We have been hosted by a very friendly family which ownes a cider farm. Our accomodation was surrounded by apple, peer and plum orchards. So-called "Ciderhuset" produces organic juice, cider, wine and brandy. Of course we had a lot of chances to try the drinks and each of them tastes amaizing!
We have got a chance to meet 12 other volunteers from many places in Norway and of course from different countries all over the Europe. It was great to meet so many different people and be able to discuss and share our experience of being volunteers in Norway. Finally we had a company of young people to hang out with for 6 days :)
The program prepared by our host family was very colorful and mix of important information and fun actvities. In between of all official discussions about Erasmus+ program, YouthPass and insurance we also learned a bit of Norwegian history, culture and language. And of course since we've been in the middle of beautiful fjord we had a lot of outdoor activities as well such as planting young apple trees and climbing 972 m high mountain. Some of us got a bit lost at the mountain but everything ended up great :)
Another thing to admire about the seminar was food! We've got an amaizing mixture of traditional norwegian and turkish dishes. And even some Christmas specialties.
We had an unforgettable experience, met a lot of new friends and spent time in the heart of Norway. We would like to say a huge thank you to Gard, Tuba and little Edda for hosting and sharing a bit of their life with us!
Best regards,
Yulia and Nemanja
