  Description

  Greetings! We are Joonatan and Agnessa, married Christian couple, we have a small homestead here in South Karelia. We have a garden and some farm animals. Our place is located 60km from Lappeenranta, but once a week we visit Helsinki which is 2 hours of drive. We eat all, but we are following religion fasting traditions, and we're not demanding visitors to follow them. So the food we offer varies by the day. We try to grow our food, and aim to self-sufficiency in the future. We're also learning simple life and establishing a new off grid base in more remote place near our current house. We are home sitting people and all our activities, beside visiting church, mostly focuses on our homestead routine. Can't offer much entertainment. There's not a TV either... But we can offer our company and share the same home and food with you. We are looking for a person more like a family member, and who is thinking alike. Perhaps, if you are too social and need a connection with the "civilisation", there will be no chemistry, but if you are conservative and like older lifestyle, there's a chance! I speak Finnish, English and my wife speaks English and Russian, she is more artistic, and I am a builder.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  If you have your own house on wheels, we can offer a spot of wilderness next to a lake, but it's not that close to our living house, so you'll be mostly alone there. There's not much space next to our homestead, but might find a spot there as well.
