The Experience

I have just mo to a new farm in Norway. There is a lot to do like animal care (cows, horse, soon sheep I hope, hens, a dog and cats). This winter we are going over the whole farm, tiding up, renovating, starting productions (I want to have dairy cows and make cheese) as well as just being company for me and joining in day to day tasks in house keeping and child care (4 years, disabled). In spring there will be gardening and in summer haymaking.

All in all, I had a great time. The hosts are very kind and the area around the farm is really beautiful. The work was diverse and included cleaning up manure, building fences or looking after Peter. Only the stated working hours of 25 per week were never retained and I worked mostly around 40-45 hours per week which was just too much for me and my expectations.

One thing about working hours: I expect of a worldpacker that he or she wants to share my life, which means that I don't put up a working plan with work hours and free time, but that I never exploit anyone and force him or her to work either. You can always say that you need a rest, which Victoria did far more often than all other volunteers I had until now. You do many things in the course of a day, like doing the dishes or joining in when I prepare food. Would you count that as work? Everyone would do such things also at home for themselves. So as a worldpacker at my place I want you to expect that you become a part of my family, not a worker.
