Description
Hello!

We are Christina, Andrew and Marilyn (5 month old baby). We are experienced travellers who are in the process of finding communities to put roots in. We are interested in eco villages and what they offer: community, nature, respect for the land, slow living.

Christina is from south western Sydney, and Andrew is from Washington, USA. We both met while doing Workaway at a Tibetan Buddhist centre in 2020. We continued to travel together in the states before moving to Bellingham to live in 2022. With the birth of our baby, we travelled back to Australia for a nesting period, and to test it out - will we find a place that we can call home? We'll find out :)

Left by host (Land restoration and fire ...) for Workawayer (Christina & Andrew)

Christina joined us just after the August wildfires had threatened the area, and as we rushed to prepare a new rental space, she was a cheerful and positive presence, always ready to jump in with whatever was needed. She helped with forestry work, housekeeping, scraping/painting a building and making butterlamps, and always had a good attitude.… read more

I came here in August and ended up staying for two months. The property is remote and has a lot of beautiful nature surrounding it. It felt like an opportunity for me to have a personal retreat. Their description is accurate, and communication prior to arriving helped me organize a lift from Santa Rosa, especially during an uncertain time with the… read more

Christina was completely awesome in every way!! We didn’t want her to leave! She worked very hard and was a calming influence when things were stressful. She led other activities too that our members enjoyed such as mindful meditations and Dharma sharing. She also gives a really great back massage! I started getting one every week from her!… read more

I am very grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here. After 7 weeks, it was difficult to leave such a peaceful, and fertile place for self-exploration.

The work was fun - learning to build and… read more
