The Experience
If you've been dreaming of immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of Oslo, Norway, then this volunteer opportunity is tailor-made for you. My cozy hostel-apartment, nestled right in the heart of the city, is calling for a helping hand to keep things spick and span. It's simple yet essential – clean for just 2 hours. In exchange, you will experience the charm of Oslo up close but also be welcomed into a warm and friendly environment.

I absolutely recommend volunteering at Charlie's hostel to anyone! The hostel is lovely, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The host is also very kind and friendly, and care about how you're feeling. There's hardly any work — just 1.5 to 2 hours a day — so you have plenty of time to explore. The location is also a big plus, right in the city center, with everything important close by. The hostel is small and cozy, there's no chaos, and it feels very homely — which was exactly what I liked most:) Thank you for this experience:)

Charlie is a great host. He is very supportive and kind. The hostel is quite small and had only a few guests during my stay, so there was only light work for me. Overall, I had a great time there and would definitely recommend it. : )

My experience at Charlie's hostel was amazing! It was my first worldpackers trip and I could not imagine it to be better:)) Charlie was very kind always asking how was my day, giving me many tips about what to visit in Oslo and making sure if I am felling comfortable. The hostel was very cozy and I had a chance to meet a lot of travelers from all around the world! Work wasn't demanding. I worked for 1-2 hours a day and than I had my free time to walk around the city. Hostel is placed very close to the city center so there is always something to do after work :))))

I had an amazing time at the hostel. Charlie is a very nice person and always ready to help. I liked the work at the hostel and to meet people from everywhere in the world. It's a very cozy place and the workload is not too much, so there is plenty of time to explore Oslo. Thank you so much Charlie for your hospitality!
