Wow Thank you so much for having me.
I had an amazing time with Riina, Ethan and the two Kids. Thank you so much for an amazing and warm welcome.
I came into their home and it was just fully filled with love and gratitude.
I spent two Wonderfull weeks with them during November. There were some small outdoor projects I helped with and I also

The work was never too much or too hard. I cleaned up some burned Bushes in the garden and made some firewood for winter. Riina and I even climbed on the roof to clean up all the leaves from it. Was a bit scary but also a very cool experience. We also took the Sailing boat out of the water for winter.
Saila is an amazing little girl and I absolutely loved talking to her about her day and all the fun experiences she had at daycare. And we played a lot of games. Especially Memory where she is an absolut Pro.
Riina and Ethan, wow you are amazing. It was a pleasure to meet you both and to spend time with you. Even though you were not on your best, because everybody was a bit sick during my stay, you alway made sure to look out for fun stuff to do with me. We did a lot of Sauna together and went to basketball. One of the best moments for me was, when Ethan took me to the abandoned Arboretum a few kilometers away. Or also cleaning up the Greenhouse for Winter together with Riina.
I enjoyed our long conversations about live and our planet and just had the feeling of understanding.
I will always keep the time I spent with you in a very special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to hopefully see you all again.
This Workaway experience was my first, and it turned out to be the best anyone could wish for! :)
I stayed for three weeks and it became the highlight of my entire year.
The family made me feel safe even before my trip to Finland, and once I arrived, I instantly became part of the family. I had the chance to meet the grandparents and other

I truly enjoyed spending time with the kids, and I miss them very much. Babysitting was a wonderful experience, and since everyone spoke English, communication was easy and effortless. The daily routine is very much centered around the children, so it's important to love being around people, especially kids.
The work around the house wasn't too hard, and I loved that each morning we made a plan of what needed to be done. I could then arrange my own work schedule and take breaks in between, which was great.
The food was amazing, and I even learned quite a few useful recipes. I also loved getting to know Finnish culture, traditions, and their language.
Riina, you are such a creative and warm person. You were always so kind to me, and I truly cherished our conversations about life. I adored our walk in the national park, the fun we had during the party, trying my first sushi, cooking and baking with you and making a treasure hunt for the kids. I learned so much from you, and I will forever be thankful that I had the chance to meet you.
Ethan, I loved your technical explanations of how things work and our discussions about Finnish culture. The memories of listening to Finnish and Slovenian music on your speakers will stay with me for a long time. You taught me so many new things, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
You both have two wonderful children, and I was often amazed by how you managed to make everything work so well, even with the challenges of raising little ones. Despite it all, you were always kind, patient, and full of warmth.
Saila is such a bright child with endless energy and an incredible talent for music. I absolutely loved spending time with her, especially when we would decide each morning what kind of princesses we would be for the day. I was also delighted to learn new Finnish words from her, she really is the best teacher.
Elias is such a cute and interactive baby! Watching him discover the world around him was a joy, and his giggles always made me laugh.
I appreciated everything I got to experience – from a birthday party and a movie festival to long walks in the forest, relaxing saunas, canoeing, and even a few days in Helsinki!
During my stay, I wasn’t feeling well for a couple of days, and the family was so kind, allowing me to rest and showing genuine concern for my recovery, which I deeply appreciated.
The only thing I was initially worried about was the composting toilet, but it turned out to be much like a regular one, so my concerns were completely unnecessary.
I was also thankful for having my own room with a kitchen and my own shower. I could also always grab something to eat whenever I felt hungry, which was very convenient.
To my dear Finnish family – I will cherish the time we spent together forever. Thank you so much for everything. I miss you more and more each day and can’t wait to see you again – whether you visit my country or I return to see you. :)Feedback
