  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love to meet new people, learn about different cultures and share about myself and my culture too. Cooking and sharing meals together is a lovely way to connect and share stories. I like to eat organic as much as possible and enjoy growing what I can on the land as well as enjoying free range eggs from the chickens. I eat healthy mainly plant based meals or venison that my Dad has hunted.
  In exchange for your help you'll experience living a simple sustainable semi off-grid lifestyle, learn about revegetation, wellness and a slower way of life.
  There are so many beautiful spots to explore in the area and I'll be happy to show you around!
