Workaway to provide their own food, (space on shelves and fridge). I have a common shelf for Spices, etc. We may take turns sharing a meal occasionally. I prefer vegetarian AND anything interesting that swim, flies or more or grow . I religiously leave the sink clean or else my messiness invades everywhere. I offer a private bedroom, shared bath & kitchen in exchange for 2 hrs, 5 days a week WITH ((your brain concentrating on helping me with my projects.)) Hopefully & we SHOULD schedule these 2 hr times in advance. I enjoy meeting people from other cultures, cause I have to pee to often to be a good traveller, it’s easier, for me, if you come here. As I write this, I think I'm funny, but a lot of people tell me "Sometimes, you are". My location is close to the SeaBus, so you can easily go to Downtown Vancouver, and North Shore public Transit, wilderness trails are not far away.

Ayuda
Workaway most suited to me: Probably Artsy, seeks a quiet base to follow their passion in Greater Vancouver, a non smoker, non drinker, no drugs, (easily self amused) and who would benefit from practicing Canadian-English with a native speaker. Probably someone over 30 years, who has ways of finding 'childish joy' in their life, who visits with guests away from the shared apartment, knows how to use headphones, cleans up after themselves and we share cleaning of common areas.
HELP: Some dayS the WorkAway will be a Care Giver for a Clown who can forget, things like where I put my cell phone, and I forgot looking at my ‘Have I got my …List’. Mostly a person who can be patient and able to focus my TOO MANY Computer-Media Projects. We must have time to interview each other’s two times, on Zoom or WhatsApp. Some examples of projects we will work on include: -Making better YouTube videos on The Tickle Machine Game, by - Spreading the practice of empathetic listening, a la Carl Rogers, Eugene Gendlin and Allan Rohlfs - Exploring: Walk-About Fun, Comedy, or smiles, smirks, giggles, genuine laughing stand up Stand around Turns humour .

Alojamiento
I live in North Vancouver, 12 min walk to the SeaBus. I rent a one-bedroom apartment where I partition. my living-bed space next to the balcony and out of sight from the kitchen. The one bedroom, PRIVATE BEDROOM, provides for visits with my son and grandkids, OR FOR A WORK-AWAY. It has a lockable door, Drawers, Closet, Desk, High Speed Internet, Spaces for personal projects and a quiet work-space. Workaway to provide their own food, (space on shelves and fridge). I have a common shelf for Spices and the like. We may take turns sharing a meal occasionally. I prefer back-sliding vegetarian. I religiously leave the sink clean or my messiness invades everywhere.
I offer a private bedroom, shared bath & kitchen in exchange for 2 hrs, 5 days a week with your brain concentrating on helping me with my projects. My apartment is warm in the winter, but you can keep your window open. In summer , sometimes I use Air Conditioning located in the Living Room. You will have your own Apartment Key and Bedroom Key. Problem is managing the One Fob entry for the building. There is a Lobby place to reach the apartment and be buzzed in. This works with careful management. We schedule these 2 hr times in advance. If I have a busy week day, I prefer you take that as a day off from the 2 hours. I prefer these times to be in the morning or right after lunch. I enjoy meeting people from other cultures, cause I haver to pee to often to be a good traveller, it’s easier, for me, if you come here. This is not a Bed & Breakfast, we are sharing our living spaces together and cleaning them. Room-mate cleaning may be 15 min a day, each.

People who come here, know what they want to be doing. Your time off is yours; you probably don't need any advice, from me. I am a non smoker, non drug user, non drinker who prefers calm & funny; and WANT to host SIMILAR ABNORMAL people. Also: You being tidy & clean, inspires me to eliminate my unnecessary HOUSEHOLD clutter. After a Persian ‘Workaway's' long stay: I am addicted to Persian Yogurt; to which I add: frozen wild blue berries & Maple Syrup. I now WANT to drink: Persian tea with Turmeric, Ginger, Green Tea, Cinnamon & honey.
