  Description

  Hi! My name is Jay and I am a 37 year old woman from Nova Scotia, Canada. I live in a cabin on the North Shore of the Cabot trail, Cape Breton Island. I own and operate three cabins I rent to tourists and run a traditional archery range along the Cabot Trail. It is just myself and my two cats, Maggie & Vernie on 28 acres of waterfront property.
  
  I have 2x 2 bedroom cabins and one glamping cabin! I handle everything here by myself 9/12 months of the year. I am open year-round with a busy winter.
  
  I am really into foraging plants and fungi, cooking, archery and hiking. I have quite a bit of experience with work trades and woofers here in Cape Breton and other parts of Nova Scotia. I myself have been a woofer. I have worked with people from France, Germany, New Zealand, England and many places across the US. I truly enjoy helping people see the island, sharing my land, and pointing people toward the best experiences they can have.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The biggest benefit of living here temporarily is being on the world famous Cabot trail, working a little, relaxing, exploring what Cape Breton Island has to offer during its most beautiful months. You will be enjoying 28 acres of wilderness property, learning traditional archery, and being part of a tourism operation that hosts events and activities all centered around being outdoors. It's peaceful! If you like working independently in nature, this is a great place to be.

  Accommodation

  I am offering a 12x12 trapper cabin which will have power and is about a 25 second walk from a cabin that has a bathroom (that can be privately used by you) with standup shower/vanity/toilet. This is a building with wifi, power, water, laundry, sitting area and office space. You can have 24 hour access to this space - the only time I would want to share it is if I need the office space for a period of time rarely.

• 

  What else ...

  Close the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, beaches, hiking, etc. I will definitely make sure you have a good time! My last Workaway person learned a lot about foraging and went with me weekly to collect plants and mushrooms!
