Description
Island girl born and raised raising my baby and wanting to spruce up my nature filled property. My almost 2 acre property borders on 700 acres of walking trails, has big garden spaces, ponds, forest, and animals. Great neighbors and minutes walk through beautiful trails to community gardens, community center and village Centre. Super close to loads of amazing beaches as well!
My dream is to have nature retreats on my property, so I am working towards setting up my land for that. I am manifesting an outdoor Cobb kitchen, composting toilet, treehouse and canvas tents.
Ideally it would be amazing to find some workawayers to comenext spring/summer 2024 that have carpentry skills to help with some building projects..especially the treehouse. Also, any labor skills will be much appreciated in making this tranquil haven a reality!
In exchange I would love to show you around this beautiful island and cook some meals together.

I would love to share my experience growing up in small island life. Foraging herbs and seafood. Gardening, building. Also, I love to cook so will be looking forward to sharing meals! One of my biggest joys is feeding people!
I love adventuring and being a tour guide! On time off I’d be happy to show you all kinds of amazing beaches, hikes, markets, and we also have loads of amazing musicians, events and artists on our little island!

Accommodation
Small Bedroom, looking out into the tree tops. I love to cook so will be happy to cook and provide breakfast and dinner most days.
What else ...
I am in bed early ( around 10 pm) and up early ( around 6-7) most days and do not drink or drug. But I have loads of fun playing sports and doing amazing stuff in nature and ‘partying’ sober. Also I have a baby boy. Some things I’ve noticed with my experiences so far I’d like to get more clear on upfront….i will provide food, and either you can help/prepare for yourself, or lots of the time, atleast one meal a day, I do love cooking ( it’s actually a vocation) and will enjoy cooking for you…when I cook, I do expect help cleaning up after dinner…the way I was raised if someone else does the cooking I do the cleaning. And obviously cleaning up after yourselves will be expected and not part of work hours.
I am very lenient on when you do the worktrade hrs most of the time. That seems to be confused sometimes with just do however much work you want. I’d still appreciate the trade of 5hrs/day and am super flexible with when you’d like to do it. I will often be going away for some of the days during workawayers being here. If I do I will leave food stocked and a list of tasks and you can have my little slice of heaven to yourself for a bit:)
