Description
I live in Åland, The Aland Islands, in Scandinavia. Åland is an autonomy belonging to Finland with own parliament and government. 27000 people in a beautiful archipelago with thousends of islands. I live in the countryside in a traditional old, big house with a large garden. I need help to put the garden asleep for winter and to finish some projects.
I work during daytime and you will be alone a lot.
You share my home with me with own bedrooms in the house. I love cooking and will prepare lunch before I leave for work.
I need help every end of October and beginning of November, arrival time can be discussed. You work maximum 5 hours, 5 days a week. My suggestion is that you keep your free days in the week, then you can come with me to the town, Mariehamn, visit museums or whatever you like and take a local bus back home. Or, if you are naturelovers, you can just make hiking tours in the beautiful surroundings.
You need to be prepared to work outdoors. The weather can be everything from sunny days plus 10-15 C-degrees to wet around zero.
I am 64, have travelled a lot, love foreign cultures and meeting new people.
I accept smokers, not drugs.

You will have an opportunity to learn to know this very special demilitarized autonomy. If possible I will take you around the main island and show you the major sights.
I can also teach some Swedish if wanted.
Aide
Cutting down plants and climbers, turning compost, some smaller stone- and gravelprojects. Rainy days you help me to organize things inside a yardbuilding.
Langues parlées
Allemand: Courant
Anglais: Courant
Hébergement
One bedroom with a double bed, one with a queensize bed.
I provide all the meels, mostly based on local ingredients. I eat almost everything myself but cooking vegetarian is no problem.
Autres infos...
I expect my guests to be openminded with no prejudices. This is a tolerant, bohemian home where laugh and discussions about everything is welcome.
But your evenings can be lonely so you need to get along with that. I have some books in English.
There is a local bus in weekdays if you want to go to town.
If you travel from the continent the best way to get to Åland is via Stockholm where you can take a connecting bus to a ferry to Mariehamn where I meet. The ticket costs less than 20 euros.

Titte is a kind, rare and special person. She allow me to live a great experience.
The job is totally manual, but I love to arrive at the end of day a little bit phisically tired and mentally relaxed. The garden is quite big and totally beautiful.
I have to say thank you for everything.

Titte was very friendly and kindness.
All meal of everyday were creative and so delicious.
So we can do the work,but it isn't hard.
Although it was winter, inside of the house is warm and very comfortable!
It was awesome!
To be honest I was a little bit nervous when I stood in the harbour waiting for you - would it be OK to have some total strangers in my home?
Now I know the answer: YES!
Magdalena and Mabel, you made me so convinced that hosting is a great thing. I will warmly recommend you to anyone.
