Description
Come help with spring clean-up in Tobermory, Ontario! I have a two-acre wooded property just outside of Tobermory, located at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, famous for its rugged beauty and access to the Bruce Trail. Tobermory is a small town that draws hikers and nature lovers from all over the world! My cat, Cali, and I offer a warm welcome to our home, which overlooks Lake Huron. This could be a good position for a couple or friends travelling together, as I work full-time and won't always be around. I have travelled in Europe and also taught English as a Second Language for many years. I love showing people around this beautiful place that I have come to call home!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers would be able to experience rural life in a beautiful part of Canada. I will happily introduce workawayers to the community and the places of beauty that surround it as well as any cultural events that are happening. I love to learn about other cultures!
Help
I am hoping to find some help with trail maintenance, planting a garden, window washing, outdoor painting and other such tasks for a week or two anytime between May 6 and May 23, 2025.
Some skills with these types of tasks would be helpful, as well as a willingness to work outdoors and with minimal supervision.

Accommodation
I can offer a large, beautiful room on the lower level of my home with a walkout to a wooded area. There is one queen-size bed, a loveseat and a desk. I will provide healthy, nutritious food, and though I may not always be available to cook, I will make sure that there is a plan for meals.
What else ...
I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke, so I can only accept non-smokers. The Chi-cheemaun ferry leaves Tobermory several times each day and sails to Manitoulin Island. This can be a fun trip for a day or weekend. There is no public transportation to Tobermory, but I can pick people up in Owen Sound, about 1.5 hours away. I am over 60 and live a quiet life. My home is 9 km from Tobermory, but I can help with transportation into town or offer a bicycle.
