Description
Summrer 2026 Update: We need help with renovating our new (to us) log home. It is a solid unique home in Barrie, north of Toronto in desperate need of updating. Our projects are numerous.
We are a quiet couple who enjoy the company of travelers and experience-collectors. I am a homemaker at heart I enjoy a healthy lifestyle and avoid meat and dairy where possible, although I am not a zealot about it.

Accommodation
We live in Barrie, Ontario an hour north of Toronto. You will have your own room and living space with full access to the kitchen and common areas. Food will be provided for you to either prepare for yourself or to enjoy and consume with us. Cooking duties and expectations can be discussed and arranged in the situation.
The house is log home in the city! It is a unique and comfortable home with all the amenities you will need, including internet and laundry.
We also have a house in Ottawa that is currently vacant and available for you. to visit in July and possibly August.
What else ...
Easy access to public transportation to take you to Totonto to explore. I have a car that you could potentially use as well depending on your license situation and driving ability.
We have a three year old Aussiedoodle who is friendly and eager to play.
I have been a Workawayer in the past, staying with a beautiful (ex-pat) family in Costa Rica for a 5 week period a couple of years ago as a tutor for a home schooled student. This was a rich and valuable experience for me that I would definitely consider repeating given another similar opportunity in the future.
My children are adults and living elsewhere. We live a simple life, enjoy great conversation, with lots of laughter and turn to fresh tasks with great enthusiasm. I look forward to sharing with you.
