We are interested in 1 or 2 persons, if you are a family of more then 2 persons you are welcome to take contact, if two persons you need to share the bedroom. If a family we have some other possibility.

The house is around 400 square meters in 3 floor. 1st floor has 1 bedrooms toilet/bath. Garage++

2nd floor is the main floor, 2 bedrooms, office, kitchen, living room and toilet/bath.

3rd floor 4 bedrooms, living room, office, toilet/bath.

The surroundings are good and quiet.

We live a 200 meter from the sea and we have pleasure equipment for being on the sea and in the sea.

I, Rigmor is vice principal for the public school in Vestmanna and Jens is a teacher, self employed and during freetime Captain of various RIB-boats sailing around the Faroe Islands.

And our last experience is that we have a sailing yacht that we hopefully will sail a lot with.

Because we are a very open family there can be a lot of guests visiting our home.

The tasks will change a little bit depending on what time of year you will stay.

If you feel like "I can't do that or that" don't hesitate to tell us what you can do, there is only one thing that is very important "the driving licence" for a normal car, but it is not a must.

The age of our WorkAwayer is important 25+ years

This is because of our daily task that changes a lot during the year.
Helping with the garden is mostly cutting grass.

Other: Helping Jens with his work.

All the jobs will be fitted for the person's skills.

It took me a little time to digest all the information and experiences I have had with the family and on the islands. I learned a lot about the people there, the nature and history because Jens and Rigmor can tell a lot about it (and are open about it) and also give you numerous tips and information of what to do and where to go. The nature is… read more

This is my first workaway experience and I had such a memorable time with Jens and Rigmor and the family. They had a simple list of household chores to complete and i was given alot of freedom to decide how and when i want to do most of the chores. It would be good to have a proactive attitude and i could always find something interesting to do or… read more

I've just completed my first ever workaway with this family and I can honestly say I had a amazing time. At first I was very nervous as I've never stayed in someone else's house like this before but they were all extremely welcoming that I didn't need to worry.

The jobs were easy and straightforward. Cleaning the house, loading the dishwasher,… read more

Unfortunately we could only spend a little time with Rigmor and his family, but we really would have loved being with them for a long time.
Rigmor and his family are fantastic people, really open-minded. It is important for them to understand each person's culture, and you really feel it.
It was really nice to share some moments with them and with… read more

This family is one of the most uncomplicated and easy-going I have experienced, even for the laid-back Scandinavian standard that I know!

My Workaway tasks included to clean up around the kitchen and living room daily, do the laundry and walk Alex the dog. On top of that there will be occasional grocery shopping, driving family members to work or… read more

Staying with Rigmor and Jens was a great experience and insight into Faroe island culture and life - particularly appreciated was the introduction to the traditional "grind" (hunt), local food, Faroese music and trekking in the surrounding beautiful islands. Our hosts were very flexible, easy-going and extremely generous as well ! Thank you both… read more

Rigmor and Jens are easily some of the nicest people I've ever met. Their family is warm, welcoming, outgoing, flexible with schedules, and understanding. They gave us information on how to get where we wanted to go and even invited us onto trips (some of which included a crazy fun speedboat!). The work was not too difficult, especially if you… read more

Meeting this Faroe family was totally enriching for me. I could see from within their lifestyle, feel the peace of vestmanna, visit the amazing islands, know their typical food...
All the family behaved with me very good, and they helped and understood me more than they should. So... thousands of thanks. I will never forget.

A perfect workaway coffee was ready in the morning :)

You did not need to tell him what to do after a time he know the "dailys" and did much more then we could expect from the "contract" of workaway.

To have them as my first experience with workaway was the best choice I could have make. They are very open and let me stay in their house even though they had to leave for a few days.

Everything was great they did also do things "by them self" that we did not ask them to do.
A very good experience.

The most welcoming and generous family I have ever been hosted. I ended up here "by mistake" as all Faroese families had workawayers for the period I stayed in that beautiful country.
