    Hello,
    My name is Sara, I’m a 22-year-old woman from Finland.
    I love being close to nature and feel happiest living in places where its present. I enjoy hands-on work and like feeling useful wherever I stay. I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, outdoor work, creative projects, or whatever is part of daily life.
    I have some experience with animals — cats, dogs, chickens, and a little with ponies — and I would love to learn more. I’m especially interested in cooking, gardening, herbs, eco-building, massage, and other practical skills connected to simple and sustainable living. I’m also curious about boat building, maintenance, and sailing. One day I would love to understand the sea better and maybe learn surfing too.
    I grew up in a forest in a national park, which gave me a strong connection to nature from childhood. Living close to the land feels very natural to me. At the same time, I grew up a bit in my own little bubble, so I feel very grateful for the experiences I’ve had traveling and discovering different worlds outside of it.
    Over the past years I’ve traveled and volunteered around Europe, sometimes hitchhiking alone and sometimes with friends. We lived very simply while backpacking. In Finland I’ve mostly worked on construction sites doing lighter cleaning work.
    Right now I’m studying at a vocational circus school in Finland and training to become a professional circus artist (I will graduate in 2027). My dream is to become a professional circus teacher, because learning circus gave me so much. And to train together with my friends.


    During the summers I’m free to travel for shorter periods. I can also share some basic circus skills like tight-wire balancing and aerial acrobatics if people are curious. Through school I’m also learning about creating performances and working closely with a team.
    I enjoy being active and working outdoors, especially in small groups. In my free time I like painting, drawing, and making things with my hands. I enjoy days where I can move my body and work, and evenings where people gather, share food, talk, or sing together.
    I have ADHD, so I do best with a clear daily rhythm, enough rest and good food, and calm communication. When I’m focused I can work deeply for long periods. I also have IBS and follow a specific diet (no gluten, dairy, beans, or similar foods). I’m completely happy to cook separately for myself if needed — I just like to get comfortable in the kitchen first.
    I don’t drink alcohol or use substances, and I value genuine and kind connections. I can be a little shy at first, but once I feel settled I’m warm and social. I really enjoy being part of a community and having life around me.
    If you feel I might be a good fit for your place, I would be very happy to hear from you and learn more about your daily life.

    I hope to hear from you,

    Sara

  • More details about your skills

    I know something about cooking, but my repertuar could be wider. I'm currently interested in learning medicinal plants.

    I like to work on a farm. I have experience on a small farm.

    love arts! I'm getting back to aerial acrobatics after a 7 years of break, and I can teach what I know about acrobatics.

    I have previous work experience on a construction site, in a circus (trapeze artist), and as a leader at a children’s nature camp. I have also been part of many different art programs, camps and in festival organizing and customer service. Also street performances we can make happen.
