This was my first experience with worldpackers and I'm so, so glad I got to spend it at Opplev the farm! The work was really varied, felt rewarding and with many tasks to choose from it never got boring. I especially enjoyed taking care of the adorable Alpacas and chickens. The surroundings of the farm are stunning for hiking or taking the boat out. Hege's father even took us on a boat trip to some other islands which was amazing, thank you again! Hege was really kind and took such good care of us. All in all it was such a memorable, peaceful experience and I wish I could've stayed longer! :)

We had a lovely time at Opplev the farm :). Working on different projects on the farm outside and inside, as well as spending time with the Alpacas was a lot of fun! The nature is absolutely stunning and the people are very kind! I definitely recommend coming here :))

It has been a pleasure to volunteer at the farm. Hege put us instantly at ease on day one and gave us the freedom to pick the jobs that suited us best. It was a joy to work with her and the other volunteers, and I gained a lot of new skills. The landscape was breathtaking and even more spectacular in person. Being immersed in nature each day made the experience even more special. A special thank you to John for showing us the area, taking us fishing and sightseeing on his boat and explaining us the Norwegian culture. Thank you Hege and John for this amazing experience!

I had the most wonderful time🔅 Hege is a kind and inspiring women, the way she commits herself to passionately creating something that feels meaningful to her is impressive. You can learn a lot from her! We did a lot of manual work outside, which I really enjoyed. And Hege always made sure we were feeling good about our tasks. One of the best parts were the boat trips her father John took us on, we visited some lovely islands and went hiking and canoeing. All the volunteers are living together in a separate house, and we had a great time together. Absolutely recommended☺️

Our time at Opplev the farm was truly memorable. Hege is an amazing host and inspirational person who runs the farm with heart and soul. The work on the farm was always interesting and enjoyable. Feeding the different animals, walking the Alpacas or painting the house it never got boring. In our free time we got to hike up different mountains to stunning views, enjoy sightseeing trips with John or hop into the freezing ocean :) I can truly recommend this amazing experience. Thank you Hege!!
