Description
Hey there! My name is Joy.
I have a beautiful home on 5 acres, surrounded by nature, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I am looking to host one or two people at a time. The help required during your stay will vary between cooking, housekeeping, and basic yard work.
You are self motivated, take initiative, if you see something that needs to be done, and have a strong work ethic.
I share this home with my son and daughter, we have 4 loving dogs and 3 cats between us.
We are all passionate about healthy eating, gluten free, and we are dabbling with keto. We love sitting around our bonfire in the evenings, meditating in the mornings (mostly, we are trying to get back into this) and hiking.
We are located, 15 minutes from Skutz Falls, a beautiful river you can hike along; 20 minutes from Mount Tzouhelum trail head, it will take you up to breathtaking views overlooking the Cowichan Valley, 25 minutes from a beautiful, lake and only 10 minutes from the heart of downtown Duncan.
I have hosted many Workaways over the last 9 years, many of whom, have come back 2-3 times and 2 who have stayed for over 7 months. Ideally, I am looking for 2-4 week stays, but open to longer stays if it is the right fit for everyone.
Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
