Descrição
We are Meri 50 and Fredrik 42, living at country side and really enjoying it. We live 6km away from little town called Nykarleby/Uusikaarlepyy. It is located into swedish-talking region on Finnish west coast.
Our home is 300m from gulf of Baltic Sea, surrounded by fields and forest. We have here 2 horses, 1 shetland pony, 9 hen and 1 rooster, big silver rabbits, 4 dogs (1 company dog, 2 hunting dogs, 1 australian terrier) and 1 snake. We warm the house with wood.
Meri is a Green Care coach and practical nurse, bachelor of social services and Instructor of socio-pedagogical equine activities. She works now for exchange student organization at home office. Fredrik is a wilderness guide, but he is home also because of broken back. Fredriks 19 years old son is living with us.
We like outdoor life, camp fire, forest hikes, fishing, hunting and country life.
Meri is right now working at home office. We are also support family for miners who has special needs.
We need help with cleaning horse paddocks, chopping wood, gardening, painting stable building, renovating guest house and maybe sometimes helping with animals.
We have one guest room for work-a-way. Dogs are spending time inside, so you cant be allergic for them. We have smoking-free household. If you use alcohol, we hope you can behave yourself.
