Description
We are a semi-retired couple that lives in Smithers, the prettiest town you can imagine. Mountains, the Bulkley River, forest and alpine wilderness. We are firm that our volunteer be a non-smoker. We have bikes, skis, and snowshoes to lend. We do not eat a lot of meat, please keep that in mind if you are a serious carnivore :)
We are both teachers so English language improvement will be easy! We live on 5 acres adjacent to trails that lead to downtown Smithers in less than 10 minutes. The forest is right out the door, mountain biking and hiking trails are within 5 minutes too. Wildlife is abundant, from our deck you could easily see rabbits, moose, deer, and in the right season, a bear. At night you might hear coyotes too.: ask us for video links
Hiking to waterfalls and the Kathlyn Glacier are easily accessed by nearby trailheads. The town itself has a great farmer's market, restaurants, breweries, and local artisan shops. Smithers is accessible by car, passenger train, and we have a commercial airport. downtown: ask us for video links
We are humbled to live and house Workaway friends on the unneeded territory of Wet'suwet'en People. Please learn a bit about them before you come.
