Our family home

Life here is full of energy, kindness and a little chaos, in the best way. We are a big inclusive family living between fjords and mountains in Ørsta. Surrounded by incredible nature and lots of animals. You will experience everyday life in Norway from the inside, with real people, real stories and plenty of laughter.

You will get a private room, good food and a genuine place in our home. It is not a 'free stay', your help really matters, and in return we will make sure you feel appreciated and included. When the work is done, you will have time to explore, hike, swim or just relax and enjoy the peace of rural Norway. if you like a lively, welcoming home where every day is a bit different, this is the place for you.

We are a Dutch-German family with 6 kids (the oldest just moved out to study), several cats (including some fosters from animal welfare), a dog and a horse. Life here can be busy, noisy and full of movement but also full of warmth, humor and acceptance.

We treat our volunteers as part of the family while respecting their need for space and privacy. You will always have your own room and plenty of time to yourself but you are also welcome to join our meals, chats or family outings.

We value honesty, kindness and open communication. If something doesn't feel right, we talk about it. You will be treated with respect, supported when you need it and appreciated for the help yougive. We do not expect perfection, just someone who shows up, helps out and enjoys being part of our lively, loving chaos.
