  • Description

    Description

    I am a metal sculptor with forested property close to town on beautiful salt spring island. I have many ongoing projects such as home renovation, carpentry, painting, moving and splitting firewood, garden maintenance, etc. I am a carpenter and metalworker, and would love to teach someone who would like to learn. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly property with 3+ queer people living here, and several friendly cats!

    We have a room in the house, or a cozy yurt for accommodations.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Workaways will be able to socialize with others in the house and on the property. We are within walking distance to the village on island where they can enjoy many local community events.

    I have many skills to teach in metalwork, art, and carpentry, as well as knowledge in plumbing, electrical, and other practical skills.

    I enjoy sharing experiences and conversation with people of different cultures.
