    Descripción

    This is a lighthouse on a small island in the Arctic part of Norway. The lighthouse premises are the only buildings on the island. Elena and Frode are your hosts at the lighthouse. Frode is a carpenter and Elena takes care of the admin and leads the activities in the kitchen. They welcome strong and experienced volunteers who are ready to spend a 2 - 3 months at this unique place in the Arctic north.

    This is a non-profit organization in the process of turning the lighthouse into a special guest place. We are off grid and self sufficient with water, energy & boat transport.

    Volunteers staying here will first of all learn how it is to be living off grid; as we are producing our own energy and collecting rainwater. We have some water flush toilets and some dry toilets. We need to go to the mainland to do our shopping and get rid of our garbage, even if we compost & recycle as much as possible. We have our own boat, handled by Elena or Frode, who go out at sea in most weather, but prefer to avoid the real storm.

    We are the only persons living on the island, so we have quite a lot of space, but we are sharing a limited house space so you'll learn to be considerate and to keep the spaces clean.

    Elena & Frode are the only the only Norwegians and fellow volunteers normally come from all around the world.

    Some keywords; the sea, the changing weather, the constant change of light through long summer nights and short winter days, various fish types, always fresh sea weed, wood collection, wood burning all winter through, Northern lights, midnight sun - and all the shades of light in between. Coastal history & culture going hundreds of years back. And even today; weather, season and tides needs to be coordinated with many activities at the lighthouse island.

    Life here takes more time to live than in an ordinary society; particularly because many things have to be done the old fashion manual way. The boat transport of goods, wood and food adds to this. Also, be prepared that it demands a certain amount of energy to get used to life and routines here. We recommend that you don't bring important projects with deadlines on the top of the volunteer work.

    Currently we need handy persons to help us with gardening, landscaping, painting and carpentry. We also need help making food for the big lighthouse family. Chef or cook experience is warmly welcome if you want to develop your knowledge in seaweed, fresh fish and local produce from the island and the Arctic Ocean. Proven experience with photography, photo editing and video editing would be great.
    Life here is physically quite demanding, so we do need persons who are fit and enjoy an active life. Volunteers coming here need to be interested in a self sustainable life at the edge of the ordinary comfort zone. We are looking for responsible persons. It is necessary that you respect the physical facilities made available to you and do your daily and weekly share of cleaning - for respect of yourself, the house and the others.
    Please write to us and describe any experience you may have relating to one of the tasks mentioned above. Also inform about the period you are available. Please DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE MENTIONED SKILLS that we are looking for.
    Depending on how long you are staying, we do apply a TRIAL PERIOD of 2 weeks, for every volunteer coming to the island. This will allow both parties to end the cooperation if things do not work out as desired.
    Please check the availability on our calendar, we keep it up to date.

    Our volunteers share a small house by the sea which used to be a boathouse. Now it is pretty much as an old "Rorbu" or fisherman's cottage. It has a nice living room, a small bathroom and a kitchenette on the ground floor; the first floor is sectioned into 4 separate sleeping spaces.

    We normally share lunch together in the lighthouse keepers' house; breakfast and dinner is often made in the boathouse. Our food is home-made and sound. We do use local and fresh fish quite often, sometimes also meat. We make our own bread & jam and are experimenting with seaweed.

    Due to our off grid location in the Arctic and our daily routines WE CANNOT ACCEPT VOLUNTEERS WITH SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS (i.e. vegans, different allergies & intolerance, etc).

    When applying please consider the travel expenses before contacting us! The cheapest way to come here is normally with plane from Oslo (Gardermoen) to Harstad/Narvik (Evenes). Check out the website for Norwegian or SAS. On an ordinary week day the airport shuttle bus to Sortland town is coordinating with flights if you're not arriving too late. Then bus from Sortland to Steine in Bø where you're picked up by boat. The absolute best is to start early from Oslo, otherwise you'll arrive too late to reach the poor bus connections!
    ALSO: REMEMBER TO SIGN UP FOR A TRAVEL & HEALTH INSURANCE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN!
