  Descripción

  Come live in our beautiful British Columbia home beginning in September! We are a few meters from a pebbly ocean beach overlooking forested mountains, complete with sea lions and the chance of whale sightings. Live in community with two writers and our two young children, help out with child minding and light house chores, all of us contributing to keeping the home running smoothly and happily while enjoying nature’s bounty. The home is 10 minutes, walk to the ferry and the various amenities of Bowen’s main strip.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Jeff and I (Sarah) look forward to sharing our passion for good living and lifelong learning around the dinner table, while crafting or drawing with our art-loving children, hiking through towering cedar trees or co-working in our sunny common room. We’re both busy professional writers, journalists and voracious readers. You're invited to join us for family dinner every day, and to make your own breakfast and lunch anytime. Travellers will gain experience learning about gentle parenting with spirited young kids, as Jeff and I attempt to put these concepts into action every day — and sometimes fail, spectacularly! All of us in the family are neurodivergent in some way; kindness and celebrating our different gifts is paramount.
  
  Workawayers will also have daily opportunities to explore and care for one of the most stunning and livable ecologies on the planet — coastal BC marine life — which is part of the unceded traditional territory of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. Come join us to collect litter/clean the beaches, or even volunteer with Bowen's incredible recycling facility, B.I.R.D. We can even meditate together when the kids let us ;)

  Alojamiento

  Big room with plenty of sunlight overlooking the water. There’s an open area with a queen bed, and a semi-detached study. Big closet. Your own bathroom with tub and shower next to the suite.
  
  The house is surrounded by large trees overlooking the mountains, huge grounds, beautiful living room with fireplace, Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and large open concept kitchen. Very spacious.
  
  We share dinner every day, although workawayers are always welcome to dine separately or with us. Prepare your own breakfasts and lunches in a big kitchen full of ingredients. Help us think of new recipes/ingredients! We eat vegetarian a few times a week, although we also eat meat/fish/etc.

  Algo más...

  This is a phenomenal location to explore one of the most beautiful parts of the world. North Vancouver is a 20 minute ferry ride away, for restaurants and art galleries and all other urban amenities. On Bowen, there are beautiful hiking trails around the house, lots of beaches to explore, mountains, kayaking, a fish hatchery, saunas, a few great cafés, and at least two delicious cideries. Check out the area on Google maps. You can also take a local ferry to many different destinations around British Columbia.
