Description

This spring and summer 2025 i want to come back to canada.
Best destiny would be to find a place where i can help in a canoe outtfitter, pickup canoes with a trailer, drive the car. And then spend lot of time one the water, I see the waterways as the best way to explore nature and wildlife in a quiet canoe. Specially if there are sometimes no footpaths to go on.

Or then i coluld imagine to suport a warden in a nationalapark.

Or also help on a campground. I have lots of experience in living in campground- similar conditions myself, as a my normal life happened living in a trailer since 20 years.

In the halfyear of spring and summer, i am free to travel, because my work is a seasonally work and goes over the fall and winter - i am a selfemployed chestnutroaster, i sell the chestnuts to customers. So i am highly experienced in customer service and i have very natural and friendly way to chat with them.

I come to see the wilderness. In Switzerland what i call home, there is not so much left of that. But i need the presence of nature like breathing and so its time to travel again.

Normally, my home is on a Farm in the Hills. I live there and work there too. We have cows there and forest for firewood.

One day i would love to help building a log cabin. I like to work in handcraft or outside in nature or on a farm. I am trained in woodwork. I want to learn everything about gardening, collecting hearbs.

I love local folk music and i have my fiddle in my luggage. If anytime possible, i like to connect with musican to play some old time or bluegrass music

In short - Hannah is great. Easy going, truly respectful of hosts well being and in the morning she may surprise you with some violin or banjo music. She was willing to help even if it was a short stay, her presence was helpful by itself. She is genuinely interested in local culture, traditions and life, ready to learn, listen and shear her … read more

Hannah spent 3 weeks with me in the Yukon in June/July. She has good carpentry skills. It was great to discuss options for a house project such as support brackets for gutters or a gate entry for the crawl space or shelving under the stairs and have her artfully and competently complete them. She also helped with canoe outfitting and preparation … read more
