  Descripción

  I am a self motivated woman from Quebec. I have lived on Haida Gwaii, BC for 11 years now, a remote community on a remote island which is a rainforest surrounded by the sea and by mountains. I bought a property in 2021 which I have worked hard to settle onto (including moving a whole house onto the property and building a greenhouse and wood working shop)! I have had many workaway folks come help me with this in the past few years who have helped with building, gardening, cleaning, cooking, organizing...and we have had such an amazing time together!!! I have travelled extensively and lived abroad for many years and love to meet folks from around the globe. I'm a pretty social person, love traveling, listening and playing music (ukulele), dancing, hiking, paddle boarding/kayaking, scuba diving, wild harvesting, cooking, doing yoga, reading... and chillin in my hammock! That being said, I am also a very autonomous person and would love to host people who can work alone when directions and expected outcome are clear and who have a minimum of building and tool use experience.
  I will be away from Jan-March giving back to the workaway community doing workaway projects myself, in Europe so cannot host anyone but will be renting out my house for that time if anyone is looking for a place to stay...

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  I am a cook, a writer, I also work doing Thai and Swedish massage, and am an avid outdoors enthusiast who loves to do wild harvesting, transformation and experimenting. I also love dance and yoga and art. I can exchange with my volunteers in 3 languages about world travel, local wild harvested food and culture, and much more!

  Ayuda

  Since I moved my house onto my property (2022), I have been building up the garden, composters, a wood working shop (ongoing), a greenhouse (spring/summer 2024) and improving the space in general.
  
  In 2025, the focus will be on transforming the wood working shop into a guest house (plumbing, electrical, finishing work), building an outdoor outhouse for the yurt, building a gazebo for a jacuzzi (I am building a day spa on the property), improving the garden space, etc. Lots of various help will be needed but anyone with specialized skills will be prioritized. Oh, my lovely dog Henri always needs love and attention and good exercise so that is also part of the help I need.

  Alojamiento

  There are a few options including a recreational vehicle with a double bed, it's own kitchen and living room which is parked in my yard OR a private room with futon in my house. I have a 2 bedroom house, with each bedroom being at opposite ends of the house. That being said, the bedroom you would be using is also my massage room so it periodically needs to be vacated during the day. I would enjoy cooking to be shared but am prepared to cook for volunteers as well if that isn't part of your skill set! Would love to share at least 1 meal a day with volunteers. Helps keep communication flowing!

  Algo más...

  I love board games, co-creating art, sharing music, ideas, food, ways of living alternatively and respectfully, I am all about creating and maintaining strong deep relationships built on trust, love and reciprocity. I love workaway because it embodies the way I want to live - in a mutually beneficial environment where everyone's skills and interests are supported, utilized and appreciated.
  There are lots to do around here including kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, nature walks, a great Haida Museum, good restaurants, a yoga studio, ecstatic dance, open mics and karaoke, wild harvesting possibilities galore!!!
