Details
Description
We are a married couple with a daughter who lives in Vancouver. We have resided here since 2016. Our acreage was bare land before moving here. It has been a blank canvas for us to create our dream home and property.
We are both musicians and play at a local restaurant on Sundays during summer months, as well as various gigs in the area at other times. Paul is an active volunteer fire fighter.
I like to cook and we both enjoy having visitors, be it family or friends. We have a chocolate lab (Coco) who loves Frisbee catching and swimming. Hiking is way up there on her list too. We also have two cats (Ollie and Mollie) and they are always ready for a snuggle.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Upper Sunshine Coast of B.C. is a beautiful place to spend time in. There are numerous outdoor activities, such as hiking, boating, fishing. The Sunshine Coast trail is the longest free hut to hut hiking trail that gives one access to the beauty that the west coast of Canada has to offer. We also have whales passing through quite regularly. There is a large music and artist population to enjoy.
Help
We have 9 acres to upkeep. The garden is about 7 years old and I need some help getting it under control and building good soil. There is also bramble to clear.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We have a comfortable fifth wheel camper with electricity, internet and a working fridge but not a working washroom. There is an outhouse close by and you are welcome to use the washroom/shower in the main house. We also have an outdoor shower with solar heated water.
We will provide all food and try to accommodate any preferences or sensitivities.
What else ...
In addition to the outdoor activities mentioned, we do have a number of music festivals here during the spring/summer months. There is also easy access to Vancouver island (1 1/2 hour ferry ride) for exploring. Savary Island has a lovely beach for those sun lovers and is also easy to get to.

I left these folks this morning, and now, in the evening, I already miss them so much that I'd trade my dinner just to be with them again—and they know what that means because I’m such a foodie!
