WE: We have been hosting workawayers for many years and love having this little internatiol touch in our everyday life here. We are a couple (40+ years) living in the countryside of southern Finland.
We have two dogs (Lapponian herders), two cats and during the summertime also some summer chickens. Our house is located in the countryside, but not in any deep counryside or in total silence (unfortunately), as the city of Tampere is reachable by car in only half an hour. After the capital region, Tampere is the second biggest city in Finland with its 240 000 inhabitants.
We like peaceful and quiet country living, animals and nature. Our hobbies include photography, board games, outdoors, animals, reading and travelling. Riitta also rides horses and goes at the gym and in cultural events in the city. Kari is an entrepreneur at the field of green technology and Riitta, despite or her geography degree, works for the state doing a customer service job.
We can send you our photos before you arrive, so that you get to see us beforehand :).
YOU: We hope you like animals and can take care of our pets. We hope you could take care of the tasks here quite independently, as we can't be around during the daytime because of our work. Please also be prepared to cook your food by yourself, dependings on your diet and on our daily schedules.
In you free time you can for example:
- walk and go jogging
- borrow our bikes for biking excursions in the countryside
- spend time with our animals and in our yard
- pick forest and garden berries and mushrooms depending on the season
- use our wooden sauna and hot tub in the backyard
- There are many trail riding stables nearby, but if you'd like to horseback ride here, that should usually be booked well beforehand- let us know, if you are interested in that.
- do some travelling or trekking/hiking
- go to explore the city of Tampere: There are many possibilities for the freetime.
- rent a canoe, kayak or stand-up baddle board (we don't have these, but there are companies renting them)
- swim in the lakes and go rowing by using our rowing boat
- borrow our board or outdoor games
There are bus connections to the city, but they are very limited here in the countryside. We are also able to offer lifts for you, depending on our schedules.

Manutenção geral
We try our best to take you as a part of our everyday life here.
We have some hiking & camping gear, which you may borrow.
Your main job would be to walk our dogs while we are at work. Lapponian herders are pretty big and active dogs and bark & pull easily. We hope that you are able to walk on all kind of weather (sometimes it may rain often) and manage with big and active dogs. We expect a minimum of one hour of walk daily.
Other tasks are household tasks, cooking food for everyone, little carpentry works, picking berries, different outdoor tasks in our yard, road maintenance work and taking care of our other animals. In the spring/summer 2022 we need a new dog fence and firewood for the next winter.
When you arrive, we will give you a list of the tasks. There are both one time tasks (for example washing windows) and repetitive tasks (such as taking care of our chickens). With one time tasks, you can choose what you are able to do- we don't expect everyone to cook for us or to be able to do some carpentry.
