    Description

    Welcome to peaceful but energetic Joensuu – and to our little home full of warmth, garden life, and a lovely cat!

    Hi! My name is Muqiu, and I am currently doing my PhD in tourism studies at the University of Eastern Finland. I live in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood in Joensuu, a town surrounded by beautiful nature and friendly people. While the town is small, it has a vibrant academic and cultural atmosphere.

    I am looking for a friendly and responsible Workawayer who can help me with some household tasks such as general cleaning, gardening (weeding, watering, light maintenance), and taking care of my sweet cat, Nana 🐱, especially when I am busy with research or away for short trips. Nana is gentle and independent, but she loves some company.

    You don’t need to be an expert – just someone with a kind heart, who enjoys a tidy space and perhaps likes spending time outdoors. In return, I’ll provide you with a cosy place to stay, some meals (we can cook together if you like!), and a calm environment to relax, read, or explore the town and nature trails around Joensuu.

    🌿 What I offer:

    A private room in a warm, quiet flat (with WiFi, of course!)

    Occasional shared meals

    Flexible schedule so you can enjoy your free time

    A chance to learn about Finnish life and culture

This image shows rustic wooden cabins in a forested area, surrounded by tall pine trees, partial sunlight, and a peaceful natural setting with dirt and rocks.
A tranquil river flows beneath a partly cloudy sky, bordered by forests on both sides. A metal railing is visible in the foreground with overhanging branches.
A large, freshly mowed grassy yard with playful mower tracks. Swings, a slide, trampolines, and chairs sit in the sunny clearing surrounded by trees.
This is a cozy bedroom with a single bed, light blue curtains, a small shelf of plants, decorative pillows, and a backpack placed on the floor.
The image shows a woman holding a large, fluffy cat with blue eyes, wearing a black tank top and sitting on a bed with gray pillows.
The image depicts a serene scene of two cats sleeping together in a white and orange basket, with one cat\'s head resting on the other\'s back.
