Description
I live on 3/4 of an acre on one of the most beautiful islands in the world: Vashon Island. We are a short ferry ride and a world away from downtown Seattle, Washington. The property has a large yard with a garden and a barn that functions as an art studio.
I am looking for a single person without pets. This is a no smoking property. You would be staying in the loft that is in the main house, I reside in a small cabin alongside. There is a private bathroom for your use, and we would share kitchen and laundry facilities.
I would enjoy help with my garden and other projects such as cleaning, painting and help with the computer. I am an artist who works in cast glass. I really love to meet people from other countries, especially Scandinavia, Europe and Japan. Work hours are flexible. My house is within walking distance of the dock for the ferry to Seattle. The Vashon bus stops only a block away. There is no need for a car in this convenient location.Types of help and learning opportunities

Travelers would see a rural, very friendly island with many artists and musicians. Vashon has a rich diversity of cultural and sports opportunities. If that isn't enough, Seattle, a world class city is only 20 minutes away by ferry.
Help
I would appreciate help with the garden, cleaning, painting walls and outdoor furniture, help with computer would be great.
