The Experience
In our hostel, we've long relied on volunteers to make ends meet. Many people have started with us and ended up moving to Tromso. We're right in the middle of the city so it's easy to getting around. The tasks are mostly to tidy up the rooms and common areas, and some laundry is also expected. Weekly we clean the fridges of leftover food and do deep cleans. Reception and helping guests if they have any questions and that's pretty much it! :)

It was the best experience I've never had. Naoko and Robin are so flexible with the schedule and kind people. Sometimes, if there is any spot free, you can join the northern lights tour and it's so incredible. The shifts are easy and you have enough time to visit the city. I really miss all the volunteers, we were like a really family with Burger. I can't wait to come back.

My volunteer experience in Tromsø was amazing. The tasks were easy, varied daily, and took 2-4 hours with flexible hours. Naoko always considered our schedule requests. The house is comfortable and cozy, but it needs lots of maintenance. However, during my stay, I saw several improvements based on volunteers feedback. The same goes for the hostel. The group I lived with made my trip unforgettable, I'm very grateful for them. I could see the Northern Lights both from the hostel and on Robyn's tour when there was free seats for us. I just left and can't stop thinking about returning 🏞️

My experience was wonderful, the place is very beautiful and the people I met became friends, The job is very simple and the city of Tromso has everything you can possibly need. Robin and Naoko are very helpful and listen to every piece of advice. I think I will come back maybe in the summer to see the landscape with different colors
