  Descripción

  Come and experience the beautiful east coast of Canada while you help the host renovate a home into a work of art - it is a fun and creative project! I live right next to a national park with one of the best local beaches only 14 km away and over 60 km of hiking and biking trails - and I have a bike that you can use and just got a couple of kayaks as well! I also make occassional trips to one of the nearby towns and the city of Moncton.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  I am an English language teacher so if you are looking to improve your English I can help improve your pronunciation and explain the structure of the language for you. I also am happy to share what I know of Canadian culture. I am new to the French Acadian culture that is around me now on the east coast - we can learn more about it together!

  Ayuda

  If you have any experience working on a house renovation it will be useful. I am transforming a home into something more beautiful - this includes putting in beautiful glass tiles, new flooring, and getting rid of ugly old interiors! There also might be a few small carpentry jobs.
