    🏡 Help Me Create a Home in Melbourne: Home Design + Landscaping DIY

    Explore Melbourne
    I’ve just moved into a brand-new four-bedroom home in Melbourne’s North-West.
    I’m slowly turning it into a beautiful, welcoming space.
    I’d love some help bringing the house and garden.

    🌿 What We’ll Be Doing
    There’s a positive mix of practical projects, and creativity.
    PROJECTS:
    • Creative DIY: Working on projects around the home.
    • Creating the landscaping and garden.

    ☀️ The Work & Lifestyle
    The arrangement is around 4 hours a day, Monday to Friday, with weekends free. That leaves you plenty of time for your own interests, study, remote work or exploring Melbourne.
    You get:
    • Your own room in a brand-new four-bedroom home.
    • A shared bathroom and Wi-Fi.


    A Little About Me
    I’m a counsellor, half Finnish and half American, born in Australia. I’ve lived in different parts of Asia, Europe, Scandinavia and California, and I love meeting people from different backgrounds. I’ve also done WorkAway myself and had a wonderful experience, so I know how special this kind of exchange can be. I’d love to share stories, have interesting conversations, laugh together, exchange recipes and learn about each other’s cultures. I’m curious about how other people live, what they value and the different perspectives they bring. For me, this is about more than getting things done around the house. It’s about creating a welcoming home, learning from each other and enjoying the experience along the way.

    Who Would Enjoy Staying Here?
    This could be a great fit if you’re studying, working remotely or travelling through Australia and would enjoy a comfortable home base with a few hands-on projects each day.
