Help
I will ask for references. I am only seeking women.
The ideal candidates are out of state or international women travelers. 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, 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 BEFORE any investment is made towards air fare to Southern Oregon.

Accommodation
Accommodations are modest but comfortable. I provide a private sleeping area, you will be required to share the bathroom. The site is a 3 bedroom townhome with a private yard in a co housing community in beautiful and vibrant Ashland Oregon. We are in the foothills. It can be hot and dry during the summer months. Very pleasant temperatures during fall, winter and spring.
What else ...
This location offers many opportunities to enjoy live music, an art museum, coffee shops, and yoga studios.
There is a local developed hot spring that is reasonably priced. The mineral water is wonderful.
There is also a local Japanese spa with a soaking pool, steam room, dry sauna and cold plunge.There is also a free Japanese garden in one of the many area local parks.
