    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live at countryside so pure nature is very close to you. There is no neighbours so it's really peaceful. Our nearest neighbour is about 1km away. We invite the workawayer to be a part of our family and share our daily life at our home and at our cottage during the weekends. At our cottage is a traditional finnish sauna and a big lake with a sand beach. We can also show local places and attractions. We love the nature and being in it.

  • Help

    Help

    We need help for homecare (cleaning, cooking), pet care and some gardening. We expect a self-imposed person who gets in to tasks without us having to explain them repeatedly. Every day is different and it's never boring! You get to meet lot of people and see different kind of homes and ways to live.
