***Opportunity good for Musicians, couples who would like personal space or solo travellers who would like some personal time in the forest.
We are a family of 5 with a dog Captain! We live 5 min out of the town of Kaslo in the Kootenay mountains. BC, Canada.
I would say we are a creative group. We love to get outdoors: camping, mountain biking, boating, sailing and we even have a new windsurfer we are trying out this year.
WE have three boys (8, 10 and 12) There is a blend of homeschooling and public schooling within the house. The boys are all involved in local sports and activities and love mountain biking/skateparking.
My partner Dean has his own landscaping business seasonally. There is potential of extra paid work for the right person. Dean's business brings in a lot of compost piles and discarded plants. This creates a creative element to the land with never knowing what is coming next and figuring out how to use it. He also brings in a lot of reusable building supplies that can spark creativity for projects.
My name is Allison. I work three days a week at a childcare centre (Waldorf inspired). I am also a musician with a few different projects I play around with in the community. (blues band, accordion children's set and Kirtan leading). I am always interested in playing with new musicians. As a workaday visitor there is option to stay in our beautiful music studio as your personal space. So the experience may appeal to a travelling musician!!
Last our dog Captain is a very friendly big puppy of one years old. He loves everything and everyone. He is still learning not to get too excited and jump up but is doing well with this.
Let us know if you are interested!

I have lived in Mexico as a teenager for three months. I have lived speaking French in Northern Quebec. And I have lived for three months in Haiti. I have experienced living and learning another language and culture and see the value in that adventure! My own experience shows three months is the magic time that it takes to really feel comfortable in a new language and culture!
