    Description

    We are an active family of four. Mother and father work outside of the home so there are alot of unfinished projects. We love to host visitors and we have hosted international students in the past. I stumbled upon this site and thought maybe this is the answer. Get the cultural experience while getting some projects cleaned up around the house.
    My response rate has been low the last couple of years with covid and we recently relocated from Ontario to Nova Scotia.
    We are finally settled in Nova Scotia and hoping to host again soon.

    We just moved to a new property in Nova Scotia with a loft space above the garage that needs some attention...painting etc. Our last house didn't have much of a lawn or plants so if you have a green thumb, we would love to hear from you.
    We are hosting a French student in the fall who will be attending high school so if you are interested in touring our area you may have an accomplice to join you in your adventures.
