  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Experiencing living in an average Finnish house in a small town. Near my house there are different nature trails and two lakes so it's a good opportunity to see Southern Finnish nature.

  Ajuda

  Update 06/2025 - It would be great to welcome someone, to help with the renovation of the old sauna in the garden. There could be more than one workawayer here for that project. DIY experience required.
  
  I'm looking for someone to give me a hand with my garden and different projects around the house. There's always something to do in a big house with a big garden. I have to work Mon-Fri office hours, so I can only join in the work during the evenings and weekends. I let you decide for yourself if you prefer working in the day time or evenings, and if you prefer working longer days and then have some days off completely. In exchange for your help, I'll invite you to stay in my home and I'll introduce you to Finnish culture.
  
  Here are some projects on my to-do-list:
  - There's an old wood burning sauna in the garden, that needs renovating as it's not usable currently. This would involve removing the old ceiling and building a new one, stripping old wood panels from the walls and installing new ones, removing paint work from two old wooden windows and then giving them a new coat of paint, installing new benches for the sauna, etc.
  - Old wooden swing set needs painting (and removing the old paint before that)
  - Two small fences need painting and repairing
  - Few old flower beds need complete refreshing
  
  Aside from the help with the house and garden, during my holidays I'm looking for someone to come and look after my two senior cats. My cats are friendly 16-year olds but with their age, this is not suitable for a family with small children. The person / persons looking after the cats should have experience with senior cats and giving them medication.

  If it's during my holiday, my cats need feeding 3 times a day including giving medication once a day.
  For DIY projects I'd prefer someone who already has experience, as I'm not sure I'll have the best skills myself to teach anyone.
