    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live 30 km outside of Golden BC overlooking the Columbia Wetlands. Golden itself is situated in between 4 national parks offering lots of hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, rafting, fishing, etc.
    Alexis' mother tongue is spanish, therefore we woudl love to have any spanish enthusiasts as well as spanish speaker... and just maybe Matt will decide to learn heheheh.
    Matt teaches every year bushcraft and survival in the wild which can be very useful in so many scenarios. He is always happy and excited to teach new skills.

    Accommodation

    Type of accommodation is camping, so be prepared for that. We will provide tents and bedding if needed. We can also show you some basic survival camping as well. Shower and bathroom can be used inside the house.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Due to the fact that we live in a rural area, internet is limited.
    Helpers can go and do a variety of outdoor activities in their time off. There is no public transport in Golden and surrounding areas. We are willing to help organize rides into town or activities when possible.
    From our house you can go on long walks, biking areas and even some little hikes.
    We do eat lots of meat, therefore this would not be the best place for any vegan travelers. Its is a self catering (from our fridge) for breakfast and lunch, however, dinner will be cooked with all of us together as well as the clean up afterwards.
