I've had a beautiful time on the farm! At first I was worried because this was my first time volunteering but it was a lot better than I expected!! The job the first days seemed tough but it gets waaay easier as the days go by. And so rewarding!! I used to work taking care of all the animals in the farm and cleaning all their places. Maybe the toughest work was cleaning the igloos because you have to carry a backpack with water and it can be a bit heavy, but not impossible at all hahaha. Kari-Anne and Geir, thanks for the experience!! I'll miss the dinners with you so so much🫶🏼

I had a wonderful stay on the alpaca farm! I felt incredibly welcomed from the very start and the hosts are exceptionally kind people who always made sure i had everything i needed. The work was very interesting and enjoyable, the tasks were not difficult and i learned a lot about alpacas. Everything was exactly as we agreed upon beforehand, which made the whole experience very smooth and pleasant. The accommodation was a lovely and cozy house with a beautiful view that i will definitely miss. It was a very wonderful experience that i would definitely recommend!

This was our first Workaway experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better host! Kari-Anne and Geir welcomed us warmly to their beautiful alpaca farm, where we had our own private house with an amazing view. The work was enjoyable and manageable: feeding and cleaning the animals, caring for chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs, cleaning glamping igloos, and helping with alpaca walks. We also had plenty of free time to explore the stunning Norwegian nature. The family was incredibly kind, and we truly felt at home. We now have a Norwegian alpaca family that we miss dearly! ❤️

We have no hesitation in recommending Sofie and Lasse!
They are just the most nice and caring couple! They truly care about the alpacas and enjoy the farm work.
They are practical, serviceminded and have no problem of solving any challenges or new tasks at the farm. Sofie and Lasse spend a lot of time with the alpacas and also our family, so we really feel like they are a part of our family now.
We wish you a safe travels around the world, enjoy, take care and have fun :-)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Kari-Anne and Geir were lovely hosts who went out of their way to ensure my comfort and a good experience. The work was fun and fair, with everything being agreed upon ahead of time and communicated well. I learned so much about alpacas and Norwegian culture. I will miss taking care of alpacas every day!

It was our first time in volunteering and we found the best place to start. Even with few experience working with animals, we enjoyed the company of alpacas and the daily life became so smoothly and rewarding. There are lot of things you can help with and so many skills you can get. The instructions are easy and clear to take so u can heart-connect to this beautiful animals that bring peace and a funny tenderness to the mind. The location is safe and nice whether you have a car or not - buses and train around. The people is very welcoming and the forest so magical 🦋 Greatful for this!
