I stayed with Sonja and Pætur during the summer and I cannot be more delighted with the time I spent with this wonderful family. I came as a first-time workawayer and I think I was very lucky to have met them. We spent most of the time together, they showed me these beautiful islands around and finally I had lot of fun with them during my stay.… read more

I had the greatest time staying with Sonja and Petur! I stayed with them, and another workawayer I didn't know yet, for only 2 weeks. It was my very first workaway experience and I was there to unwind after exams which definitely worked out on these stunning, remote and quite islands and learn more about the culture and the economy of the islands… read more and I must say they explained me so many things.
The things I had to do were mostly quite easy and light tasks. They were selling a house so some cleaning here and there if people were coming to see the house. Doing the laundry, the dishes, tidying up some rooms, mowing the lawn or weeding. In the new house I trimmed a big hedge so they could uproot them easily later, dug out stones. Furthermore, a lot of shelves, picture frames and other things had to be hung up. Closets had to be tidied up, beds installed, some cleaning as well, ... basically most things that moving includes.
Sonja is very talkative, always laughing and making jokes, also she looooves some funny videos or memes and showing them. Besides, she is a master knitter and never skips tea-time with some biscuits or some homemade cake from time to time. Petur is also very funny and a real jokester, he often cooked us some great dinners and he's a great fisher. I was lucky being able to join them on a fishing trip when it was less windy in September. They also took the time to show me some parts of the island's most breath-taking spots which required some little roadtrips.
Sonja's family is very sweet, we didn't spend that much time with them but I can reassure you that they are lovely people. Also, I met a lot of Sonja's amazing and warm-hearted friends and family. Almost every day there is someone visiting or passing by to help out, to say hi or for some tea.
I also had plenty of time for myself to explore (the area around) Torshavn when Sonja and Petur were at work. I went for a couple of hikes and I saw the most amazing sights, I can't describe how beautiful it was, you have to see this for yourself.
Sonja also has a lovely book in which all her workawayers write before they leave and this is a message for them: Hi there! Thank you again for everything, I'm very grateful for this opportunity and I tried to sum up everyting in the guestbook but I probably forgot to mention a lot of things, but that's fine as long as you know that I loved meeting such generous and welcoming people and community.
Staying with them was a joy and pleasure I can recommend everyone!

If you are traveling to Faroe islands, this is a place for you. Even if you are traveling to some other destination - cancel it and visit Sonja and her family instead. It's been my third workaway and for me this experience is the whole point of what workaway is about. Sonja is the most amazing and big hearted woman with lots of love to share. She… read more

Sonja and her family took us in as apart of her own family from day one. She generously toured us around the islands, had dinners with her family, celebrated local traditions and even had a few family game nights. Such a loving family we were truly fortunate to end up in her house! Thank you for all the love and generosity :heart:

Dan has been with us for 3.5 weeks. Dan is a smiling and happy young man. He helped with cleaning and laundry. And he also helped to paint the house. He also had a Israeli evening with Israeli food and an exciting quiz about Israel, where he showed his good skills as a teacher :blush: Alt tað besta, Dan :slight_smile:

This was my first time as a workawayer, and of course before I arrived I had natural concerns as a beginner, but all of this was forgotten once I entered this amazing family’s life!

I was lucky to spend my time with Sonja, Petur, Lív, Ingi, Jan and Bogi for 3.5 weeks that I will probably not forget.
No words will manage to express my gratitude… read more

This was my first time being workawayer and my experience staying with them has been incredibly awesome. Sonja and her family treated me as part of their own, included me in almost all family activities (board games,picnic,fishing,road trip..).
