Description

Hello! :)
I’m a kind-hearted and grounded person from Finland who values a simple and meaningful life, nature, animals, and genuine connections with people.

I’m solo traveling in Southern Spain for one more month. I'm looking for volunteering work in or close to Alicante or Murcia from March 12th–22nd. (Or little more far if transportation is arranged). I'm open to different kinds of volunteering tasks but especially interested in farm stays, pet sitting, gardening, and general maintenance.

I live a healthy, smoke- and alcohol-free, peaceful life and feel most at home close to nature and quiet places. I'm interested in learning more about off-grid living and organic farming.

I don't have a car but I do have a driver’s license. I will use English for communication and I’m currently practicing Spanish. I’m also happy to teach some Finnish if there’s interest.

I grew up with dogs and cats, and animals have always been a natural part of my everyday life. For nearly ten years I lived on a farm in Finland where we had Highland cattle, which gave me a deeper understanding of rural living and responsibility in a countryside environment.

I truly enjoy being in peaceful natural surroundings and contributing in practical ways. I’m tidy, conscientious, and adaptable, and I respect the spaces and routines of the people I stay with. Whether helping with animals, garden tasks, or general household support, I approach things calmly and with care.

More details about your skills

I have several house- and pet-sitting experiences, mainly caring for cats and dogs. I genuinely enjoy looking after different kinds of animals and taking good care of a home.

I recently completed a Workaway experience where I helped with gardening and general home care. I enjoy working outdoors and would love to gain more hands-on experience with gardening and growing food.

I lived for around ten years on a farm in Finland, so I’m familiar with rural life and basic outdoor tasks. While I don’t have extensive practical farm work experience, I’m genuinely interested in learning more about sustainable and off-grid living and contributing to different kinds of countryside projects.

I’m comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a home, and I’m reliable, practical, and willing to learn new skills. I’m happy to help wherever needed and approach new tasks with a positive and open attitude.
