  • Description

    Description

    I am a single mother, living in a countryside between the most beautiful pine forests. I love nature, and especially animals: I currently have three dogs, two cats, two rats living in my house, and rabbits, goats and different kind of poultry in the farm. Quite often, I am fostering shelter animals.
    My house is quite small and in the middle of renovation, but it's warm, cosy, and I have a bathtub!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I do my best to introduce Estonian culture, and show around the village. I have two towns nearby that are interesting to explore. Moreover, as an English teacher , I have the opportunity to organise cultural exchange between my students and the workawayer, if the traveller accepts.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A separate or a shared room in a farmhouse. I am a terrible cook myself, but nobody will be left on empty stomach :) And if the guests want to cook, I am a willing helper at that :)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The nearest bus stop is about 5 kilometres away, but I'm always happy to help with the transport. During the time I am at work, the traveller can explore the countryside, or stay at home with the pets, who need taken care of. Otherwise, I will do my best that the traveller had the greatest experience in nearby towns.
