Descrição
Hi. I'm Outi from Finland. Just reached my retirement age and now in Western Australia, heading to Tasmania
and to New Zealand in December. From February back to Australia again.
I have been working for the humanitarian NGO for the last 30 years and now happy to have more time for myself. I like gardening, nature, animals and decoration such as painting walls. I'm pretty good in organizing many thing, whether kitchen cupboards or warehouse.
I often dream of sunbathing on the beach, but I bored less than 10 minutes. I rather do something small. Thats we I find Work Away perfect for me.
In 2023 I joint the Trusted House sitting and took care of fur animals in two places in England and two in Portugal. Spring 2024 I spent 3 months in Australia doing mainly Work Away, but also two house sitting.
In Finland I did Pawshake, so I took care of cats and dogs in my own house.

We have no hesitation at all in recommending Outi to anyone who is lucky enough to hear from her. She was a total pleasure to have around and she is a hard worker. We had great chats and the dogs absolutely loved her! Wishing you the very best Outi for your ongoing travels!

It was a pleasure to have Outi - she is mature and sees what needs to be done. The garden on my roof was much improved after her mammoth effort there. She had a swim in the pool under the waterfall and really appreciated the natural surroundings. We had a Finnish heritage in common, plus I learned a lot about her African experiences.

Esther is living in the paradise. The area and house are so beautiful, that I was almost speechless. Lovely details everywhere. And how many people would have their own waterfall where you can swim?
I did weeding at the green roof, so the views were stunning. I had my own room and bathoom. Ester bought bread and dairy products for me and she made… read more

I stayed at Sarah's place for 5 days with my broken shoulder. She accepted that before my arrival. There were lots of things to and I felt bad because I was not able to do much. She is a strong and independant lady and I was suprised what she has gone through in her life. However she is very warm and sensitive person as well when you get to know… read more

Outi stayed for a short time, but left a remarkable positive attitude to helping me and enjoying my company. Gem is a word easily used to describe her.
Thankyou for your time with me, sad it was not longer and more interesting to learn more about this remarkable place where forests from Gondwanaland still exist.
Happy travels.
Sarah

When Outi arrived we went through the list of tasks to see if she had a preference. She is a keen painter so we ticked that one and we both agreed working on the fire pit area would be a great project. Outi can work very comfortably independently and is an absolute pleasure to have around as she is so easy to get along with and also has great… read more

Suse is a wonderful person. If you believe in angels on earth, so she might be one of them. Very kind and positive person, who often smiles and hugs people. She just makes people around happy by being herself.
Suse is living in the very remote area, so there is no public transportation near by. She picked me up from one of the small towns and… read more

Outi was an absolute pleasure to host. She is kind, considerate and helpful (without being interfering) and yet had a great sense of independance and adventure. We admire her spirit and courage, and very much appreciated all the help she gave particularly at a very delicate time with the severe illness of one of our little dogs. And the bonus was… read more

Outi is a gem of a woman. I really enjoyed her presence here and miss her already. She is very attuned to what is needed in the environment or task and is so generous in offering suggestions or taking initiative to make things as good as possible. Her thoroughness and attention to detail meant all the tasks she was given she did so well, including… read more

It was a pleasure to have Outi stay with us. Outi helped us with sanding, painting, weeding, prorogating and planting. We made lots of progress with our projects. There was a lot to learn about different weeds however Outi took this in her stride. Outi was always cheerful, thought about the task she was doing and got it done. She asked questions… read more

If any hosts are fortunate to host Outi, you won't ever want her to leave, other than to wish her a wonderful new adventure. Outi is one of the most considerable, capable, inclusive person I have had the pleasure to meet.

Hi. I stayed with Kari for 10 nice days and it was fun. She is a real personality with very warm heart, but she is also very crazy in a good way. I get along with her very well and so did the others in the house. She shouts a lot, but that is part of her humor🙂.
