    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our home offers a rich cultural exchange experience. You’ll be included in daily life and invited to join us for hikes, beach outings, and friendly gatherings. We live in a community where you’ll experience Canadian life.

    We’re happy to share our knowledge of landscaping, basic building, and gardening, and we love working together on hands-on projects. You'll also get to know our fabulous young kids.

    By hosting people from different cultures, we hope to expand our worldview and help our children grow up curious and open-minded. We're excited to learn about your traditions, language, and way of life, and to build genuine connections through shared work and meaningful conversations.

  • Help

    Help

    Your main task is to take care of our apple, plum, fig, and cherry trees. Other gardening help—like weeding and planting—is also appreciated.
    There are also landscaping projects like building a stone walkway and small retaining wall.
    Finally, we are getting ready for beekeeping season. New wooden frames need to be built. It’s simple to do and no previous building experience is required.
    If you enjoy hands-on work, we’d be happy to have you!
