    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I can teach you something about gardening (im a beginner), about finnish culture and food. For the projects: mainly we can figure out things together, since this is my first summerhouse :) I can take you to bus, which is 7km from here for you to explore the area. Also you can go with me to Helsinki every time i go to work and see the capital. The nature here is amazing. There are several horse stables near and also swimming places. Natural parks are nearby.
    We can go to events together if there are some interesting ones while your stay.
