inside and outside stucco, landscaping with natural rock work, painting, firewood cutting and daily surprises....

Over the years we ourselves have traveled a lot vising most of Central and South America and of course Europe before immigrating to Canada in 1979. Since we are both self employed and thought, we have loads of personal life experience
to share, creating what you will see with us, on an "outside the box" concept and vision, a "never ending learning curve"
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We are looking for "out of the box free spirits", with strong arms, a happy heart and big smile and broad imaginations.

Our alternate ECO straw bale design and construction concept and methods is a creative work in progress. To date many international working travelers, became part of our great vision. Off grid, with solar power only, recycled building components, every guest was fascinated about the cozy feel in our different buildings. The shared meals have allowed great conversations and friendships to develop. Do come and stay with us, as long you'd like, as well bring your friends.
We will need many creative and willing hands to become part of our unusual project. As it stands, every day we all have learned something new, a never ending "Learning Curve" and have fun with "Murphy's Law" daily rules, challenges..
Stunning photo documentations and memories are shared, you will love and appreciate the international flair and mix
of our globe trotting traveling "addicts". 1 cute cat, 2 dogs will greet you.
We love to hear and welcome you, having helped ourselves in Brazil, Australia, Tasmania and Tonga........Ghitta and Ulric
