The Experience

The social volunteer undertakes activities such as: hikes, games, quizzes, barbecue, cultural kitchen, talk, more hikes, fishing, sightseeing, coffee and cookies, waffle baking, music – all in the name of cultural exchange and bringing people together.

I absolutely loved my time in the hostel! the accommodation and food provided are amazing and the hostel is beautiful, with a stunning view over Bergen! the staff members and other volunteers became a family and i enjoyed a lot my time with them! the work doesn't feel like work, and being a social volunteer is the best way to explore the city and connect with other travellers. i will forever cherish my time there, thank you for everything!

I absolutely recommend going to the hostel! This was my first experience as a volunteer, and I could'nt have expected a better one. Everyone there is so nice and welcoming, it is really easy to feel home. The social work that they expect from the volunteers is perfect to meet a lot of people and discover the city of Bergen. The hostel and the city are beautiful places that are really worth visiting. I can't thank people from the hostel enough for this amazing opportunity <3

It was the best volunteering I have ever participated in, this is my fourth volunteer and without a shadow of a doubt I can say that this is the best. I don't know where to start, the volunteer's task is very free and this gives a lot of room for the creativity of every single person. The hours and tasks always respected. The environment that Amarilis together with her staff have managed to create is incredible, you immediately feel at home. The staff are very friendly and can easily become very good friend, they really take care of the volunteers. Super recommended, thank you all, I love you!
