Description

Hola, soy Timo de Finlandia. Mucho gusto! I have been traveling in Peru for close to two months now. Everything I have read and heard about the country has fascinated me. I'm inspired to learn about local culture, shamanism, language and nature.

Finland has a long and dark winter. I like spending time in warmer climates, where people and nature are more lively. I have been to Brazil before, and this is my first time in Peru. I'm hoping to connect with people who can help me, and who I can help in return.

More details about your skills

I am skilled at organizing people, events and households, cooking nourishing food and, in general, taking responsibility and initiative. I've worked as a caretaker of the old and disabled, and I've taught guitar for many years. I'm good with my hands, fixing or building computers and other devices, and I can also sharpen knives and chop firewood.

I have graduated from the Jyväskylä university as a master of musicology. Several associations have had me as a chairman, and I've organized volunteer teams in many festivals.

Age

41

What else ...

My interests in Peru include shamanism, medicinal plants, language, native culture, music, events, plants, animals and local cuisine.

I like to play all sorts of games, both board games and computer games, and I'm can join a jam wherever there's a guitar to play.

I practice presence in the moment, observing my emotions, thoughts and whatever is happening, and I do so with the help of deep breathing, meditation and yoga. I'm happy to share these things with anyone interested.
