  Descripción

  Hi there!
  
  For your accommodations, on our land in the Slocan Valley we have a very cute and cozy cabin / tiny house, with a private bathroom and a full kitchen. It is a quiet place with beautiful views, and a forest and creek on the property. There is also a river nearby for swimming!
  I have travelled a lot and enjoy meeting and getting to know people from other countries. I am passionate about nature and outdoor recreation, and can teach you about the local ecosystems if you are interested, and also give many recommendations of local places to explore and recreate: hiking, camping, biking, paddling, etc.
  We like to cook and meals range from Indian curries to healthy salads to hamburgers on the BBQ.
  
  We are doing landscaping and environmental restoration projects on our land, as well as building some small structures and a deck. We would welcome help with these projects! You will have the opportunity to experience the small communities of the Slocan Valley, and perhaps learn new skills in restoration, gardening, landscaping, and/or basic construction. In Nelson we would appreciate some help with our garden as well.
  
  *Just to be clear, our land is about a 45 minute drive from Nelson - there is also a public bus service to Nelson, which is only a 12 minute walk from our land.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you and perhaps meeting you soon! Happy Travels!
  
  MJ & Sosa

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We can offer assistance and support with learning English, if you are learning English. I am a teacher, and am especially passionate about the outdoors and nature. So I am happy to teach you about the natural ecosystems here. There are plenty of opportunities here for outdoor recreation, such as hiking, paddling, and biking. You may be able to borrow a paddle board to paddle on a local lake. On our land, you will have the opportunity to learn about the process of environmental restoration, organic gardening, and/or basic building and construction.

  Ayuda

  We have land near Nelson (45 minutes away in Winlaw) where we are doing landscaping and environmental restoration projects, as well as building some small structures. We would welcome help with these projects! There may be the opportunity for you to stay there during the week in our cute and cozy cabin, or in our tiny house -- there is lots of sun, and a creek close by.
  The landscaping and environmental restoration projects include specific tasks such as: transplanting trees, digging up invasive weeds, planting seeds of native plants, building soil by sheet mulching, watering plants, etc. The building projects might involve helping to build a storage shed, covered deck, or fence, and may include tasks like: moving lumber, measuring and sawing lumber, using power tools, painting or staining wood, digging holes for fenceposts, etc. In addition we will need help with our garden, including planting, weeding, and watering.
