This was my first time using workaway and i ended up at Nina and Björn's farm for 6 monts. I went there for the winter season on purpose, and i have to say that it was a really good experience overall. The farm is quite big and it has a lot of animals. So here are my thought's on the farm. If you want to work with animals this is the perfect place… read more

Jonathan is a very nice person to work with and he did always his best, which was very solid and good word results. He is a very solid carpenter and always in good mood and a smily face. I can really recommend him very much as a workawayer and he is always welcome to us again.

I stayed in the Zoo for three and a half months, from the middle of October until the end of January. It was my first workaway experience, so I was really nervous before I came here. But I had a really nice time with Nina and Bjorn. We were four workaways, so the work was pretty easy as soon we got some routine. Before we often worked more hours.… read more But we had a great time together and it was the beginning of some very good friendships.

Nina will sometimes drive you a bit crazy when it comes to the farm work, but it gets better once she gets to know you.
Bjorn and Sara have a good sence of humor and there is always something to laugh about at the dinner table. Also Bjorn´s cooking is really amazing and the only problem was that I always ate way to much and sometimes I was laying in my bed with cramps in my stomach. Before I came here I never ate fish, but when I tasted it I could barely stop.

The surroundings are so beautiful, there are many mountains to climb and a Fjord 10 minutes walking distance. In the winter you will be able to see the beautiful Northern Lights.

The accomodation is allright. There are three rooms for the workaways in a little house on the farm and a bathroom with shower. The bathroom you will have to share with the people who own the horses. This was a bit annoying sometime.
And I shouldn´t forget about the waterpump, which can wake up a sleeping bear ;)
There is wifi in your house but it is really shitty
You also have an own kitchen, it is located over the stable. There you can find everything you need for cooking and in the fridge is always food. The wifi in the kitchen is pretty good.

The horse owners are really nice people and if you ask them you might be able to ride one of the horses someday. Most of the horses are really nice as well, accept Armani (Saras horse) he can be a real shitbag. My favourits were Wenus and Dusty, they were always up for some cuddling. I got really attached to them and I really miss them.

Every now and then you will see Sierra (Bjorns dog) who is just the sweetest dog. Pepsi is the dog of Sara who is pretty annoying sometimes, I guess the apple doesn´t fall far from the tree ;)
And I shouldn´t forget about Turbo, the most dangerous mouse trap on the farm. He lives in your kitchen and will always try to sneak in your room. But he is a really nice cat who loves to cuddle.

When I had a day off I often went to Tromso, you can either go with the bus or drive with Nina and Bjorn. It is a lovely city with a big shopping center and many museums.

There is only one thing I really missed. I didn´t get too much cultural exchange, since I only spent time with the family during the dinner.

But all together I am really happy with my stay in the Zoo and I can recommend if you want to stay there.

I hope to come back someday and see you all again.

I spent just under 4 months in this beautiful place while everywhere else was in Lockdown. Nina and Bjorn were friendly and staying over Christmas we all celebrated together with a delicious meal and festivities. Morning and evening I looked after the animals but had 2 days off to explore the surrounding countryside and also go into Tromso. It was… read more

My 5 month stay was the first experience with Workaway for me. Nina, Sara and Bjørn make their best to let you feel like at home. The darkness was new to me, but definitely no problem to live there. We had some hard snow shovelling days, but I would have expected more of these to be honest. The workers get an own kitchen where you eat breakfast… read more

Thank you very much for everything Nina and Bjorn.
You'll love to work there if you definitely like to be with animals and quiet place.

My 3 month-stay in here has been a great cultural experience. Nina, her husband Bjorn and her daughter Sara are a really nice family, and they made me feel at home as soon as I arrived. The job at the farm is quite intense, but if you love animals and working outside, you will surely enjoy working on the farm. Moreover, the area is very nice,… read more

You will probably never eat better. Bjorn's cooking skills will blow you away. And you will taste food that you just can't everywhere else in the world.

I lived and helped in the Zoo for 5 months. And during this time I found it all: friendship, love, thrill, some scares... And I wish I will live something like that soon again.

Nina, Bjorn and… read more

Wonderful place!
First you need some time to get used to work routine and darkness of the polar night but after that you notice all the beautiful aspects of this place. Great family atmosphere, interesting animals and people, aurora borealis, ...beautiful location between mountains and seas.

I spent a month here as part of my first workaway. To summarise, it was excellent! Nina and the whole family are incredibly welcoming, and are fair but firm in terms of the work. No one will be there to hold your hand, but Nina and Bjørn were always happy to give advice and I learned a lot about the running of a zoo and stables! I had my own… read more

Perfect place to volunteer...
I worked in the zoo one month and a half this winter (october-december) with two other super nice workers, Lubos and Tereza.
The location is wonderful, with a stunning view over the bay and the mountains all around. Many little beaches near around, many hills to climb if you like hiking!! And the perfect place to… read more

It was my first workaway experience and it definitely more than expected !
