Description

Hi! My name is Inka and I'm a cheery 30 yo young woman from Helsinki, Finland.

I’m studying IT business here in Helsinki and working part time in grocery stores. The flat where I'm living is going under renovation later this year so after summer I'm going to do my studies online and travel! My plan is to escape somewhere warmer from September onwards :-)

I did my first workaway during Covid, in 2021 in Greece. This year (2026) I did a short term house and cat sitting in Portugal. For now I am open for plans for the end of the year. It seems for September and possibly October too I will be in Italy. After that? I'm hoping Latin America! So I will be looking for hosts from Costa Rica, Columbia, Guatemala, Mexico for November and December :-) Possibly back home for christmas. I'd love to learn more Spanish!

Have a read and do send me a message if you’d like to talk with me :-)

More details about your skills

I have some IT skills that I could try to help with if needed.
On both of my previous workaways I helped taking care of cats.
In Syros in Greece more extensively - not only feeding the cats but also giving them medicine and cleaning after them etc. In Greece amd Portugal I also worked a bit in the garden.
I have worked customer service jobs for years and I love working with people. I've also done some volunteer work for example with elderly people.

I am a city girl, also quite demanding of myself, so what I can offer for a host is my willingness to learn. I may not have experience on a lot of things but if it’s something one can learn by watching and doing, I’d be happy to do my best! :-)

What else ...

I do love to travel, and I love learning languages and learning about different cultures and countries, and meeting new people. I also love nature, which is why I dream of countries that have mountains and beaches. As a Finn I really want to escape the dark and cold winters. What I also love are people. I am quite a social person and I love chatting with people from different cultures. Something that I also need to mention is my love for music. Sometimes live music has been the only thing to bring me tears of joy. Singing and dancing gives me great happiness.

Sustainability is a big value for me and something I'd love to learn more about. I’m not a vegetarian or vegan but I do not require meat, I’m happy to get more influence on this too.

To be able to travel I need to do some studying online, so a functioning wi-fi is a requirement for me.

I’m dreaming of countries like Italy, Portugsl, Greek islands, Malta, Spain. I am open to other countries too for sure! What I’m looking for is beautiful nature. Mountains and ocean are the dream. Anything green and lush really.

For my future, I don't have a clear picture of my future career. One dream would be to work for an international charity. For now my plan is to work for a Finnish travel agency, as a travel guide, after I finish my studies. Which should be in 2027 :-)
