Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live 20 minutes outside the small mountain town of Nelson, BC. There are lots of hiking and biking trails near by. Several local swimming holes within a ten minute drive. The town of Nelson has many interesting shops and delicious restaurants. We are long time Nelsonites, and would be happy to take workawayers on a tour of the area.

Help
We are looking for gardening help as well as general help around the property including organizing sheds, putting new tin roofing on two small sleeper cabins, stacking firewood, and trail building. We prefer to have workawayers for shorter stays, 2-4 weeks. Cooking vegetarian meals and cleaning / organizing around the property would also be a great help.

Accommodation
Workawayers will have a loft in my house house. Kitchen, bathroom and living area is shared with me. I am at work Mon - Fri 6:30 - 4:30 so you would have the place to yourself during this time.
I can purchase whatever groceries workawayers would like or alternatively they can purchase their own and I can reimburse them. -
What else ...
Our basement also serves as an bnb so advance notice is key so that we can block it off. Also, because we live outside of town and most of the local activities are a drive away, our house might be preferable for workawayers with a car, however there is a bus that goes into Nelson three times a day.

It felt like a home away from home!
Heather was very open to when I would work and what work I wanted to do.
And invited me to come over whenever I’m back in town.
This was my first workaway, and couldn’t have wished … read more
