I Stayed a bit more than two months and a half so i had the time to discover everybody ! Ella is devoted and kind she looked after me and took care of everybody in the house, she's
… read more a force and she became a very good friend ! Hafdis is strong and know so much, she is fun and i enjoyed myself so much being with her ! i hope that my work there was good and that they enjoyed having me as much as i did ! Böddi who can look quiet at first is a funny guy he loved teaching me and share all is knowledge.

Sadly due to personal health reasons, I had to make the difficult decision to go back home and focus on my health as I am currently not well enough to volunteer. Although only having spent two days on the farm, this family really welcomed me into their household with open arms. They were very understanding with my situation, never forced me to do
… read more anything I was uncomfortable or out of my limits. They treated me ever so kindly. Their homemade food was out of this world! some of the best meals I´ve ever had. The experience although was very short made me feel that I learnt a lot from their way of life, will never forget all the interesting enlightening conversations I had with Hafdis and her mother Ella. This family is so hard working, all the animals are such a delight, soul healing environment. Varmahlíð really left a special place in my heart and soul. I felt devasted to have left this family although it was for the best for both sides. I was very emotional, tearful and well I can only imagine how it must be for a volunteer having been there a longer time. I would love to be able to return back and give all my 1000% help and dedication once I am healthy again. Tak fyrir &bég vona að sjá ykkur öll seinna <3 <3 <3

Had a fabulous time last August on the farm. The weather and scenery was lovely. I did some baking and cooking, domestic duties and painted outside with another workaway. The hosts were very welcoming. It was hard work but was rewarded with some fantastic opportunities to experience other things away from the farm. I will be going back.

It’s my first workaway experience in a farm and I have to say that was fantastic.. way beyond my expectations!!
I was there for 5 weeks in August/September. Their day usually starts at around 8am. Till 9am they finish their morning routine in the farm. Everyone comes back to the house for a coffee break. Then we decide what to do for the day.
… read more Everyday can be different. You can also be initiative and come up with your own ideas ;). Around 12 we have lunch together, which is one of my favorite moments during my stay. Ella is an amazing cook. For 5 weeks I had everyday different lunch, delicious and well prepared. They eat lots of meat: lamb, beef, horsemeat and fish as well. Sometimes there’s a nap after lunch. Sometimes they just go back to work directly. About 4pm there’s another coffee break and dinner is usually a lighter meal at around 8pm.
The whole family is very kind and hardworking.
They understand very well the concept of volunteering, which means that they never forced me to do anything but rather asked what I can do/would like to do. If you are interested and motivated, there are a lot of things waiting for you to try out. How? Very simple: just ask :) It might not happen immediately but they always keep in mind.
Don’t be confused when you ask them what to do the next day and they can’t tell you. Because their work is generally based on the weather! Since Iceland has a variable weather, one can hardly rely on the weather from the night before. :)
If you have a drivers license you can explore the area yourself cause they have a spare car that you can use. I was with another workawayer at the same time so we took a day off to Drangey and Hófsos. We also went rafting and kayaking which were both super cool experience! In addition, Hafdís brought us on a road trip till Akureyri and Böddi drove us to the highland as well.
There are a lot more to tell but I don’t want to spoil you and you might want to discover something by yourself. ;)
I can’t stop sharing my experience and feelings about the time in Iceland, particularly in Brúnastaðir. Every moment is precious and unforgettable. It’s engraved in my brain and dissolved in my blood. I miss there so much that sometimes I woke up during the night with tears on my face. It was for me a life changing experience. I really appreciate the family offering me this opportunity.
Hope to see you again very soon! Takk fyrir og sakna þín sárt.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
