  Description

  We're a Canadian family of 4, passionate about travel, nature, and sustainable living. We're developing an eco-project on our land in Golden, British Columbia, with yurts, bunkies, and a converted school bus! We no longer live in the A-frame house — we've moved onto the land itself, right in the heart of the project.
  ⚠️ Good to know before applying:
  We want to be upfront — construction is still ongoing, so we're currently living in a bit of a "camping mode." It's rustic, sometimes improvised, but that's part of the adventure! The setting, though, is absolutely stunning: mountains, nature, and peace all around. If you're comfortable with a simple outdoor lifestyle, you'll love it here.
  Looking for help with:
  
  Garden maintenance and land development (layout, small projects, building)
  Daily household tasks (cleaning, cooking, etc.)
  House-sitting when we travel — we have 1 dog and chickens 🐔🐕
  
  What we offer in return:
  An eco-friendly, welcoming environment, the chance to practice French every day, and an authentic immersion in a sustainable mountain-life project.
  📍 About the location:
  Golden is a beautiful mountain town surrounded by Yoho, Glacier, and Banff National Parks. Nearby, you'll find endless hiking (Thompson Falls, Bee's Trail, and more), Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (skiing, mountain biking, via ferrata, and the Grizzly Bear Refuge — home to Boo, a rescued grizzly), and the Golden Skybridge just 15 minutes away — Canada's highest suspension bridges with incredible panoramic views.
  Whether you love the outdoors, want to improve your French, or simply experience life in a warm and sustainable family project, we'd love to host you! 😊
