Terraced house in Turku, Finland

We are Hannu and Tiina, both 62 years old. Two years ago we made an early retirement decision. Basically we are able to travel anytime. We both are non-smokers. We enjoy the adventure of exploring new and different countries and cities.

Our comfortably-furnished terraced house is bright and cozy.There are two bathrooms, both with shower, and three bedrooms. Four persons sleeps well in our bedrooms. We also have a personal sauna. We have a wireless broadband system in our house.

Our neighborhood is a friendly and safe area.

We have done 13 great home exhanges: Holland, Italy x 2, Spain, France, Belgium, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Switzeland, Ireland,Texas and Canada.

To Helsinki by bus or by train

It is very easy to go there. Busses to Helsinki ( it takes around 2 hours) are passing our home (1 km)

or you can take a train (railwaystation is 1,5 km from us). They both leave you to the centrum of Helsinki.

To Tallinn by bus and by ferry
Ferrys to Tallinn leave from Helsinki. It takes only 45 min to Tallinn by a Superfast Ferry

After retirement we have been travelling a lot. The only thing which holds us up is grand children. Don´t hesitate to contact us. We might be interested. During Covid time, we also found a new way to travel: we bought a campervan.
