    Description

    Welcome to our peaceful corner of the world! We're a friendly family with two boys, living in a quiet village just 60 km from Tallinn. We are in the exciting process of building our own house, and our first project was a cozy, wood-fired sauna -perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. Our garden is quite big with apple and plum trees, berry bushes, and a vegetable beds. There is even a pond in the garden where you can take a refreshing swim on warm summer days. We have a lot of woods and untouched nature in Estonia. One of our hobbies is to walk in the woods and take nature photos.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You’ll get a chance to experience real countryside life outside the city, in a very quiet and safe environment. Our home is surrounded by nature, where you can enjoy fresh air, peaceful walks, and swimming in natural spots during the summer.

    Estonia is a small country, so it’s easy to explore. You can visit beautiful places and landmarks in just a short drive—whether it's a quiet forest, a historic town, or a wild coastline. We’d be happy to share our favorite local spots!

    We live close to untouched nature, and being here offers the chance to slow down, learn about local traditions. You can also try an authentic Estonian sauna and jump into the pond, just like locals do.
    You can learn language. We speak English, little-bit of Russian and German.

    Help

    We are building our new house and are looking for someone to help us with a variety of practical tasks. These include installing insulation in the walls, fixing boards to the structure, building a stone garden path, putting up a garden fence, and stacking firewood.

    You don’t need to be an expert in any of these areas—what matters most is a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and readiness to help out.

    We also need support with general garden work such as mowing the grass, digging, and other outdoor maintenance tasks.
