Description
Hi!
I have a small old farm that has been unutilized for over a decade. I have cleaned the ground, removed tonns of waste of different sorts and been working on restoring the harmony in the nature. The main house has been renovated and is nearly done and very livable.
There is a separate sauna cottage and a small pond. All other buildings are very old and in bad shape. I need help with everything :D
I have too little time, two children in Helsinki and a normal job. So many friends have been helping out and we like to have good people there.
It is a beautiful peaceful place 12km from the closest city and 120km from Helsinki.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love to cook and to listen to music and dance. I speak german, swedish, english and finnish. I know a lot about the local flora and collect wild herbs throughout the summer for different purposes.
There is a lot of space if you like to do arts of some kind. We have some instruments on site, an ukuleke, a didgeridoo, a guitar anda djembe drum.
I can also drive you to helsinki for a day if you like. There are also cute places to visit in the area. Many natural reserves and sweet water lakes.
You may also make wishes and let me know what interests you have that i might be able to accomodate 🤗
Help
Most importantly i would need to get the living house painted on the outside. But there are endless small things to repair everywhere. We are also slowly working on building flower beds and growing terasses. So painting, renovating (easy stuff), digging, cutting small trees, picking herbs, many skills welcome!
There will always be someone here! If i am away for a day to work in the city, my girlfriend is there to cook and supervise and take care of everyone.
