More details about your skills
Been doing a lot of sports so can show you how to juggle or how to do a backflip. Also been working as a substitute teacher for ages 9-15 for a little while. Kinda jack-of-all-trades when it comes to skills and also a quick learner. Farming experience from weeding to creating an irrigation system from scratch. I've been doing volunteering as a lumberjack so I know how to handle my chainsaw. I've worked in a kitchen as a pizza chef as well. Outgoing guy with pretty solid English and Finnish. Also know Swedish from school but wouldn't brag with my skills.
Age
22
What else ...
I've been practicing carpentry and I've already build a couple of sheds and a roof for a trailer. Worked as a warehouse worker in Finland carrying heavy items so I'm well on my way to start looking like a greek statue. Experience in creating and editing content for social media. Can throw partygames and other group activities. I'm also able to play instruments such as guitar, piano and harmonica to name a few. My singing is getting there slowly hahhahha

I had the pleasure of working with Art for quite a while as my one week turned into 13 of them before I even noticed. From the first time I stepped into the house I fell in love with the place. It was just so good compared to what I’m used to seeing and hearing about. A shared opinion between the volunteers was that you wont find a place like this… read more

Arttu is an extraordinary individual who possesses a rare combination of youth, maturity, and an unwavering commitment to hard work. From the moment he joined our team, it was evident that he possessed a remarkable set of skills and a natural untapped talent for leadership. Despite his young age, Arttu's level of maturity surpassed expectations,… read more allowing him to excel in every task assigned to him.

Arttu's versatility and proficiency in various areas were truly awe-inspiring. Whether it was operating machinery, troubleshooting and repairing equipment, or setting up intricate irrigation systems, he approached each task with precision and expertise. His ability to adapt quickly and efficiently to new challenges was a testament to his dedication and unwavering work ethic.

What made Arttu even more exceptional was his background as a proud citizen of Finland. His experiences growing up in a country known for its strong work ethic and dedication to punctuality were reflected in his own values and actions. Arttu consistently showed up promptly, ready to tackle the day's responsibilities with enthusiasm and determination, and all of this after he had already dedicated time to his morning gym session.

To our delight, Arttu extended his stay beyond his initial plans, gracing us with his help for a longer period of time than originally anticipated. Eventually, his adventurous spirit beckoned him to explore the vast wilderness of Northern Canada. Fueling his passion for discovery, he made the bold decision to purchase a car and embark on an extended journey through sparsely populated territories. While we were sad to see him depart, we wholeheartedly supported his pursuit of new adventures.

As Arttu sets off on his travels, we can't help but feel a tinge of nostalgia for the days he spent as an integral part of our team. His presence, dedication, and remarkable leadership skills left an indelible mark on our farm. We are immensely grateful for his contributions and the positive impact he had on our work environment.

Although our paths may temporarily diverge, we remain hopeful for the opportunity to reconnect with Arttu in the future. His contagious energy and unwavering commitment to excellence make him a truly remarkable individual. We wish him all the best on his journey through Northern Canada, confident that his brave and adventurous spirit will guide him to extraordinary experiences. May he continue to embrace new challenges, forge new connections, and create lifelong memories.
