  Description

  We are both hard-working professionals, Idaho natives, super active (hiking, skiing, biking, boating) and we have recently become empty nesters. We own About 90 acres of beautiful forest land in Garden Valley, Idaho and would love to host 1 to 4 Workawayers to help us manage day to day life and some special dome projects on the mountain. We have four geodesic domes on the property and one large cabin. We have motorcycles, ATVs, electric bikes, tractor and many other tools we use on the mountain. From organizing our workshop to gardening, spraying and roadwork using the tractor, there is an endless amount of things we need help with on the mountain.
  
  We are also always open to hosting exchange students in our Boise home. Life is always moving and fun with us, we are fortunate and feel like we have a tremendous amount to share and give to others.
  
  Our kids have done Workaways abroad so we thought why not try this out. We have recently had a few high school exchange students from Spain and France and we absolutely loved it. My wife has lived in France, is very fluent in French and she also speaks Spanish. If you are driven, fun, genuine and positive, let's chat about what you need and we can see what we can come up with here at the home to help each other.
  
  Garden Valley, Idaho is a small town about one hour north of Boise, it has access to world class white water rafting, fly fishing, camping, biking, hiking and hot springs.
