Help
The three of us (me, myself and I) accept members slowly and carefully. I will ask for references. I am especially seeking women. 4 hours of assistance each day in exchange for room & board. Help includes; but is not limited to; cleaning common areas, much continual watering, weeding and tending to the gardens, chickens, assisting the host etc.
The ideal candidates are women travelers who enjoy a beautiful and quiet rural area without night life. I also require a minimum commitment of at least 1 month (after a 10 day trial period for compatibility assessment) Morning bell chimes at 6 30 am (night owls need not apply) trustworthy women with a strong work ethic and a good sense of humor and serving others most welcome. Public library and hiking trails within walking distance, not close to public transportation. I can provide some rides into town and the use of a bicycle. Please be willing to write several paragraphs about yourself. It is important to email back and forth and exchange photos quite a bit BEFORE any investment is made towards air faire to San Diego. I want your experience to be a rewarding one. Keep in mind that I am low tech by choice...and devote very little time online. So my response time may not be prompt.
This is a meat, smoke, shoe, drug, alcohol, wireless & T.V. free environment. Host insists on rising early, on quiet morning voices and quiet evening hours. Host seeks community, I can be present for you...If you can be present for me. I enjoy hosting yoga instructors, artists, writers, photographers, hikers, vegetarian cooks, floor scrubbers, weed pullers, bike repairers, wood gatherers, hen whisperers, annoying cat toleraters, and those committed to service in these areas. To quote Rumi..”Let the beauty you love be what you do”.
