===================
House and Pet Sitting also possible - now I am at home.
Please get in touch if you would like to try this kind of experience.
===================
Help with the furry family is needed from time to time.
This opportunity will suit 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. I prefer to meet in person, before and train with you and the animals. My very good friend and neighbour is next door to help while I am away.
Summer is amazing time here, if you like birdwatching and wild flower and pleasantly changeable weather. The light in nature is extraordinary in this time of the year. Usually I am present in my home, sometimes 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, 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 on the main house (priority), 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 during the summertime, as in winter there is less possibility to do any work and my life is about to change next autumn to live partially in south of Europe.
Help with garden (now lawnmowing, weeding) 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 ( it is my part-time profession, so I can do treatments, yet expect to be paid, just to clarify this). When you come I generally pick up from Harjavalta or Pori - both have bus and train stations. Other tours in the neighbouring area, are possible, yet I wish you can participate on the fuel costs, just fair. I studied the last 5 years and my degree in university is about wellbeing & adventure tourism management and bit of events as well as futuristic research. I love exploring, trekking, mountains, seaside and more.
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 and an old piano at home, if anyone wants to try to play them...
And my dad has a guitar to borrow.
Wishing you all a wonderful travels and smiles when people meet anywhere. Lets change the world to Love not fear.

Sharing stories, food, ideas, creating art and art related within the reno, learning to use recycled materials and build in old- fashioned style with wood mainly. Creating mosaics and other tile works. Having the loving company of my sweet animals and most likely also neighbors horses to pat - even riding may an option. I am willing to take the visitors to see the area a bit, seaside, nearby cities, for a small contribution to fuel. In summer there is also quite many festivals relatively close by. I do quite a bit handcrafts, so I can also show and talk about them... Learning languages, taking photographs, observing wildlife...
