Description

We just arrived back in Vancouver, Canada, our home town after a 4.5 month cycling trip from Canada to Mexico! We had amazing hosts in each state we visited, they made our trip possible, we are so greatful for this wonderful platform. Currently, we are using workaway on Lasqueti Island, and Vancouver island. We already feel at home here and intend to stay a while:) As we explore the islands we intend to stay with different households to build up a community around the area.

More details about your skills

Both of us have developed most of our applicable skills together, at work in our home country, and abroad on work exchange adventures. We started our journey with a bang in the Costa Rican jungle, where we lived with a lovely family, nurturing regenerative farming techniques and day to day animal/labor/quality of life tasks. We had plans to take our regenerative farming techniques back to Canada, and worked on an organic farm for a year.. This didn't go as planned, as the farm was mainly for profit, but we still gained valuable food production experience. When back in our home country, we spend most of our time assisting our family with as many things as we can, our latest projects are a total roof overhaul including: torching tar, stripping shingles, drafting and constructing a sustainable roof with water flow prevention techniques.
We volunteered in Haida Gwaii BC as well where we learned animal care such as milking goats, looking after many chicken and ducks and delivering goat babies! We learned much more in this experience involving bread and jam making, wine making, cheese making, basic construction, and overall farm maintenance on a busy farm!
