Description

Hi!

I am a city dweller who longs for the countryside. I've been in Vancouver for 20 years and now want to buy land and build a homestead, community or general space for people to visit, live and play on. I purchased a campervan in January and have been experimenting with vanlife to see what area of the country I want to call home next. I would love to experience country life, near hiking trails, rivers or lakes, mountains and generally all things nature. I want to build things, grow things, and work with my hands.

I like to think I'm on a spiritual journey, and embrace all things a little bit woo. I'd love to participate in moon ceremonies, meditate, but also more active things like dancing, yoga (acro?!), singing around a fire, and taking advantage of the nearby nature.

On my future land there will be a volleyball court, flow arts area, yoga studio, sauna, nature trails, parking spots for vanlifers or visitors, and a huge solar array. Possibly a tiny house or two. Warning: if you have these things already, I may never leave.

I'm not a huge cook or foodie, but I crave being in touch with the land, and will be grateful to help with building, farming, gardening or any sort of projects you may have.

More details about your skills

I've been a photographer for ten years, which is why I need to step away from the computer, but I could happily build you a website or take pictures of anything.

I've done tile flooring, but otherwise don't have a lot of experience with, say, carpentry. But I learn quickly and am a bit of a perfectionist. I also studied engineering so I have good spacial awareness and understanding of materials and logistics.

I have baking skills, wood flooring and preserving (crabapples, pears and apples).

My main skill for this purpose is enthusiasm and joyful spirit.

Age

What else ...

I love beach volleyball, rollerblading, back country hiking and camping, photography, fitness, pole dancing (total beginner), cycling and cross country skiing.

I love hot springs and being warm!

I would happily play scattergories, cranium, monopoly, catan, risk, crib, or taboo.
