Find out why this is the happiest country, in Lavia, Finland

  Descrição

  I've always been a bit of a poor traveler myself, even though I have a great interest in meeting people from different parts of the world. During my studies, I worked as a tutor and guide for our exchange students at school, which left me with many good friends. Nowadays, I (male, born in 1988) work full-time and live in a small village in western Finland.
  
  Even though our village is small, we have beautiful postcard-like landscapes (see my pictures) that I try to visit from time to time to relax and clear my mind. I want to create and offer a positive image of Finland, as this is a good country to live in.
  
  I have a small, modern apartment here, but my family's old farm and the lakeside cabin are also located in the same village. We don't have any farm animals anymore, but I have a cat and guinea pigs. So there will be hair on your clothes, sorry for that.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Finland is the happiest country in the world, now for the seventh time in a row (2024). Maybe you travelers can spot the small things in everyday life here that make us the happiest country.
  
  We can't forget the Finnish sauna culture and our clean nature, with its four distinct seasons, and how these elements are integral to our everyday life.
  
  Finnish people can be a bit hard to approach, but when you manage to build a friendship with a Finn, it's a lifelong friendship.

  Ajuda

  The help we need involves cleaning, organizing, maintaining and doing small repairs both inside and outside. Example projects include cleaning the cellar and an old pigsty, cutting down small trees and bushes, collecting wood and painting buildings.
  
  Alternatively, you might help me work towards my gym and exercise goals as a personal trainer.
  
  There is always something to do here, but I can only host as many people as I can give my full energy and attention to. I want to make sure I can give each Workawayer enough time, attention and a warm welcome so that your stay is as pleasant and culturally rich as possible. For me, it is important that we also have time to connect, share meals and exchange stories, not just work side by side.
  
  If you have skills in building or improving small wooden structures, such as making shelters or terraces, or if you can do small maintenance tasks on roofs without fear of heights, you are especially welcome to contact me. For people with these skills, I can almost always make room in my calendar. We can even plan your visit far in advance, spending time getting to know each other before you arrive.
  
  My calendar is marked in yellow, but please feel free to reach out anytime.

  Acomodação

  We have multiple accommodation options, but mainly a small room in my apartment. There could be a chance to stay at our cabin too. It's not a luxury cabin, but you will get the outhouse experience with a nice view. We can discuss these options further.
  
  We provide a warm meal twice a day, prepared by me, and there is always food and snacks available when hunger strikes.

  Algo mais...

  Our village is quite small, but we can find many evening and weekend activities for you. For example, you can explore nature or engage in sports activities. We have a nice small town nearby, but public transportation is non-existent. However, we have bikes, and we can discuss what you would like to see. I can help with transportation using my car.

  Enya (2 anos)

  Enya is a British Longhair and a spayed female cat. At first, she may seem a little cautious, but it usually only takes about ten minutes before she’s ready to ask for attention and cuddles from new people.
