I had an amazing time during my stay! Everyone made me feel like a part of the family and I really enjoyed getting to know the kids as well as Marsha and Yoko :) The area, that they live in offers some breathtaking views and hikes, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to explore Norways rugged west coast! The home is super comfy, you get a nice room to stay in, and the work is easy, so I was content in every way :) Thanks again for having me, it really was a memorable time for me!

My experience was amazing. yoko and marsha were very welcoming and kind. the work wasn't hard and everything was described into detail. free afternoons allow you to explore norways breathtaking nature or you can hang out around the house with the kids, who are always open to some fun activity! although it is a big family, you get your own room, so you can always have your private time. if you'd like to spend time in a house full of people and animals, this is the place to visit:)

This was my first World Packers experience! Everyone was super welcoming and the animals are adorable. I thought the tasks were very doable within the agreed upon hours and living accommodations were comfortable and private. If I was confused, questions were always welcomed which I appreciate! The mountains are beautiful and both hosts were very helpful with planning things to do! All in all this experience was very comfortable and I had a wonderful time getting to know this environment and lovely family!

I spent three winter weeks with this lovely family and I’m really grateful for my stay. Because it was winter, I couldn’t do as many hikes as I hoped, but I’m sure this place is amazing in warmer seasons.
All the animals were adorable and well-behaved, and Max completely stole my heart. Marsha and Yoko were very welcoming and having another volunteer with me made everything easier.
Thank you for the cozy and memorable time!

Marsha, Yoko and all the family is that kind of people that reminds me world is full of good-hearted people. You've created a HOME together and I am truly thankful of have been part of it. Although it was only for some weeks, I never felt as a foreigner, but a temporal welcomed member of the house. Tasks are fair and there was always a clear and good communication.

I had a wonderful three weeks with Marsha and Yoko. From the very beginning I felt truly welcomed—Yoko is so kind, Marsha communicates so well, and the kids are cheerful and always included me. The dog and cats are adorable and affectionate, so I never felt lonely. The work was clear, flexible, and not difficult, and I learned a lot along the way. Free time was always enjoyable too—playing with the kids, walking outside, or just relaxing with the piano and other instruments at home. The scenery around the house is beautiful, with a great hiking trail nearby and a fjord just a bus ride away.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. It warms my heart to know you actually enjoyed your time with us. I was a bit worried that you felt alone or that all of us were too overwhelming. ❤️

Marsha and Yoko made me feel very welcomed right away! I stayed 6 weeks, and after only the first one, I felt like I was home. The younger kids are very social and are always up to do activities and games. It's a lot of people in the house, but I absolutely loved all that constant action. The nature around is incredible and there are so many beautiful hikes to do. Also, the chores are very clear and easily fit in the hours proposed. For my first time with Worldpackers, I had a memorable time!

I had the most wonderful time staying with this warm and welcoming family of eight, along with their adorable pets. Though it was sometimes chaotic, it only added to the charm and homeliness of their place. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel like part of their family with their kindness and care. They ensure I had a great time, organizing fun outings, cozy movie nights, and games. At the same time, they were respectful of my need for independence, giving me the freedom to explore whenever I wanted. Everything felt so easy and flexible, thanks to our open communication.
