Dear Hannah,
Thank you so much for everything you brought to the team during your time with us – your positivity, care, and strong sense of responsibility truly made a difference.

We unfortunately missed the deadline to submit a formal review, but we couldn’t not leave a few words here. You are a force in yourself – reliable, inspiring, and full of light. Any team would be lucky to have you, and we’re grateful you chose to spend part of your journey with us.

I would truly recommend this experience to anyone! I had a really great time meeting guests and the other volunteers. The schedule is flexible, so it is really up to you and the other volunteers on how you plan your time. Amarilis is great volunteer coordinator and made me feel incredibly welcome when I first arrived!

This programm of the hostel Norway is truly a gem. It's a great time for oneself but one is also actually creating a positive impact on the hostel. I stayed in both places, Bergen and Oslo. Together with the other volunteers you can decide which activities you want to do with the guests. It was always super fun, since you meet a lot of people and the spirit it the volunteer team was amazing. In Bergen you meet more people and therefore it's also more volunteers. I preferred that but I also loved my stay in Oslo. In both places you quickly become Friends with the staff and Amarilis is a great boss.
