Vom Workawayer (Tosca) für Host
My time at Ilona and her family was a really nice experience. I felt welcome from the first moment I entered the house. Ilona is a great host. She is a very warm, kind and funny person. I also learned a lot from her about gardening and taking care of animals. We had nice chats together and also we respected each other’s privacy and alone time.

The 3 sheeps are amazing, they are so sweet and easy to take care of. You will love them very easily, i’m sure :)
It was really relaxing for me that I could make my own ‘work schedule’. It gave me space to choose what to do and I didn’t had to look at the clock. I took care of the animals, cooked and also did some cleaning and organizing.
I stayed 6 weeks in Veikkola, but it felt like 6 months ;) That’s a good sign. I had the best time over there. Thanks Ilona!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Viktoriya)
Viktoriya has been our saving grace and a big blessing since well over 6 months. This girl is brilliant in so many ways. She is highly skilled and badass in her field (architecture), yet very open minded, down to earth, hard working, self motivated, intuitive, easy and fun to be with. We have been very Lucky to have her in our team. Besides all

Staying with Ilona for months has been a wonderful experience. Going to Finland has always been a dream for me and I can't imagine a better family to stay with. I have had the pleasure of watching the seasons go by in a house surrounded by nature and animals and at the same time close to the city. I have learned so much from all the tasks I have

I can't recommend her enough, because if you want to discover Finland, participate in nature projects and at the same time be independent and have the freedom to manage your daily tasks, this is the perfect house.
Thank you very much for all your support, your kind heart and your positive energy ❤️Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Workawayer (Valeria & Sophia) für Host
We had a very lovely time during our one month stay in Veikkola. Illona was such a warm and welcoming host that we felt at home in no time! We had lots of fun with the sheep and chicken and loved the work in the garden but also appreciated the cold days we stayed inside doing work around the house followed up by cozy evenings where we could

It was our very first time in finland and also our first time doing something like workaway and Illona turned this experience into a wonderful memory.
There is lots of nature around the house that we explored, so anybody that loves the forest and lakes will have a blast.
Also the bus connections to Helsinki are solid, which made it possible for us to explore the city as well. Illona was very flexible and didn‘t hesitate to tell us everything we needed to know.
We are really grateful for all of this and would love to come again some time. Now that we have seen finland in november we might need to come again in a warmer season as well! 💞Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Valeria & Sophia)
Valeria and Sophia are incredible. If you have a chance to host them, do it. I cannot praise them enough. They are independent working, wise, kind, caring, reliable. I pointed out where we needed help, and with very little instructions they created beauty and order like Masters. I simply came to admire their accomplishments around the house. Not

My stay at this amazing place was the begin of my trip through Finland.
After one day I already felt like a part of the family. Just to give one example of many many nice things that happened during my two weeks stay:
We celebrated my birthday with a one meter chocolate cake, a big birthday party with campfire and a little jam session.

The talks that I had with every family member, the way how my work and myself got appreciated and the things that I learned are really important and special memories and helped me a lot during my whole journey.
Highly recommended for people who can work independent, who can eat lots of good pizza and who are openminded and naturelovers.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
