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! :)
