations and ideas and very appreciative of the work we did. She lent us her car sometimes and even took us to some ski tracks in the mountains so we could do some cross-country skiing. There is also a skiresort for downhill skiing nearby. Otherwise, we had plenty of time to spend on the fjord, going fishing, canoeing and kayaking - Bente has all the gear. We also had plenty of time to ourseves to do uni work.
We will miss bathing in the fjord and watching the porpoises and eagle go by. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again some time! 🦅🐬🌷Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

We had very pleasant stay at Bente's lovely farm. We enjoyed all the work we had to do and the rooms we were provided with were nice and comfy. Our favorite meal in the day was dinner -not just because of Bente's cooking skills but also because of the wholesome talks we had with Pål and her. Every week was filled something new and interesting, so
… read more we never got bored. Pål and Bente are kind and open-minded people who made our first workaway experience a good memory! :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

We had a lovely stay at Bente's house. The place is nice with the view and there is a lot to handle like hikes, biking or boating.
Bente is an angel. Pål her companion was also very kind to us. She gave us various and possible tasks to carry out (Painting, firewood works, tidying, gardening, wood cutting, etc..)
She cooked very nice meals on
… read more evenings. So we really wanted to work for her and we did our best. It was a good culture exchange ; we could have nice conversations and even sometimes with a glass of wine. She let us drive her car during a weekend, we hope we were grateful enough washing it !
It was a little sad to say goodby when we left. They have been invited as workaway guests to our future house we don't have yet. 😉😄😊🙂
Takk for oss !Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
