The most remarkably significant trip I've took in my life. The nature was absolutely stunning, with its gorgeous location near the fjords facing the highest peak of the region. With a local lifestyle, it was full of serenity. Every member in the host are very welcoming and just overall great people. Harhamis was such a cool man with so many skills you can learn from, Rieke was super friendly and caring who likes pretty much everyone and really helpful when you are in need. Luna is exactly what I would want a daughter to be like. Had more fun with an 11-year-old than most of my friends. 99/10

I had an absolutely fantastic time here!! The family were so welcoming, and made me feel very at home. The daughter is such an amazing person too. The best local tour guide, she even made me waffles!! Huge thank you to the family for having me, and making my first experience with Worldpackers so special 💛

I had a wonderful time with the family! I am so grateful for their hospitality, kindness and flexibility. I had a nice and comfortable private room with an amazing view on the glacier and a little patio! I helped them with household chores (cleaning, cooking, baking) and I learned how to look after the horses. In my free time I could go for a walk or a hike, the surroundings are absolutely astonishing! You can go fishing with the dad if you like or spend time with the daughter. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay in the middle of norwegian nature, this is perfect!

I really enjoyed my time at Rieke's place. Sadly her daughter and husband left for their holiday, I would have loved to spend more time with them as well. Despite that I still had a great time with Rieke, their pets. Rieke is very respectful and a good sport to be around. She's very flexible and gave me a lot of freedom to decide what to do in my free time, like hiking and swimming. The work hours were not strict at all and I could just take my time and they have a lovely, cozy house in the mountains and fjords. I highly recommend it. Thanks Rieke, Haramis, Luna, Rosa and Minka!

It was my first trip with Worldpackers and I couldn't think of a better family to go to. They were really nice and I've felt very comfortable there. Especially their daughter was the cutest. The tasks were totally makeable and I've learned a lot for my future. The surrounding was so incredibly beautiful and the family showed me around and told my a lot about it. I would absolutely recommend them :)
