Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Cultural Exchange
The family has Irish, Canadian, and Japanese heritage. You will benefit from cultural exchange experiences involving these cultures, cuisine, and language. We also have lots of books on nature, gardening, permaculture, mushrooms, and cooking. There is a lot to explore. You will also learn more about permaculture gardening and can add your creative touch to the evolving landscape of the property.
You will be made to feel part of the family, working together in the garden/household, playing together, and sharing meals. We look forward to spending time with you.
