    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 sometime at our cottage. 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 in our home. We need someone to be at the house with dogs and taking care of household tasks. 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! In here you have a change to see different kind of homes and ways to live.
