    Description

    We are a Dutch/American family living in a small town in the Rocky Mountains. We like doing things outdoor like camping, kayaking, hiking and biking. We have been Workawayers ourselves when we were traveling for a year around the world. We would like to experience the other side of the coin and would welcome you to come help us in and around our house.
    Our daughters are traveling themselves and you could use one of their bedrooms. I would like help cooking and cleaning. My husband is always fixing something and often needs a hand.
