Description

Hello!

I am a female from Finland. My name is Eevastiina, but you can call me Eva as it is easier 😊 Even though this account is quite new, I am not that new in Workaway; I had a couple account here before and I have been using another, similar type of page (HelpExchange) before. So, I have experience in this volunteer stuff since 2004.

Lately I have been working in an outdoor and board games company. But when I travel I am happy to do something completely different.

Even though I am quite shy sometimes, I still like to meet people, but if I am not super social or talkative all the time, please, try to understand me and don't think I am rude! Big and loud groups can be challenging for me, but in case I end up to such a place, I will try to manage as well as possible. Thank you for your understanding! 😊

I don't have any special talent. I am only passionately curious. -Albert Einstein

Like mister Einstein, I don't have any special talents, just curiosity and some experience. I have been doing some gardening, weeding and other simple things. As I have my own child (she is already 19), I have some experience of childcare. Lately I have also been taking care of my little nieces and my goddaughter.I enjoy the company of (little) children a lot.

I would also love to take care of animals. I am willing to learn new things and I am hardworking and trustworthy worker, if you give me a chance, good tools and instructions. I am physically in good condition, so I am not afraid of physical jobs either, but as a small female I am not very strong though. So, I would happily leave the hardest full day shoveling jobs and such for the stronger people.. Even though I don't have any passion for cleaning, I can also help you with it. I am not good at cooking, but I am still willing to assist you in the kitchen and if you have a good recipe, I might succeed to make something edible..

I stayed one week with Anna and her family. Anna is such a nice person. I made a few mistakes, but she was very understanding and compassionate. We had some interesting conversations and I felt comfortable even sharing some personal issues with her even though I am normally a bit deserved with new aqcuiantances. I didn’t spend so much time with … read more

We are grateful and happy that Eva spent 3 weeks with us. She radiates a great deal of calm and peace, which makes her a very pleasant person to be around. Sometimes we didn’t see her—only the results of her work showed us: aha, Eva was here! She is conscientious and hardworking.

I stayed for one week in this wonderful Workaway place helping Abdelghafour and Joudy to make bricks from mud. The work was physically really hard and to be honest I wasn’t sure how I could be able to do that work for one week.. But my body got used to it somehow and I got mental support from the super positive atmosphere we had there. … read more

Eva brought a special energy to the work day! She always managed to make things work, even if they weren't ideal. Even though shy and quiet at first, once she feels comfortable you will never have a dull moment! Thank you Eva for being prepared for the mud mixing! and for the conversations.

I stayed one week at Karen’s place. My work was mainly cutting some small trees and watching bonfires. It was a hot week and some of the work was also quite physical.

Eva is a lovely person and a big help. She is quiet which helps with the wallabies about.
Her English is much better than my Finnish lol!
Just be clear because sometimes she doesn’t understand.
She’s easy to live with and does her own thing.
I wish you well Eva, you are welcome back any time.

Eva was truly exceptional. I did not think so upon meeting her as she is so soft spoken. What I noticed consistently, however, in her two weeks with us is that she is so attentive. I never needed to say anything twice, remind her, and almost as soon as I mentioned a task that needed to be done it would be complete. I think what worked very well … read more
