Description
Hi! I am 25 years old from Finland. I am from a little town from countryside, very down-to-earth and love all kinds of animals.
I was in the Finnish army in 2022 and worked there 6months in the beginnnng of 2023.
In Australia I'm looking to find new adventures, friends and challenges. It has been a big dream of mine to stay and live here for quite a while now, and few years back I had some issues with my healt and I realized that I have nothing to lose and the time to live my dreams is now or never.
I was travelling with my good friend at first for about three months, but she left Australia in the beginning of December and I stayed here and will stay 'till about next August.

I have been in all kinds of customer service jobs, I have some experience with all kinds of animals (including some farm animals), and I have some experience of child care from my nephew who is now 2 years old and my god doughter (and niece) who is now a 1 year old.
I laugh a lot, I am very open minded and optimistic, and because of that willing and happy to try anything new. Not scared to get dirty and I always try my best with everything I do.

I am a scout so from that I have done kinda lot of volunteer work before and I've been hiking and camping a lot (also in my spare time). My uncle has a dairy farm right next to my parents house so I have been helping there a little as a kid.

We had a pleasure to host Fia for a couple of weeks and she was great. She was great to work with, did her jobs with ease and was very proactive, which we definitely appreciate. She was even happy to learn and operate an excavator and tractor.
Overall it was an amazing experience and we definitely recommend her to anyone.

Left by host (Help us around our family ...) for Workawayer (Fia)

We loved having Fia and Aleksandra over, they were great help, positive and pleasant, mature and good fun. They were very helpful and did a whole lot of farm tasks really well, especially weeding as it was the most needed task at the time (spring)... they were lucky to be part of our folk dance night and did really well!
