  Description

  Hello!
  
  US: We are a young family of 4 living on the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC. We are avid travellers, surfers, environmentalists and have spent the 1st year of our son's life traveling the world and travelled to Chile to birth our second! We love meeting new people and believe in energy exchange as a way to discover the world and continuously learn new skills.
  
  Project scope: Back at home, in the gorgeous coastal town of Ucluelet, BC, we need some help with a few different projects.. Our hands are full with our toddler and newborn, gardens and zero-waste business and we would love a hand, or a couple hands in exchange for some accommodation,some food and sharing our local knowledge.
  
  Project involved: mostly housekeeping & some yard maintenance ( weeding, gardening) We are currrently looking for help Mid April, May & June.
  
  The work is approx 4-5 days a week ( 25hrs a week) , which will leave you plenty of time to explore the region. We will offer a food allowance for your working days, which will allow you to prepare your meals as you please. Other meal options can be discussed.
  
  Housing?
  We can offer a private accommodation with kitchen and full bath, ideal for a couple who are looking for a surfing, hiking, fishing destination to enjoy, discover and help with our project. This accommodation is walking distance to a beach, 5 min bicycle ride to the grocery store ( or 15 min walk) and 15 min drive to surf!
  
  
  thank you ! :)
