  Descripción

  Hi! My name is Carmen. We (my partner David, our 2 cats and 1 dog) live on a small urban property in the heart of Victoria, BC. I'm an Indigenous language teacher (Anishinaabemowin) and an educator at the University of Victoria, and David owns a fiction editing business and is an author. Mino, or dog is a sweet little black and white basenji who loves cuddles and hiking. Our cats are also very cuddly characters!
  
  Our home is an urban oasis. It's a peaceful and private spot in the middle of a busy neighborhood. There is lots to do around town (music, theatre, art, hiking and outdoors, etc.). We're on major bus routes.
  
  We love to share our lives and meals with new people and are always happy to show visitors around.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We can provide meals, potlucks (which set host regularly), community connections, conversation, hiking, canoeing, camping trips, and perhaps even some experiences with Anishinaabemowin learning!
  
  We have both taught English in Canada and abroad and also love to support language learning goals!
  
  We believe in reciprocity and mutual learning, whether that’s over a shared meal, while working side by side, or exploring language and culture together.

  Ayuda

  We’re looking for help with two things:
  
  Clearing out invasive species in our backyard
  Light, collaborative renovation projects
  
  We’re not hiring tradespeople through Workaway, just hoping to share the workload with travelers who are interested in learning and working alongside us. We’ll be doing the work too and hiring professionals when needed.
  
  This is a great fit if you enjoy hands-on tasks, working with others, and contributing to creative home projects. No experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
