    Beschreibung

    I live in a fantastic area, 5min from a 105km long lake and surrounded by mountains. I have a cat and a large fenced yard and a few fruit trees which sadly I can’t take care of this year. Unfortunately my spouse is no help as he’s away most of the time and I’m recovering slowly from a head injury that happened 3.5 years ago.
    I’m 54, and not back to work yet. Since a few weeks only I can drive short distances without nausea. I'm in pain and tired all day long - so I’m really behind in most ordinary house projects. Not mentioning maintenance projects.
    When I do have a good day, I’d like to be with someone to head to the lake for a paddle or a swim, or for going to town, the closest being Nelson, BC, Canada.
    Company would be enjoyable, especially when I’m running out of energy.
    I do have a few instruments (piano, cello, violin...) which need to be played!
    I speak French, English and a little bit of Spanish I’d be happy to improve.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    I’m a former counsellor and always available to accompany one’s growth by sharing my knowledge and experience, while listening from a professional point of view.

    I’m fairly handy and a good cook, and can share my ways.

    I have a few water toys I’m happy to share if I can go too ;)

    I wish I’d go back to mountain biking but for now I’m not ready yet, unless you’re ready to help me in experiencing what I can endure before triggering my symptoms.
    Mountains are spectacular and a good part of the vibe in our community (the Kootenays, BC).

    Arbeit

    Short term stay with one person at the time because it’s too demanding for me.
    Non specialized tasks (cleaning, gardening, painting, cooking, scrubbing...)
    With my concussion I’m a bit out of balance (no ladder) and still sensitive to vibrations (no manual work or use of electric tools) and somedays I get really tired easily.

    I need help in the house : cleaning windows, floors and bathrooms. Emptying closets and discarding/organizing objects.
    I'm trying to offer a bedroom on a rental platform with not much success yet, brainstorming could help.
    I need help outside : scrubbing the bbq, go get some firewood, clean/vacuum/organize car/shed, sweeping the chimney, powerwash the fence, washing the siding of the house covered with bug pee, painting the balcony, cleaning&organizing the garage…

    I need help with yard work : lawn mowing, flower-beds and fixing what the bear broke, undigging 25 dry cedars (fire hazard) and cutting down a dead pine.

    I need help with fun times : going for a paddle... or a bike ride in case I fall, or a hike, etc.

    A valid divers license would help for going to town for running errands or just for a leisurely walk, which I never do ...

    I have a basic basis in Spanish which I understand more then I can speak. I’d like to untie the knot of shyness, which I don’t have in English although French is my first language.

    Unterkunft

    Two options :
    (1) individual room in main house 2nd floor and shared bathroom.
    (2) or park your van in the backyard (I'm ok if you have a pet).

    The house is oriented north-south facing a spectacular overview of the river down below and mountains. The yard is private and quiet.

    There’s a transit running 6/7 from my village (Balfour BC) to main town (Nelson) 25min away by car, which I can lend.
    There’s the KMC - Kootenay Mountaineering Club for hikers and climbers, fantastic mtn bike trails, 105km long Kootenay Lake and West Arm River by 4-5 min drive (camping, canoe, kayak, paddle board, water skiing , fishing, sailing, ...)
    Music instruments (cello, piano, violin, ...).
    Everybody here is pretty relax , and I’m at a different phase in life too, not running after my tail no more. Anyway I can’t with my head injury. The outdoor is a great part of the community’s lifestyle.
