    Description

    Hi, we are a family from Finland, 32 kilometers from Helsinki. We live in the middle of nature. We spend a normal family life, moving and working. There is a ski resort and nature parks next to us. But still the airport is only 20 minutes away from us. We like skiing and being in nature.

    Hei, me olemme perhe Suomesta, 32 kilometria Helsingistä. Asumme luonnon keskellä. Vietämme normaalia perhe-elämää liikkuen ja työskennellen. Vieressämme on laskettelukeskus ja luonnon puistoja. Mutta silti lentokenttä on vain 20 minuutin päässä meistä. Pidämme hiihtämisestä ja luonnossa liikkumisesta.

    We need help with yard, dismantling the interior of the outbuilding, and playing with our 9 and 12 year old children. There is always plenty of homework. If you have an area of expertise that you are good at, we would love to hear about it and learn from you. And we would love to learn new languages.

    Kaipaamme apua pihatöissä, ulkorakennuksen sisätilojen purkamisessa ja 9 ja 12 vuotiaiden lasten kanssa touhuamisessa. Kotitöitä riittää aina. Jos sinulla jokin osaamisalue, jossa olet hyvä kuulemme siitä mielellämme ja opimme sinulta. Ja mielellämme opimme uusia kieliä.
