Description

Hi, I'm 54 years old active single woman from Finland. I'm positive, outspoken and get along with all kinds of people well. I have 2 adult children and 2 grandchild

I do also house and petsitting during winter time.

My hobbies are horseback riding, mounted archery, hiking, walking, reading, kayaking & canoeing and outdoors. I'm nature entrepeneur, nature and wilderness guide and I take people out to nature. I,m also a security guard and work on music festivals, conserts, events etc.

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 in Finland full time and sometimes I travel around Europe with my van. It is 7 meters long, 3,4 meters high and I might need to charge the batteries sometimes, even so that there is solar panel system. So shower, drinking water and food is what I at least basicly need on my stay if I'm traveling with van. Sometimes I pack my backbag and start my journey with plane, train and bus.

I have had a farm of my own, so I'm used to do farm work with different farm animals and tasks. I have experience with horses and ponies, donkeys, sheep, goats, alpacas and llamas, chicken, dogs (also guardian dogs), cats, ducks, geese, rabbits, quails, guinea pigs, hamsters and aquariums.

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

I have plenty of experience taking care of animals like horses, donkeys, sheep, potbelly pigs, chicken, dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters and aquariums. I used to own a farm, so I'm familiar with many farm works. I have been riding horses over 30 years.

I have also built my own conversion van and fully renovated a few houses.
