I really enjoyed my stay here. The tasks were very reasonable and Monica was always available for any questions I had. Lillebror the cat is very sweet and will be happy to receive pets from you. There is a good bus system that you can walk to from the house. I would absolutely recommend this opportunity for people wanting to visit a more rural part of Norway. Thank you Monica!

Monica is an incredible and fascinating human, who I felt so inspired by. She was open, and helpful, and gave me all of the resources I’d need! It was a magical time staying in her sweet Bodø home with Lillebrod (the cuddliest cat I’ve ever met). I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone :)

My stay here was amazing. The house and the location are both lovely and even more so is Lillebror the cat :). Monica was traveling during my stay and was available for every question I had.

I loved my stay. I was there two weeks. The host, Monica made sure I had everything I needed and checked in regularly. The tasks were clear and fair. The place was cosy and near a bus station. Lots of hikes to do and bodø is a charming city! I would definitely stay there again

Our experience with Monica was amazing, she is a very kind and generous person, she was always checking on us even though she was traveling during our stay. Our work consisted mainly of painting rooms, and taking care of Llillebror who is a sweetheart. The work hours and days off were totally flexible and decided by us.

Thank you very much Monica for opening the doors of your home to us! 😊
