Description
I grew up on an off-the-grid homestead in the Salish sea of the west coast of the United States. I love the sea, sailing, surfing, wooden boats, simple living, and wholesome local food. I'm an omnivore, (dairy, meat, fish, eggs etc.) and am looking for stays that are aligned with that (I don't function well on vegetarian or vegan diets).
I built my own tiny house from trees I felled and milled, and enjoy working with my hands and crafting in a way that’s thoughtful and beautiful.
I often sing folk songs while I work, and really enjoy singing with other people.
My current profession is as an arborist, but I’ve done a variety of trades over the years.

What else ...
I'm an intermediate and dedicated surfer, mostly looking for spots near a good break. mostly surf longboards, but excited to get into short boards if there's the opertunity. I like working with people, and I'm also very comfortable being given a project and just doing it on my own. either way, I like the opertunity to be creative and feel like my skills and experience are really being used. I'm also very interested in learning new skills and knowledge particularly about farming and gardening.

I had a great stay here. Mohamad is a thoughtful and attentive host, I enjoyed my time working on the land, hiking to the beach, and relaxing in the evenings. A nice balance of work and relaxation, good food, and good company.

It was great having Ryan helping us on the farm for a week. Ryan is a very positive person and enjoys getting work done. He helped us to plant a many vegetables seeds, fixing fence and he introduced some early morning yoga sessions.
Thank you for your help and enjoy the rest of your travels.

Ryan was extremely helpful and respectful. His broad skill base proved useful in many different ways, (ie, candle dipping, net-making, chainsaw carving and tree felling, among others) and we were lucky to have him, it was a great learning experience.

I had a lovely time at Jamie's homestead, I really enjoyed learning about farming in a subtropical climate (something totally new to me) and felt my help was appreciated. it was a nice mix of hard and easy work, but never stressful. I enjoyed good conversation and sharing music in the evenings. Jamie communicates clearly, and was always open to… read more
