  House and Pet Sitting in mid March till May
  Please get in touch if you would like to try this kind of experience on May-June 2024.
  
  Update to spring 2024.Help with the furry family is needed from the end of the May till mid June or a bit later.
  Current goal is to find a person, family or a couple interested in taking care of my furry family. I am listed on pet/house sitters now from the admins. Then we can also meet in person. My very good friend and neighbour is next door to help while I am away.
  
  Spring and early summer is amazing time here, if you like birdwatching and seasonal changes. The light in nature is extraordinary in this time of the year. Usually I am present in my home, this time I am traveling and looking for work opportunities as well as visiting my beloved friends.
  
  General of my life and this place I live: I met lovely workawayers on my internship time last winter in Athens, now I have got my degree, I live alone, my children are grown up and my family is now 3 dogs and two cats. I have this old house from mid 1800, gardens, outer buildings and a barn in pretty South West Finland, 130 km from Turku (port & airport) and also small distance from railway in Harjavalta. I am curious about life and stories of people. I do my own kind of art projects and I write.
  
  Lots of bird life, some deer and other wildlife, the little village has river and small rapids and old museum mill. Sea is about 30 min drive away, neighbour friend of mine has horses and chicken. My animals have pen and catio, though the dogs love long walks. They are family members and allowed everywhere in the house. One of my cats has mild case asthma and he has easily administered medicine twice a day.
  
  House has heaps of projects of reno, I use recycled materials and creativity. My budget is low, yet I have many ideas and very eager to learn and curious to experiment. There is little bit of painting, roofs need repairs (only if this interests someone). There are mosaic/ tiles projects to begin, toilet/ bathroom redoing, floors sanding & painting...
  The house is totally winter livable even now, yet many things need helping hands. I have quite a bit room upstairs for even many people to stay. One of the outer buildings has been planned to transform into a loft to and sauna for visitors. I would need help especially from May onward during the summertime, as in winter there is less possibility to do any work.
  Other times all kinds of help with garden and renovations are welcome. I prefer old fashioned methods and sustainable practices, I compost and grow organic. I am certified Natural Therapist and Cam specialist - as well as masseuse. My degree is about wellbeing & adventure tourism management and bit of events as well as futuristic research.
  
  I have traveled heaps around the world, also lived many years in different countries, Luxembourg, Australia, NZ, Italy... then all over Europe and some Asia for backpacking. I have couchsurfed, hosted, travelled and done work exchanges in the past.
  I am bilingual in English-Finnish and have studied also French, Swedish, Italian - and bits of German and other languages.
  I love writing, music, singing too, shaman drum, have one didgeridoo if anyone wants to try to play it...
