    Hello dear workawayers!
    My name is Kokia.
    As a woman on a big land, I would be very happy to welcome you in my paradise during the summer to have a little help!
    I'm 38 year old, I like to play and listen to all kinds of music and i'm a singer too. I live in St-Cyrille-De-Lessard, a little village in the countries, in the province Québec.. On that paradise land, there is a beautiful river, where we can bathe. There are beautiful paths to walk on too. I''ve got enough space on the land to welcome a camper van, or a trailer tent, or just a tent if you'd like to set it up somewhere on the land. You can have access to water and electricity. I have a little trailer shack with a single bed available, with a small fridge, little kitchen to welcome you if you are solo...

    Since I have many projects on this beautiful piece of land, I would like to have some help with :

    -cleaning tress on the ground
    -clean branches
    - make outside wook cords,
    -fix and buid little things here and there,
    -build little wood shelter for the winter wood.
    -Split wood ( with an electric wood plitter
    - Build little decorative fences
    -finish work on the house
    -take care of the little trails to go to the river
    -build flower beds with cedar wood
    -Set up an outside shower
    -Landscaping
    - more...

    I have a little outdoor kitchen ''gazebo'' where the main house is. This place can also be available once in a while.

    I don't expect the workawayers to work many hours a day. Maybe 2-3 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. I'm super open for discussion too if you prefer to do more huors in one dayt and be free other more days! I don't commit for feeding our workawayers every day, but of course,i will be happy to invite you to join me for meals once in a while. I offer many spots on the land to go park and explore. I'm a very open person and easy going. If you have company pets we can discuss about it. There is an outside toilet available too on the land.

    I'd be very happy and pleased to meet the next roadtrippers who will come enjoy the peace of nature here, hear to coyotes sing in the evening, bathe in the river, walk in the forest and help me keep this place pretty and welcoming. I'm also very close to St-Jean-POrt-joli, a beautiful little village by the big St-Laurent fleuve, wich is almost the opening of the sea with majestic views, boutiques, restaurants, micro brewery. Such a good place to visit!



    So if you think you could be good at one of these tasks or projects and that a an agreable person who wants to meet other agreable people, you are more than welcome! SO let's meet!

    Cant' wait to hear from you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    They would learn to speak French Québécois, they will live in the woods with the beautiful nature, 5 min walk to the river, good people, gathering with musicians, giving the opportunity to spend time on a nice piece of property in the nature, we can give rides to go to the village for groceries and others once in a while, an hour away from Québec city if you want to go out and explore, 10 minutes away from the big St-Laurent river with the beautiful view on the mountains.... We also do many music gigs so we can give opportunities to come with us enjoy these moments. We also have some musical and friends gatherings on the land! Very friendly and quiet place. NO traffic. There is an organic vegetable stands about half a mile from our house! For a total relaxing nature experience and wild life, it's happening here!
