  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  As my projects are spread through Alberta and British Columbia there will be the opportunity to travel to Calgary, Alberta and Nelson B.C. and explore the wilds of southern Alberta and British Columbia. You can learn of the area's history, practice the language, partake in many outdoor activities and enjoy local culture and arts. You will benefit from learning about building a new business, designing boats and fly fishing. I hope that you enjoy variety!

  Help

  We will need help cleaning, painting, various building tasks, driving and cooking. If you have experience building boats you will focus on that otherwise you will help me as part of the crew building the workshop and the rental unit. Some of the help will be outside and some inside.
  
  There are many farmer's markets nearby and we eat as much organic food as we can find. You will be fed well and also help with the shopping and cooking.
