Description
Hi, I'm 52 years old single woman from Finland. I'm positive, outspoken and get along with all kinds of people well. I have 2 adult child and 2 grandchild.

My hobbies are horseback riding, mounted archery, hiking, walking, reading, kayaking & canoeing and outdoors. I'm entrepeneur, nature and wilderness guide and I take people out to nature.

I love traveling, seeing new places, meet new people and learn about different cultures. Best way to do that is to stay with local people and live like them. I have lived in USA and Cyprus, so I'm flexible and get along fine in different environments.

I have a self coverted van built by myself, so I´m pretty handy with fixing things too and know how to use many different power tools. I live in that van when I'm traveling. So I'm pretty handy with fixing things. My van is 7 meters long, 3,4 meters high and I might need to charge the batteries sometimes, even so that it has solar panel. So showers, drinking water and food is what I at least basicly need on my stay. And sometimes is just nice to sleep in a house :)

I can't wait to see new places and meet new people!

It has been a real pleasure to work and exchange with Marjo. She is a very nice and available person. She is extremely competent. She helped me a lot and supported me in the daily work on the farm. I highly recommend her and hope to see her again at the farm.
