Description
=========
Right now we are looking for help with building, cleaning, painting and cooking.
=========
We have a dog who loves a daily walk, two cats (one inside and one outside) and chickens who lay eggs!
You could stay longer possibly we also have some other projects around the yard!
You should have a car- but it's not a deal breaker if you are just here for a few days or week.
If this is a fit for you let us know!
Hi! Our family lives on a 3 acre property in rural BC right near Golden. We are Kristine and David, and two children Awnya (19) and Remi (13). We moved into an old pub 10 years ago, and have been working very hard to convert it into a family home!
Since we are located 13 kms from town, having your own car is best! We live by 5 national parks so the adventures are endless!
Mountain biking, hiking, cold plunging, skiing, etc! We have it all.

The community is very diverse, and people from all around the world are living here! The town is close to 5 national parks, including Banff National park which is very well know as a destination for people from around the world.

They made me feel very welcome and their house was very comfortable.
My job was to fetch wood in the woods with David. A good experience that I regret not!
David introduced me to the world of golf!
Thank you for everything I am happy to have met you!
