Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Finland is happiest country in the world, now sixth time in a row (2023). Maybe you travelers can spot the small things in everyday life here what makes us the happiest country.
We can't forget the Finnish sauna culture. And clean nature, with four seasons and how those things are part of our everyday life.
Finnish people can be little bit hard to approach, but when you manage to build a friendship with a Finn, it's a lifelong friendship.
Help
Help we need is cleaning, organizing, maintaining and small fixing inside and outside. Example projects: cleaning cellar and an old pigsty. Cutting down small trees and cut bushes. Colleting wood. Painting buildings.

Accommodation
We have multiple possibilities. A small room in a small, but normal apartment. A old farm home with electricity, but no running water + an outhouse , a cabin with electricity but no running water + an outhouse. We can discuss the options.
We provide warm meal twice a day, made by me and there is food and snacks when hungry strikes.
What else ...
Our village is quite small, but we can find so much evening + weekend activities for you. For example just exploring the nature or sport activities. We have nice small town around us, but public transportation is non-existent. But we have bikes and let's think that what would you like to see and I can help you with my car.
