What is a Working Guest?

A Working Guest must be between 18 and 30 years old. You will be staying and working with a Norwegian family which runs a farm, a hotel or both, for some months. You will get to know the Norwegian people, culture, customs and lifestyle better and more thouroughly than an ordinary tourist. You will be a member of the host family, and a part of their everyday life. During work hours you are expected to help the family with tasks connected to their farming or hotel business. You will get free board and accommodation, and receive pocket money to cover your expenses on trips, personal equipment etc. You can apply for this program all year round. For applicants from EU countries, you may stay from 2-6 months, whereas for applicants from countries outside EU, you may stay for 3 months.
