Tuvimos una excelente experiencia junto con mi pareja. Nos sentimos muy cómodos y bien recibidos por parte de Helen y sus padres. A pesar de ser nuestro primer voluntariado, nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Helen habla muchos idiomas, por lo cual facilita la comunicación entre todos los voluntarios. Nos mostró los lugares típicos de la ciudad y siempre estuvo a disposición. Las tareas a realizar eran muy simples. Recomendamos esta hermosa experiencia para otros voluntarios. 🫶🏻💫

Helene was so incredibly kind. I had so much fun staying here. The work was very easy and you had lots of time to explore and Oslo and other little towns are very easy to get to. The only thing that I didn't like but some people might love is that there's no set dinner time, so sometimes you eat alone and not with other volunteers. But overall wonderful experience. Thank you so much Helene!!!

Yes, thank you for your feedback :) Im sorry about the different eating timelines. Hopefully this will be better with the new volunteers. I like when people find out what works for them, but the difference between some countries was really great when you were here!

I felt very comfortable during my 2 weeks with Helene and the other volunteers. The work is very easy and changes all the time. It's basically painting and organising the place as best as we can. I spent my free time with painting, reeding, chatting to the other volunteers, watching movies in the cinema or experimenting in the kitchen to make vegan cheese for example. I also went to Oslo and got to stay at a apartment of the parents for free :) All in all a very lovely and chill Experience! Thank you so much🫶🏻🫶🏻

I had wonderful time in Mysen. I met meny amazing people and visited a lot of beautiful places. The work was light and the hours were very flexible. I could start work whenever I wanted and if I wanted to have more days off I could work more on other days. The room I slept in was also very nice. It had a curtain as a door but there was a heater inside. One thing that could be improved was the food. There were suposed to be three meals a day but it was quite imposible to cook them without buying some suplies. There should be more basic ingridients because there were many volunteers.

I really enjoyed my stay at Mysen. The atmosphere Helen has created was so warm and sincere. Helen herself is very kind and flexible person - no start or finish hour, you can wake up whenever you want and start working, you can take more hours one day to have another one free. But there were some weaker points of the stay, and by that I mean mostly the food. It was hard to cook just from the stuff in the fridges, they often lacked basic products. Also I didn't like how we were to use some strong chemicals without protection or even a warning. But after all I do recommend the host

The work was enriching—I met amazing people, learned a lot, and enjoyed flexible tasks and cozy social moments like the small cinema. Helene was engaging. However, the place was often messy and unhygienic, with flies in the kitchen. The “private” room lacked real privacy. Meals were insufficient and unbalanced, and at one point someone even ate food that had expired five years earlier because it was still in the fridge. Safety was also a concern, with tasks like rooftop work and handling chemicals without proper protection. Great people, but future volunteers should be cautious.

Volunteering in Mysen was interesting but had several downsides. Food was provided but often not enough for about 15 volunteers, so some had to buy their own. Helene seemed to take in more people than she could manage, which affected accommodation — some stayed in a basement, and one “room” was just a walk-through space with curtain dividers. Overall, fine for a short stay of one to two weeks, but overcrowding and planning issues made it less comfortable.

Hi, the room in the basement was already agreed upon before she arrived and I didnt place her there without her awareness (that one person had to pass her room in the night). Also, witht he food, I have talked to people here and they dont allow me to buy the food for them even when I offered it, so I allow them to buy their own food if they want. I cant really do more than that, they do what they want at the end of the day. All I need is the communication and I will help or buy whats needed.
