Yörick is a one of a kind person, I have never met anyone like him before. We had many interesting, honest and fun conversations and even more laughs. Really enjoyed to hear Yöricks view on things. He gave me the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. He stayed in Staubø for about 4 weeks.
He worked his hours, and did his tasks.

MacLeod is one of those personer who have an old soul in a young body. A warm and calm person with a sofisticated humour. Super smart and he just knew things no one else does.
He was into Ornithology, and I learned so much about birds during his stay🦅

Tove-Mari was an excellent, warm, and welcoming host! I immediately felt at home in Norway, a place I had never been before. Rove is incredibly smart and creative, and not afraid to get her hands dirty. She brought me on a couple of hikes on my first days in Norway to help me get acclimated before the work started, and we finished up my time there

I was so lucky to have wouter as a workawayer for one week. I was not much home during that week, but he did a lot of work without me asking. And he just knew what needed to be done.
Wouter also makes desisious food, was so wonderful to have a chief in the house.
He is a very kind, fun, calm and reflected person.. So easy to have conversations

I stayed with Tove-Mari for about a week, on my way back to Belgium from the Lofoten.
She was very open, and extremely hospitable. Communication on my part was very last-minute, but she was extremely happy to host and did so in an extremely pleasing way; it truly felt like a home. She opened the doors to her charming home, and made sure I felt

As described, help was needed inside and outside - and Tove was very flexible in the tasks I took upon myself and the timing I followed in finishing them.
Thanks once again for everything Tove-Mari, it was lovely meeting you :-)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

It's lovely to live close to the sea. You can just grab the Supboard and walk to the sea without planning it a long way ahead
4 minutes walk from my garden there is a small lake, wher you can take a swim or use the sup board or kayaks.

Julia is one of the most kind and Caring persons I ever met. But also "Still water has the deepest ground" person. She is a young girl with a very wise old woman inside❤️ In her 5 weeks stay she was almost my personal advisor.
She has bin living on a farm and is a very kreative, strong and practical skilled woman. She automaticly know how to

Her 5 week stay went so fast. It was soooo nice to have her around. She have a calming effect on her surroundings. Just lower the shoulders and breath kind of effect. At the same time we had so much laughter and fun 🥰 It was an empty space when she left.
Alway welcome back✨️✨️

Matthew is a star in human form. He has this contagious shine, and when he is around people start to sparkle.
Despite his brief stay, it was very effective. He got things done.
Matthew just know all the practical things and how everything works. He is absolutely worthy of the "handyman" lable.

Laure is a kind, warm and a bit quiet woman. But she also have a strong heart and she can stand her ground.
We had so many deep and interresting talks. I admire her strength and her calmness 🤗
Workwise I think we have a bit different tempo. But Laure needs to be mindfull in her way of things.

It was a very special experience to stay at Tove's place. She was very hospitable and went to great length to make me feel at home. Especially since I had some health issues with my digestion when I arrived, she made sure to provide me what I needed to get better.
The house is nice and has a nice energy. In the evenings when Tove was home, we went

Tove is a blending of sensitivity and strength, like you rarely get to see.
Now what has been a bit challenging for me, is that I am more of a slow and mindful type, while Tove is more of the energetic and lively type. She has been doing efforts to adjust to me, and I really appreciate that, though. I guess it is all about accepting others as they are, and respecting the differences.
I have enjoyed doing the painting, and the beautiful nature surrounding the house (lakes, seaside, magical forest)
Thank you Tove for giving me space to recover from past unpleasant experiences and for your loving heart.
I'll definitely remember these days spent with Tove!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I had the pleasure to spend 2,5 weeks at Tove´s place😄.
Together with two other workawayers we cleaned and painted a part of her house. In our free time Tove made sure we went on all kinds of adventures like evening hikes, kayaking (which is harder than i thought😂) and even a trip to a off grid cabin🙏.
We had great talks about spirituality and

So sorry for the late feedback!
We had the best stay with Tove (and the other workawayers: Helena and Kathi).
We were greeted with the most welcoming attitude and warmth, and we felt very at home from the very first moment.
The tasks were manageable and fun!
On our free time Tove showed us a lot of great and adventurous things to do: kayaking,
