The Experience

In our hostel that is also the basecamp of our NGO, we have a lot of international projects about nonformal education but as well some construction projects throughout the year. One of our mentors for some of those project is an amazing elderly lady from Iceland that is in the process of restoring her cabin on our properties. She has some health issues and needs some help in making floors, some furniture, decoration and all kinds of nice things.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hostel. Jørgen and Anni were fantastic, they were both very welcoming and supportive, and we immediately felt included in the beautiful community they have built. We met so many cool, interesting people during our stay, and got to take part in a variety of activities. We would highly recommend the hostel to any volunteers travelling through Norway, and we are very much looking forward to spending more time there in the future!

My friend and I volunteered at the hostel for 3 weeks and honestly was one of the most wholesome three weeks. Both the hosts Anika and Jorgen were the best and they are so so nice and chill. All the people that were also volunteering there were great people. Highly recommend here for other volunteers :)
