Description
About Nick:
Hi, I’m Nick! I'm an ex-Canadian Armed Forces member. I’m an adventurous and easygoing person with a passion for exploring nature, art, new biking trails, philosophy, health, and spirituality. I love capturing moments through photography, filming creative videos, personal development, volleyball, and cycling through beautiful landscapes. Foraging for herbs and mushrooms is one of my favorite outdoor activities. I believe in the power of intentional travel to expand my life experiences and deepen my understanding of different cultures and ways of living. I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm, resilience, and positive energy to meaningful projects and communities wherever life will take me.
About Olivia:
Hi! I’m Olivia 🙂 I’m a motivated person who speaks both French and English. I have a deep love for the outdoors and learning about the world. I cherish the small, slow things in life, such as gardening, baking delicious treats, cooking wholesome meals, and foraging for medicinal herbs to enhance my apothecary. Growing up in a rural farm town, I gained hands-on experience raising chickens and developed a bit of knowledge in house repairs from my father who's a carpenter. With a degree in fashion design, I’m also skilled at mending clothes, ready to lend a hand when needed. Quiet, gentle, and loving, I am passionate about contributing to sustainable projects and making a positive impact in local communities. I’d love to help out wherever I can!
