  Descripción

  We are a strong and healthy active senior couple living on a lush tropical acre of land on the Big Island of Hawaii (Hawaii Island). We stay busy on the upkeep of our property and we are in the finishing stages of our house remodel. We are not vaccinated. Our preference is to eat healthy, take supplements, and breathe the clean air of our island and boost our immune system that way

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Travelers can learn what it's like to live on a volcanic island. We have many tropical fruit trees and flowering plants to learn about as well as Hawaiian culture. We have eclectic interests. We have traveled a lot and lived in Germany and Italy through serving with the military, so we love to "talk story" as the Hawaiians say.

  The priority for us right now is finishing up the smaller details of the remodel of our house. We would appreciate help with DIY and small building projects like adding trim inside and creative projects such as murals and water tasks. We are also planning to set up a greenhouse and finish an outdoor kitchen. There is gardening, planting, weed pulling, green waste removal/hauling and moving lava rocks. There can be some lifting more than 50 pounds. One of the Workaway responsibilities it to help feed and care for the chickens and the coop. Much of the time we would be along side you, depending on what's going on with our schedules. Usually during the week days we like to be out in the mornings when it is cooler, eat a late breakfast and rest a bit, Then, we often go back to the projects in early afternoon when it's cooler again. That can change depending on the project.
  
  We ask the Workawayers that come here to be motivated, self-starters and innovative as we prefer not to micro-manage. We provide a basic list of ongoing tasks to do if we are not available to be with you and you have finished other projects.
  
  NOTE: We request a minimum stay of 1 month here. It takes a bit of time to acclimate to the property and tasks and this is a large island with lots to do in your spare time.

  Our property is about 15-20 minutes south of Hilo on the east side of the island. This island is a tropical paradise with much to explore from Volcanoes National Park to star gazing at Mauna Kea to snorkeling at nearby Hilo Bay area. On the west side you will find Kailua-Kona which is just under a two hour drive away with many more sights.
  
  We practice the Christian faith and generally take Sunday off for church, relaxation and side trips. Sometimes we may take a week day off because the beaches and parks aren't so busy then.
  
  We love people, yet enjoy our privacy sometimes. We have groups of friends over once and a while for "game night" as well as a weekly family dinner/game night (we have family that live nearby). ( Sometimes our Workawayers join us for family night). We aspire to eat healthy (a lot of organic food), but sometimes partake in our favorite guilty pleasures. (Dottie really loves dark chocolate and popcorn).
  
  Sadly, our beloved cat, Bubbles, that just turned 9 years old, passed away on December 26th, 2025. We have a 4 year old male cat named Ziggy and a younger male 3 years old, named Fonzie. We adopted a little girl kitten named "Beans" that our granddaughter brought to us from her home on Kaua'i. She's now about 2 years old. The cats are very friendly to visitors. Tim is holding Bubbles in our profile picture and there is also a pic of Ziggy and Fonzie together as well as a pic of Beans. We have 30+ chickens in a coop with a fenced chicken run on the land so they get out to the sunshine. We hatched many of the chickens in an incubator and got others from a friend.
  
  For health reasons, we prefer non-smokers.
