Travelling
Description
We are a family of 4 (son 11 and daughter 16).
We are Canadians / Americans, and can live and work at either country.
John (my husband) and I have no problem taking directions or asking questions to clarify, and then proceeding to work well autonomously, but also enjoy a chat while working away. I can clean to a very high standard, and he can fix just about anything.
We are friendly, and non-judgmental.
Children can also help out with chores outside of their online schoolwork, and we're happy to take care of / supplement our own food purchases. We do not drink, smoke, do any drugs, or need any prescriptions.
We are flexible, and just want it to be fair for everyone, and we would like a bit of travel and new experiences.

John is great with gardening, plant care, can do basic plumbing and electrical, building things like fences or bulkheads.

What else ...
We all like to learn new things, and have done a wide variety, like helping out with honey collection or cider making, farm sitting, blueberry picking... We even visited a hunting camp this summer, and the children learned about a bear hunting operation before the season opened. While we are new to workaway, we are not new to work / travel exchanges or housesitting, and we have excellent references.
We travel with our own vehicle, and have our own funds to supplement food and such depending on the exchange we work out.
