Description
We are a family of four - mum (40), dad (42) and two teenager girls. We are entrepreneurs in a field of tourism.
We are looking for some help with our household chores and especially we want to practice our language skills. Mostly we are interested in to practice English, but also mum would like refresh her spanish or russian language skills, if one of these are your native languages.
We are also interested in other cultures and specially food cultures.
Our lifestyle is busy and our work fullfill our days, but also we spend a lot of time at home and we like to spend time in the nature and hike in the forests and fishing on the lakes. We would like to have some helping hand every now and then, for example cleanings, organizing things, paintings, chopping fire wood, help with computers, photographing, etc.
We have 3 dogs, so you should like dogs and have some experience about dogs.

We will teach you everything about Finnish culture and habits. You will get to know our sauna culture, our habits to pick up berries and mushrooms in the forests, skiing and skating in winter wonderland and enjoy northern nature and silence! In summer you can admire nightless nights and from autumn to spring Northern Lights are visible in our region! We are also happy to teach you Finnish language.
Help
We are looking for someone to stay and commit for at least 2 weeks, but preferably for a month or longer. It's good if you are hands on person, social and you like active lifestyle and you like to be outdoors. Some interest to tourism and hospitality, photographing and some skills to create social media would be helpful and give us a lot of themes to talk and practice.
We are looking for someone very happy, open-minded person with a good physical and mental health. Driving license is handy here, because we don't have a public transportation.
We would really love you to help us with all sorts of tasks in and around the house and in exchange offer a wonderful experience with us!
You will learn Finnish language and Finnish culture, and explore our beautiful forests and National Parks in Kuusamo and neighborhood regions!
