  Description

  Hello dear workawayers!
  My name is Kokia.
  As a woman on a big land, I would be very happy to welcome you in my paradise during the summer to have a little help!
  I'm 38 year old, I like to play and listen to all kinds of music and i'm a singer too. I live in St-Cyrille-De-Lessard, a little village in the countries, in the province Québec. I've been working with my ex husband on building our house and now that we got separated, i still have big projects to take care of, such as doing some finish work on the house, prepare the wood for the winter, cut trees, work on the lanscape, clean the trails to go to the river, do some gardening projects... On that paradise land, there is a beautiful river, where we can bathe. There are beautiful paths to walk on too. I have a camper to welcome 2 people for a short time, because I use it once in a while for touring with my shows and also to travel and do road trips. But, i've got enough space to welcome another camper van, or a trailer tent, or juste a tent if you'd like to set it up somewhere on the land. You can have access to water and electricity.
  
  Since I have many projects on this beautiful piece of land,I would like to have some help cleaning all the trees we put down, clean branches, make outside wook cords, fix little things here and there, build little wood shelter for the. The person that we need should be able to manage a chain saw, have some abilities building ( for little projects like I mentionned) ... So, many little and bigs things to work on. I've been sharing a part of the land with my parents since last year. We have a little outdoor kitchen where the main house is. This place can also be available once in a while. We also have a few friendly musical events during the summer that will be a lot of fun! We don't expect the workawayer to work many hours a day. Maybe 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week. I'm super open for discussion too! I don't commit for feeding our workawayers every day, but of course,i will be happy to invite eating with me and my friends or parents once in a while! We offer many spots on the land to go park and explore. We are very open people and easy going. If you have company pets we can discuss about it. There is no shower in the camper van but if you have your own set up, we can hook you on water. We go clean up in the river almots every day during summer! There is an outside toilet and also one on the motor home.
  
  I'd be very happy and pleased to meet the next roadtrippers who will come enjoy the peace of nature here, hear to coyotes sing in the evening, bathe in the river, walk in the forest and help me keep this place pretty and welcoming.
  
  I also have project of growing food with my parents so. Another project we'd need help with and that we look forward too!
  
  So if you think you could be good at one of these tasks or projects and that a an agreable person who wants to meet other agreable people, you are more than welcome! SO let's meet!
  
  Cant' wait to hear from you!
  
  Kokia
  
  P.S.
  
  If needed, i can send more pictures of the campeur eventually. Right now, it is in a garage in another town for the winter. It's very nice inside, cozy and well decorated. 2 double beds ( one is a couch as well), 1 toilet, kitchen. NOt to drive around tough, only to stay on the land. I need very attentionate people that will be taking good care of it. But best scenario, the peole have their own traveling set up.

  They would learn to speak French Québécois, they will live in the woods with the beautiful nature, 5 min walk to the river, good people, gathering with musicians, giving the opportunity to spend time on a nice piece of property in the nature, we can give rides to go to the village for groceries and others once in a while, an hour away from Québec city if you want to go out and explore, 10 minutes away from the big St-Laurent river with the beautiful view on the mountains.... We also do many music gigs so we can give opportunities to come with us enjoy these moments. We also have some musical and friends gatherings on the land! Very friendly and quiet place. NO traffic. There is an organic vegetable stands about half a mile from our house! For a total relaxing nature experience and wild life, it's happening here!
