More details about your skills

I am currently living in Finland on a husky farm, so I am comfortable with all aspects of farm life and dog life. I know how to set up sleighs, harness and care for dogs and drive sleighs as well. I am comfortable with being out in extreme weather.

I am also very comfortable with horses. I have worked on farms in Canada and New Zealand. I have been riding for about ten years.

I love to travel and experience new things. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty!

I spent over a month with Ria and had the most amazing time. She is an incredibly kind, welcoming and intelligent woman who made me feel at home from the moment I stepped in the door with open arms and a contagious smile. Her communication was so clear and she was very flexible and accommodating to make sure I could experience her farm.

Ria has … read more

Beautiful souls like Kate restore ones faith in humanity, they remind you of why you opened your door, and to continue to do so.

Kate stayed over a month with us. She emersed herself into the farm life and adopted the furry babies as her own, she loved, and genuinely cared for them. She was part of the family and whomever met her just loved her. … read more

Kate is the incarnation of every nice thing you may have heard from Canada and canadians. Plus she laughs big time, she loves and has a way with animals, and she has some incredible stories to tell (and best of all, bear stories).

But she’s not only pink niceness, no siree! She can bring back a log on her shoulder while taming and training a wild … read more

I spent around one month with Magali and Hector at the beginning of the year. It was an amazing experience. I learned so much about sustainable living and building. They are some of the most welcoming and easy to talk to people I have ever met. I had so much fun, from milking goats, finding supplies in the wild, foraging, to making homemade … read more

Kate was nothing short of amazing. She hit the ground running with every task and she was always keen to do more and help as much as possible. She was a pleasure to have at our farm and we really miss her. Kate was enthusiastic, with a can-do attitude. Kate quickly adapted to new tasks and we'd highly recommend her for any position she applies … read more

Is it possible to give 6/5? I absolutely loved my time with Jamie, Lyn and Charli! The accommodation was lovely, horses well behaved, two adorable dogs, and a host family I could rant about for ages. I felt so welcomed and comfortable with Jamie and Lyn, it really felt like I'd found my home away from home. Not to mention the added perks of daily … read more
