Descripción
We are empty nesters, living in a spacious house in beautiful Nanaimo (85000 people) on Vancouver Island. I teach at the local University and my wife runs a cake business. If you are looking for a place in Canada where the winters do not get too cold, this is us!

We need help with general maintenance in and around the house, some renovations, gardening, landscaping, help in the kitchen, shopping, supporting some events etc.
We love having people around and will try to make you feel home away from home.
We can pick you up from the ferry or airport.

Alojamiento
In light of COVID 19, everything will have to evolve and be handled in line with quarantine requirements. So we will probably provide you with a home away from home in our large and very comfy 28" motorhome (has a queen size bed, bathroom, kitchen etc). We would share food, BBQ etc though, it's just a layer of extra caution designed to keep all parties involved safe.

Lots to do and suggest! We want to make sure you enjoy yourself here!

Choosing to stay with Brigitte, Peter and Helga as my first workaway experience was the best choice I could have made. We worked on fun projects and I had a great time while being served some incredible food. I highly recommend staying with them to explore this great area of the island.
