  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  This exchange would likely really be about NATURE, CHILDREN, and COMMUNITY. Haida Gwaii is a special place to visit. It is hard to find a place to stay here. There are no big chains or hotels here and Air b'n'b is quite limited. It's a local-oriented culture, and so living with a family here will give you a special sense of this place, its forests and trails, and its community.
  
  We are an ideal location to visit old Massett which has many galleries and long houses in which you could connect with local artists and locals. Farmers market is on Fridays which is always fun. We are located minutes from beach and river side. Naikoon park has hiking options and endless beaches near by. Take a tour with local fishermen and go fishing and catch beautiful spring, coho, and halibut. In the fall there are wonderful opportunities to go mushroom picking for chanterelles and other delights. Watch the salmon run up the Yakoun river in fall. Maybe you will also see our local Chown river bear. For sure the Sandhills Cranes, Eagles, and Geese that frequent the beach in the spring and summer. Spring, fall and winter has incredible storms and surf breaks. If you like it wild. :)
