I’m really grateful I had the opportunity to have my first worldpackers experience with Solveig! I felt very welcomed and had the chance to learn a lot about running a business. The location is quite remote, but bikes are available and it was nice to explore the surrounding area. It’s a great place to connect with nature. The work is simple and varies depending on what is needed. Solveig is very hardworking and busy a lot of the time. She’s very kind, understanding and flexible with working times. I recommend communicating clearly, as she is always open to helping. Definitely recommend! :)

I've had a wonderful first volunteering time with Solveig at her glamping place.
I learned so much than just what was written on the description page. Checking guest in and out, handiwork, cooking, setting a sauna up and much more.
Concerning the hours of work, Solveig is very comprehensive. If she needs you to work at a specific time of the day she'll ask you if it's ok. She's really understanding, I could planned my days, she was ok with me working early in the morning so I had the afternoon free to discover the surroundings.
Communication is key !!

Life in Solveig's universe is def an experience to remember and learn from. Job is easy. Ambience and the camping are very pleasant. A massive natural sanctuary for private use. Communication and proactivity are key. The host is very busy, so you need to be able to work on your own once you know the drill without waiting for directions all the time. When you're there you become family automatically. So if you're a tourist looking for free food and accomodation this won't be your place. In short: Great place, family atmosphere and the camping overload. Thank you Miss S.

I had a really nice time at Solveig's home. She is very caring and always tries her best to make you feel comfortable and at home. She took us on trips and regularly asked about our needs. Her son, Vikingur, is very active and talkative, and it's fun to work with him. The household tends to be chaotic, and plans change frequently, which can sometimes be a bit stressful or can cause some confusion. I would recommend being open and flexible and maintaining clear communication.

My stay with Vikingur and Solveig was a very memorable one, that taught me a lot! Solveig is kindhearted and does everything to make you feel at home and Vikingur is a sweet and active child. In general, I would recommend communicating clearly with Solveig, she is very open to other opinions and critisms, should you have any. Living with Solveig and Vikingur can be very chaotic, so you should definitely be fine with that it you want to stay, but it's also always very fun! The work is also very manageable, as it mostly consist of looking after Vikingur.

This was my first trip with Worldpackers and I'm really happy I could experience it with Solveig and Víkingur. In general, the work was not difficult and we could always work things out. Most of the time I was taking care of Víkingur and sometimes helping with the glam camping and cleaning the house. Solveig is very kind, caring and full of energy and she always wants you to feel happy and at home. Her son Víkingur is active, curious and talkative, so spending time with him is definitely easy and fun. I would recommend other volunteers to be proactive and not afraid to ask about anything.

We had a wonderful experience at the campsite! Solveig is kind and always wants to make you feel at home. Vikingur is such a sweet child. The place is truly special to take a break from the cities and get lost a little in nature. It's a big space with lots of spots to do different activities. At times the responsibilities could be a bit clearer, but with good communication everything works out very well! I was sick for a few days and Solveig helped me with medicine and let me rest. I'm very grateful for that. The other volunteers were also very kind and amazing people I will always remember!

The camping experience was lovely. Solveig is kind and positive, her child is super sweet and sociable. Tasks included gardening, cleaning, and making beds in the tents. I'd recommend being proactive and clear about work hours, since the owner can get busy. Good communication is key. Overall, a beautiful experience!♥️

I really enjoyed my time here overall. My main task was taking care of the son, which was a lot of fun as he is very curious and it was great spending time with him. The house is surrounded by beautiful nature, with lakes nearby, which I really enjoyed. Solveig is very kind and a good-hearted person, even though she is often busy and things can be a bit chaotic at times. All in all, it was a good first volunteering experience for me.

This was my first volunteering experience, and I'm so glad that I could stay with Solveig and Vikingur. I had the best time! My main task was looking after Vikingur when she had work, and I enjoyed spending time with him. I helped with some basic household tasks, but nothing extra. Sometimes I cooked meals for us. I felt really welcomed, she fulfilled all my needs, took us to the beach and safaripark which was perfect. The house needed a bit organising and cleaning, but everything else was good. I hope I'll get to see them again, because they definitely have a special place in my heart.
