Description
I´m sorry but I can´t have workawayers here in winter time. The gottage is suitable to stay only in summer. Next free weeks are in September 2024.
have a 100 years old wooden house by the sea in the Porvoo archipelago. It is situated in the middle of great nature reserve where birds come to nest in the summertime. My yard is around 4000 sqm and needs to be taken care. The beach and the pier also needs repair. Working here would include cutting branches, digging stones, carrying and cutting woods. Also if you have skills to build things, there is work to be done. In your free time you can explore archipelago by kayak or sup-board or cycle around this island. My place is 15 minute drive from historic Porvoo center ja 1 hour from Helsinki airport. From Porvoo there is bus connection to here on weekdays, the bus stop is opposite my house. I can also give you a lift by car. I have a little one room cottage with a wood heated sauna in my garden where you can stay. You may also use shower in the main house.
I´m working as a primary school teacher in Porvoo. I have a dog, which is friendly and love all the visitors.
The best thing to live here is to enjoy serenity and beauty of the nature. Come to experience this unique place and help me to make it better.
