Description
We are a finnish-persian family of four, with mom Eija (42), dad Javad (54) and two daughters Vilma (12) and Sahar(5). We live in the middle of Eastern Finland forrest on one hectacre of land. Our home is an old and big village school. We try to live as ecologically and self sustained as possible. We have a large green house and vegetable garden where we grow our own veggies and herbs. We have three cats (except in spring time when they make kittens, we might have more, like this year we had eleven kittens(!!)). We also have an old and kind guard dog Rusko and some thirty chicken.
Last summer we started our own small family business, a food truck that we take around festivals and other happenings during the summer. As a hobby Eija does all kinds of outdoor activities and handcrafts, sings, does yoga and teaches it in the nearby village. Javad is a pranayama, kung fu and contact improvisation practicioner. In general we are simple people and enjoy normal life and it's daily activities.
We were thinking it'd be great to travel a bit and show our kids around the world, so this fall we made a decision to pack our bags and go to see Europe. We'd like the journey to be as educational, active and inclusive as possible so this workaway project feels like made for us.
We have a caravan trailer, so all we need we are carrying with us.
We are hoping to find hosts, that can give a spot to our caravan and can host families. We can offer help in many different areas of work. We bot are skilled at cooking and can help making meals and baking. Javad is skilled in all kinds of renovation and DIY projects and loves chopping and cutting wood. Eija is skilled around garden and can help around the house cleanig, taking care of kids and animals, and also can help and teach to do handcrafts.
